The only way I could play EQEMU was thru the patcher, and now that its not working I cant play.

Ive tried playing EQEMU thru the Start menu, and selecting "Run"

But I get error 1017! ARGH

I have EQEMU installed here
C:/EQEMu

I have tried the following codes in "Run" and they dont work

"C:\EqEmu" eqgame.exe patchme

"C:\EqEmu\eqgame" patchme

"C:\EqEmu\eqgame"

"C:\EqEmu\eqgame.exe"


I love EQEMU, its almost just like the real thing, plus, I save 13 dollars a month!

Please help me. :cry:

Default This is some extreme BS

This is some extreme BS, I know we don't pay, but the reason we came over to this thing is to NOT pay, now THEY expect us to pay??!!!??? That is some weak-as* bs, You didn't ask us to pay in the first place, and now you are going to shut down until we do??!!??? ALSO, you have to be such pessamists, keeping a log of stuff so you can give a list! Jesus! You created it, take responsibilitys, dont scape-goat your way out of this, I mean come on! Face the music! BTW, FYI, you haven't been sued yet, so don't go and be a fuc*ing jackas*, for gods sake, give the people what they want!!!

I think theobeo92 should take a chill pill.

First this site is not a money maker and they can do with it as they like.... it is their right.

I would love nothing more than to get back in, I have no problem with them logging my email address... think about it, to use this system you already have given your email and had it verified to get a log in name and password. I log could have already existed.

I would like to know what files do get patched. With that information I could pull out some old cd's and try to get back on without the patch server.

Do you expect Hogie to pay for the bandwidth out of pocket? Welcome to the opensource community, no one person should take on all of the responsibility of the project...

You're a moron. The people who develop and run EQEmu owe you nothing, stop acting like you're getting ripped off. You're getting exactly what you pay for.

If you had a reading comprehension level above that of a 6th grader, you would've realized they likely aren't going to require everyone to pay to use the patcher. They took it down so they could implement an account system so people have to sign up to use it (just like they do to use EQEmu), so they can have better control over who leeches files from them, whether it be someone from another emulator project or any of the countless morons who run EQLive and EQEmu out of the same folder so they have to keep re-downloading the files every time they want to play on EQEmu, which sucks up the bandwidth you're not paying them to use.

You give them nothing in return for all the hard work and free services they provide for you. Unless you want to host a patch server for them (no, your DSL or cable modem won't cut it) or develop your own EQ emulator, you're in no place to curse them out. Grow up.

If you can't figure out how to patch eq for yourself... i _highly_ doubt you'll be able to write your own emu

nooooooooo i love EQemu...somebody said "free eq" and i about shat myself, apart from the 3 or 4 times i creamed my pants...and then to have it ripped away... i agree with babar, at least give us a timeframe. i realize you owe us nothing, and indeed provide a great service with no compensation..but please, at least give your fans a time to work with? I REALLY just want to play again, because im leaving on the 28th (today is the 22 :cry: ) and i wont be back for a month and a week..... cmon, my bday is the 25th, maybe bring it back for a day? an hour? a half a min? i love you.... :( :( :( :(


oh and that guy that was bitching at you has the brain power of a bowl of tapioca, and i ate him for you :evil:

Default screwed

if you patched EQLive after the patcher went down you have to wait until the patcher comes back unless you find another way to patch your files. there are other ways you can patch it. i think somewhere on the hackersquest forums they have another way to patche your files but im not sure of the exact location, you'l have to find that yourself.

its me krusty on my main account

another way of getting on without patching is through EQW.

once again this wont work if you patched EQLive and have no other way of getting EQEmu patched without the EQEmu patcher(like a back up file or somethin). just uncheck all the box's on the EQW main start up and set your EQ host path and it should work

Default CANT PLAY ANYMORE

Now that the patcher is down I cant play EQ at all . The EQEmu patcher is the only thing Ive been playing on my comp so I'll be waiting for it to come back up . I dont have a regular acount for EQ so Im stuck waiting . I couldnt even comprehend the idea of making a server that a friend made and let me be a server op . I was just learning how far down the "rabbit hole"went . You couldnt even fathom my curiousity . I still have so many questions
that need to be answered that if I start I wont stop. Ive just gotten to use the patcher at my house and then I cant even use it
Ijust really hope it comes back up soon.

you know I enjoyed EqEmu because I could come on here and play on a non-legit server and test out items and go to area's and test them out...I found this very helpful before questing or purchasing items and hunting in certain area's....I realize that EqEmu was not as perfect as EqLive, but it had exceptional quality in my opinion...and whoever disagrees does not realize how lucky they are to have EqEmu avialible to them....let alone how much trouble people such as Hogie have gone to, to bring forth an excellent creation that shadows EqLive...My opinion is EqLive is the best Online Game around and the second best online game is EqEmu...hopefully the EqEmu staff can overlook the sorry ass bastards that dont know the first thing about programing a game such as EqEmu and either bring back version 4.4 or comeback with a new kick ass system....either way I will still look at EqEmu as a great experience for learning more about Everquest zones and items and mob toughness....You guys are frickin awesome in my book :P :P :P
