The reason there is little documentation for setting up EQEmu if you've never played EQ before is you get people who don't know a single thing about the game asking the same questions that have been asked and answered hundreds if not thousands of times before.
If, somehow, they managed to get a server going or connect to one, they then ask everything about the game "Where do I hunt?" "What is a spell?" "Did I just die?".
I believe EQEmu is aimed at people who have played on Live and either stopped their account, or people who play on Live but would like a chance to experience the game in a different way.
I'm almost certain this Emu wasn't designed to be played by anyone and everyone who could download EQ for free and play. It is for people who play(ed) EQ and enjoyed it, but want something different (or free).
I've seen a lot of flaming on the boards lately, mostly from the Dev's, and a lot of people are "scared" to post for fear of "flamination" occuring.
If the boards get cleaned up, and a LOT of the old, now useless, posts removed, including 15 Stickies on the top of a forum (when 4 or 5 are on the same topic). I believe we need a FAQ or Guide which answers one question, or resolves a problem, and post it. That way people can go into the forum, find their problem and resolve it. If the fix doesn't work, it's removed. Only one post per issue, and that topic is updated when needed. That way a lot of problems will be solved.
I admit, I get annoyed when I see a new post every 2 or 3 days asking the same thing, especially when people "cnt b botherd 2spel or use caps or puntation or ...". However, I don't feel the need to post a reply saying "Already answred go away n00b learn some English." I either don't reply, or if I'm in a good mood I will say this has already been answered, look here, in future search.
EQEmu has a good community, but certain individuals (including some Devs) need to mature a bit or try a little harder to helpout.
Anyway, sorry for ther long post just wanted to say my thoughts on what's been happening the last few days.
