totally redid everything tonight, re forwarded ports, sourced brand new DB, uninstalled mysql services and got a new one, and still looks like no one can connect, anyone have a MSN or AIM address that could speak with me over? I feel I am getting very close, I just have to be missing something simple, here is my current config:
<?xml version="1.0">
<server>
<world>
<shortname>whatever</shortname>
<longname>Lords of Chaos</longname>
<!-- Only specify these two if you really think you need to. -->
<!--<address>jimbobway.dyndns.org</address>-->
<!--<localaddress>127.0.0.1</localaddress>-->
<!-- Loginserver information. -->
<loginserver>
<host>eqemulator.net</host>
<port>5998</port>
<account></account>
<password></password>
</loginserver>
<!-- Sets the shared key used by zone/launcher to connect to world -->
<key>some long random string</key>
<!-- Enable and set the port for the HTTP service. -->
<http port="9080" enabled="true" mimefile="mime.types" />
</world>
<!-- Database configuration, replaces db.ini. -->
<database>
<host>localhost</host>
<port>3306</port>
<username>*****</username>
<password>*****</password>
<db>peq</db>
</database>
</server>
