December 18th Patch

Actualy the amount of children that play EQEMU and read the forums is unbelievable, I have 2 daughters that play all the time, and imagin if someone has a Jewish boss and wile there checking up on the forums there boss walks by and reads that. People dont think of the all the what ifs, like what if one of the 10 year olds that play come across that post then ask there parents what it means and there parents get pissed and come after the Devs. They cant do much other then complain but why set ourselfs up for problems. when we can just avoid the situation?

Living in fear that you (even less, someone on the same board) offend someone is cowardly. Perhaps you should rent a film called "PCU". Back on topic, you can't (shouldn't at least) be legally obligated to keep people with stances that individuals may find offensive off your board. The children argument is the only sane one, and I personally think that people need to explain to their children about people with strange viewpoints early so that they just don't get abducted by cults or something, ESPECIALLY were I to allow my children access to the internet at large (which I know for a fact to be full of people weirder than Jacko).

While I agree that sheltering your children is not the best policy, these boards are no place for hate mongering, racial slurs, political agendas or flames.

It's within the rights of the boards moderators to ban/moderate based on the post and/or poster. There are alot of children that play here, and while you can't protect them from idiots all the time, we can at least filter the amount that comes through.

Right or wrong, regardless of your views Nil, your opinion is not the one that counts in determinng how to handle these matters. The post was a flame, and everything after the derogatory remarks were just pointless and icing on the cake for a good reason to ban him. I personally don't care what anyones personal or religious views are, none of my concern, and I wouldnt ban someone for having a different viewpoint than mine, but I will ban people who will obviously come here, attack others, and generally annoy the piss outta us.

Good reply. Say, I installed EQ after the patch on the 18th. Is there any hope for me?

[Tharamil]

I did the same exact thing, my computer had said ,,|,, and died on me. So had to replace my HD, Mobo, Memory. Well that being said I had to reinstall EVERYTHING onto my HD. Though I am in a raiding guild with Zatrekan, I really wanted to play EQemu. There was no way to restore to a set point, so I hope that the Devs come up with an update to help the retards like I, who installed after Dec 18th or decided not to listen to the devs and patched away

I am also glad that the devs made a reply to Faceless. I am 22 years old, dont have children, but I found that as a pointless post and really immature.

Thanks

Of course I only do this because of my hideously small penis.. I mean seriously, I could do a cheerio without breaking it ! This has driven me to rampant acts of homosexuality but even extremely effeminine gay men make fun of me and can beat me up, so my only option left is to get on the internet and act like a complete dumbass. Oh woe is me, failure is already destined in my stars.


i have to say that this is very true about me yes yes you really captured my life story but let me tell you some thing a little quote i wrote

"your intellection for a prevalent reality is futily farcical im many demotingly commiserational ways"

the picture of me was a perfect image to you really captured my good side :twisted:

Hello all, i was posting for a little help with doing a system restore. I do start > programs > asscessories > system tools > then i have an option of doing A disk cleanup, Disk defrag, backup, character map, getting started, scheduled tasks and system info, NO system restore. I was hoping someone could give me any info... if they're having the same problem, know any good places to find system restore, etc. I've searched in windows explorer, but I cant find it. I know i'll eventually find it if i keep looking, however that'll take me a few hours of non-stop searching :( . Please, i'd appreciate any help anyone can offer.

CJB916:

1) Are you running Windows XP
2) Are you logged in with an 'Admin' account ?

[Shadow-Wolf]

i dont think hes running XP cause XP came after they started puting system restore on computers most pcs from before 1998 wont have system restore

It'd be really helpful to some people to say exactly what you need to do to play the game now that the new patch has come out. I actually got the patch before I knew it would break EMu but I did the system restore (more than once, after experimenting a bit, to be honest.) Now I'm fine and it's as if the patch never happened. BUT! See I see you guys saying to "back-up" your existing EQ folder and to "replace" a couple files. Dont get too technical on me buds, I don't exactly know what you mean by that.. details would be nice.

Can someone just say exactly what you need to do before you run the patch, and then what it is you need to do afterwards? To back-up a file means to what? To replace means to what?.. replace the old files with the new, or the new files with the old. And by backing-up the file do I just copy the entire EQ folder and have it be called "Copy of Everquest"? Then what am I suppose to do? These terms you people use are just beyond me! Anyways, help would be again, nice. Without your help, I'm lost
