Just noticed that at the bottom of your one post... I HAD patched live because the walk through I used from the walk through forum, said to...

So now... knowing this... I assume I have to wait for something... what is that something I need to wait for before I can log onto my own server? lol

And while I have a rant goin here... being that the server uses MY files to load the world, shouldn't it be ok that I've patched, being that they are MY files? That part confuses me... heh

its already out...5.7dr4. just use that instead of 5.7dr3 and you'll be able to play, and dont forget to edit you eqhost.txt file and make it read-only.

it doesnt load up your files, but uses the database that you source into your server. Hence it working with 5.7dr4 and not with 5.7dr3.

another thing is 5.7dr4 is really buggy right now, it might be better just to wait for the next non-developer release to come out.

going to give 5.7dr4 a shot to see exactly how "buggy" it is... Hell I've played on live servers and you cant get much more "buggy" than those... lol thanks for the help all, hope this one works for me

The server selection of DR4 servers completly sucks.. is there any files I can download and replace to play on the old patch thing? (DR3)... been tryin to find a non legit server to mess around on since greenleaf down... but the only non legit one crashes like no other >< any help would be nice

Still sourcing... beeping getting on nerves... starting to talk like William Shatner... Must make beeping stop...

Let this be a lesson to you folks out there reading this thread in hopes of it helping ya... when you re-source a BIG main file, remember to turn off the beeps, around the start of hour 2 they are as maddening as the ticking in Ak'Anon

Ok this thing has been sourcing for about 5 hours now... does any one have an estimate of how long it usually takes to finish? most of the lines are duplicate entry errors, about 1 in 25 are actually getting written over the old DB, I would have thought it would have finihed by now.. :/
