I know this is kind of an old thread but I'm somewhat new here.
I've played on other peoples servers with no problems, and tonight I tried setting up a server of my own. After hours of trying to get it to work I found a solution to my problem. I was getting a 1002 error when trying to log in. Eventually I got past that and god to the character select screen. Created my character, and logged in. Imediately went LD and appeared back at the char select. Logged in again and was going good for a few minutes then I went LD again. I'm getting bad lag for some reason. It's not this bad on the other servers just this one it seems.
I'm already using EQW with it, and I'm not sure how to use the datarate.txt file. I don't know what the difference would make between 10.0 and 5.0(originally had 5.0). Could I get some help on this?
