Local play
 

Would there be any way for me to simply run a server and play on it locally, only for myself?

on minilogin but thats currently broke with the newer eqemu servers

not with 5.3
 

It does work with 5.3DR1 Dec15 and Dec17 however if you don't have a compiler you are going to have to wait for one of them to go public. Seems I saw a link to a compiled binary of 5.2 with the minilogin fix. Ill try and fish it up I may however be wrong

EDIT yes here it is

http://m77.host.sk/AK1122/World.exe

Rightclick and save

This is just the fixed world.exe you still need to download the 5.2 win32 binaries on the file page and just replace world with this one

P.S. its 5.2

Wumpas when i try and use that it says its not a valid program
