What do you mean undo the damage? If you are referring to what I think you are, that is for using the EQEMu patcher, which is long outdated and isnt used at all.. What is meant when asked if you patched today, is if you patched to EQLive... If you did this then there is NO way to undo what you have done, unless you have a backup directory that you didnt patch (like is suggested in all the guides)...

ok... im not sure if i patched live today, but say i did just for argument sake. if i reinstaled eq on my pc would that let me play? as of now i can log into eqemu fine, create a lvl 1 toon, and get the logging char into world page but then it kicks me back to the server page.

No... See you have to be patched UP TO a certain version of the EQLive... Let's take the EQEMu server version 0.5.3 for instance... If you wanted to be able to play on any of those servers, you would have to be patched (the game client) from the dates of Jan 24, 2004 up to, but NOT including, Feb 10th, 2004.... For version 0.5.5 you would need to be patched from Feb 10th up to, but NOT including today, in order to play on those servers...

Simply reinstalling EQ doesnt give you ANY patches at all, therefore you would not be able to play on ANY version of EQEMu...

This is the purpose behind the "Make a backup directory of EQ, so that if you patch and it breaks EQEMu, you will still have that one to fall back on" statement (which is NOT word for word, but you get the idea)....

When the devs get it fixed, you'll be able to play.. That is the best I can do, because they work on it in their spare time... It is usually very quick, but sometimes it is NOT so quick. It just depends on the complexity of the changes in the code that break the emu in the first place...

While it is still fresh in your mind, you should back up your current directory of EQ. That way when they fix it, and the next patch comes along, and it breaks it, you will be able to play even if you patched...
