Patch Question
Yeah yeah, feel free to attack me, (I notice all the other forums attack for stupid questions... this is the only one I have joined because it appears to be the most mature)
here is the deal... I have never played EQ, I dont really even CARE about the damn game ( I am waiting for The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion to be released personally )
>>>BUT>>>
a friend of mine who hooks me up regularly asked me to find out if he could get something to standalone for his private LAN so he can play the game. He bought it a long while back (he has the 3-piece set (which doesnt make much sense to me its only two CDs)) he bought the game but then lost the ability to go online due to financials and so he has had it sitting there and he would like to play it.
I got your latest server emu, I downloaded everything it says to download and I am in the process of setting it up (which I am not pleased that I had to back down to MySQL 4.0.22 to do it, I design my own sites using 4.1.13 and your Emu seems to hate it) **BUT** there seems to be a lot of emphasis regarding some patch or some such thing and not to patch beyond some date or whatnot... HE cant connect to the net, he cannot download any patches... for some reason it seems like people want to call the patch a WAREZ or some crap, if they let you download it from thier server before you can even add your account information, then it HAS to be free, so it CANT be a WAREZ.
So to recap:
we have what I believe to be a rather old set of Everquest,
we have absolutely no way to hook that system up to the internet to download patches or even play against other people,
and I am completely unsure whether I **need** a patch to make this server run for him.
can someone direct me to what I need to know instead of being cryptic? if someone HAS the required patch(es) and can give em up I will host the bloody FTP to **keep them up** if you want.
get back to me
