Q. What is EQEmu?
A. EQEmu "emulates" Sony's EverQuest servers to provide an alternative method of playing EverQuest. You play on either servers hosted by other players, or on one you create yourself.

Q. Can Verant detect EQEmu?
A. No, there is no way for them to detect you use EQEmu unless you go on EverQuest and start talking about it, that would get you in trouble, possibly suspended/banned.

Q. I ran everquest.exe to get EQ updated to the latest patch but now the emulator does not work.
A. Due to the changes Verant makes to everquest it sometimes takes the developers some time to update the emulator to match. If an upcomming/current patch is expected to break the emulator, it will be posted in the news forum.
