Default Client Setup for Wintards 5.9-DR2 (asof: 10/10/2004)

STEP 1 (Pick Your EQ Directory)
Pick One
C:/Program files/Sony/EverQuest
C:/Program files/Sony/EverQuest Trilogy

STEP 2 (Patch EverQuest Live, Advanced/Complete File Scan)
Run your eqgame.exe program in the EverQuest directory.
Wait a moment for the client to sync, then click the advanced button.
Checkmark everything except Legends (the top checkbox, leave blank) and run a compleate file scan and save. When the scan is compleate click the Download Files button.

STEP 3 (Extracting Downloaded Files)
After you have downloaded all the files with the EverQuest Patcher and you are able to play the game Extract the downloaded files from STEP 1 onto your desktop.
Move eqhost.txt into your EverQuest Directory and overwrite the existing files.

Run the shortcut you extracted in STEP 3.
Login using your Username/Password for these messageboards.

Not all servers work! If none work its not your fault. If you follow the directions here you did whats needed to play any DR1/DR2 unless older clients are required, in which case you should find the source for those files from the Server Op before playing.

I suggest playing Winter's Roar. Download WR Patcher. Read the Starting Guides, and Naming Policies.
