I can get the login server to load and let me log in.. the problem I am having is that the world server does not load and it shows I have 0 of 0 expansions.

Might I get some help with this?

[jamromhem]

ok got past that problem... new problem. People connecting from the outside are not able to get past character creation.

The world server shows it is sending them to the zone, but they never get there.

Ok, I dont know if this problem is in this thread, as there is a lot to read through, but there is one problem I ran into just with my OS, that you might consider editing into your guide (which is great btw)......... If you are using Windows vista (not sure it 64 bit makes the difference or not), you might want to turn off UAC before attemping the "checkout SVN" step. When I tried it, it kept telling me cannot create directory blah, blah, blah... After disabling UAC (which you can do by running "msconfig" and choosing the tools tab and launching the "disable UAC"), I was able to make it happen.

dang i wish the old guides were all still working back from 2007. I was able to make them work flawlessly.

First, download the compiled server binaires.

Download Revision 774 with Bots here. Extract it. You should see a folder after you've extracted it called build - all your files are in there. This will be referred to as the server folder for this tutorial.

extract it to where? ....
