Just to post the continuing mis-adventures of my eq life, I decided to go against my better judgment and download and install the EQEmu Akka's PEQ Server Repack for Windows, from the link posted above.

It did not go well.

Yet another simple guideline and directions to follow, it was almost self installing. Hey, look. It installed. Ok, reboot and we are off to the races.

Oops, I can't get Iexplorer to work. WTF! Without access to the internet, I have no way of looking up possible existing suggestions or help. I can't even dl another browser to use because, like you know, I can't access the internet. Just fn great.

So I go into my "F this bs" attitude and decide to uninstall Akka's program. Wait! A new surprise. It won't let me uninstall because some mystery program is using some part of Akka's program. What complete BS!

So I spend hours and hours going thru every single folder and deleting every stinkin' file, one by one. Until I'm down to maybe a dozen files that won't delete. Just great. :(

I continually try to uninstall thru my control panel, when after numerous tries, it finally uninstalls. Why now and not the first try?

Good bye and good riddance Akka's PEQ Server Repack. In my opinion, any program that behaves like that one did upon installation, is a bad program. I had zero problems installing and playing numerous eqemu servers and had fun in them all, so don't tell me it's my computer. And I don't give a flying F#@k what success anyone else has had. All I know is, I got F#@ked royally. Enough said.

I am done with this eq server crap. Gone is my thoughts of having fun along those paths.

It's one thing to be intelligent, which I am, lol, and quite another to be educated in the required fields to handle the bumps and hiccups that will inevitably happen along the way. I also certainly don't possess the character to handle frustration well. Better that I just enjoy playing others eqemu's and let it go at that.

The sad part is, I never got the chance to play with Akka's PEQ server. I was so pissed off at having my internet borked, I was in no mood to play with the server part. Oh well.

Amazing, how once again, anything that can go wrong, does go wrong. The Fn motto of my life.

Oh, just in case anyone cares, as soon as Akka's program was finally gone, my Iexplorer worked like a charm. Go figure.

Cheers to everyone out there and I sincerely hope your eq endeavours turn out better than mine.
