Ducky. So the patch server is down indefinitely, anyone trying to play on a server can't get the necessary files, and those of us just now trying to set up a server are SOL. Not to mention that asking about ways to circumvent the problem will result in a banning...
Not that I'm really complaining (free software already in the gray area of the law and all that) but there really needs to be something that people like me can do about it.
Anyone got a T-3 and an understanding admin? Maybe someone could put up a new patch server or something...
Currently I've got this really nifty EQ server up and running, but the experience is limited to watching the DOS windows load.
An idea might be to create a patch based on the absolute latest version of EQ which downgrades from that. (Then distro by independent means.) The load should then be on other servers. I'm sure that a good many people on these forums would be willing to give up some bandwidth to that cause. (Myself included.)
