you cant play with a fresh install. period.

Let me clear this up a bit since their seems to be some confusion, It is true that you cannot play on 5.7 servers with a fresh isntall/patch becasue it requires some RenderingEffect files that are not included in the install or the current patch since the client got changed it compressed them into a couple files instead of alot.
So if your connecting to 5.8 then it will work, becasuse the client is compatable with eqlive, meaning all the files that are required to play with that client are currently being downloaded by the patcher, thus if you do a fresh install you will get all the files you need.
All a fresh install does is allows you to only see the patical effects, and spell thats all the other graphics wont work.
Also another point, since the current patch is not compatable with the 5.7 servers, you cannot freshly install everquest right now and play on a 5.7 server unless you get files from someone else, which might or might not be illegal you decide, but whatever you do dont ask for hte files on eqemulator its against the rules and you will be banned i'm pretty sure.
This does not apply to the 9-14-04 patch as it is broken now so dont ask. Up to that date i'm correct i believe.
