Ahh, but then this is no longer a problem with documentation. I can understand wanting to "play with it" Sometimes you can learn a lot that way. But if people would just set it up the way described in the docs, there would be a lot less frustrated people out there. So instead of reading the docs, and setting it up in a hour or so. They spend 2 trying to figure it out, 2 reading the forums (or 5 min to post "Help me!!!!), the 2 more getting help from someone else. At that point the person helping has no clue what has, and hasn't been done right.

Find out where others are having problems? At least 60% of those are due to not reading the readme. Probably another 20% due to not knowing about their computer. There are always other things out of our control too. Verant decides to make a patch that breaks the emu or eqw, loginserver goes down for a bit, broadband routers blocking ports.

I don't mean to sound harsh or anything, I know sometimes it can come off that way. It is just that there are a lot of people that feel it is always easier to just ask someone to fix it for em rather than spend the time reading. They feel it is too hard, and that will always be true until they read the readme.
