hold on hold on
I admit I am temporarily stumped, but there is no reason to overspeculate and get agitated. THERE IS A SOLUTION to the login issue of 0.2.0
Point 1: don't delete egamain.dll or anything like that. It won't get you anywhere.
Point 2: you can use either eqw 2.2 or egame patchme, so you are not restricted.

I can now run a server just fine going to the login server; scares me a bit on how I am able to get a private server connected to the Internet, but in some ways it's sort of a freebie.
Point 3: the login server route as it is currently done, will get your through the login process and on SOME server. It just may not be yours because if you are like me you are behind a firewall, or you don't have public access to your machine.
Point 4: mucking around with eqhost.txt is not going to solve Point3.
Fact is the current setup works for some people and not for others. Shawn mentions the thing about the name/password and I am going to explore that some more. Otherwise, I may go and actually play EQ this afternoon and wait for a solution later this week.
