You may have a point that new users who have patched and cannot use eqemu at this time don't know that they can't play until they ask.
It's always been this way, where you come in and it doesn't work out of the box. We just assume that when people come to ask, and see the exact same error number, and the exact same response over and over, that they will realize that it's not just them having the problem. We don't really cater to the new users very well, and that may be something that should change.
Nobody has offered to create a "modern update" page that keeps people completely informed to the situation of eqemu. Until such a page exists as a living document (dynamic data based on most current and applicable news), it's really hard to keep the new users up to date. A lot of things change suddenly, and I don't think anyone who has the time to do these things has the data to keep it updated.
Would anyone volunteer to keep an up-to-date living applicable news website that could be linked by all new users to explain the most recent changes, and how it affects everyone?
