Default How to Bump Your Server Name

This is just a quick tip for those who want to bump your server name further up on the standard whitelist.
It's an old common practice, but some may not know how, and want to.

As you see by this screenshot, the server at the top of the list is using simple Alt code added to the
server long name in the eqemu_config.xml file, and the serverlongname listed in the database in the
tblworldserverregistration table.


To do this, use a text editor that recognizes alt code (such as notepad++) and open the eqemu_config.xml file
In the "longname" section, put the text cursor in front of the first letter of your server name and press Alt 01
It should look like this after :


Copy that whole server name (including the added alt code) then open your database, tblworldserverregistration
table. Paste that entire name into the ServerLongName section. You may just see a space where the alt code is,
but it will be there.
Then after you restart your server, it should show further up on the white list.
(alt code names go in alphabetical order as well.)
