fixed one problem

[rainbowgal2005]

ok, from what i am understanding with the DO NOT PATCH ON 9/13 OR LATER thing is that cause i played normal everquest about 2 weeks ago i am screwed from playing EQemu? if that is right, (which i hope it is not) what can i do if anything and is it something that is going to be fixed...i have read every thread and post i can find about this and i just cant seem to understand what is going on. im no idiot, just confused...someone please kindly explain what this is about and what i might be able to do to fix it?

Heres how IT works :

1: You buy the game and install
2: You connect to EverQuest and a patcher starts
3: When patcher is finished you hit PLAY and it takes you into the game

The previous is the way to play EQ Live . Otherwise know as the OFFICIAL EverQuest. The following is the way to play EQEMU:

1: The Devs say "we are compatible with live"
2: Everyone patches to live
3: Everyone changes their eqhost.txt to correspond to the proper EQEMU login
4: Everyone clicks on the eqgame.exe that they sent to desktop with the patchme fix on the end of it
5:Then hopefully everyone has fun

And then Everquest live has another patch ! Ooops did we all remember to make a backup of the version of EverQuest we were playing EQEMU with before we hit the shortcut to EverQuest and it started patching to live??
Well if you did not and you happened to patch to live then guess what? Well you CANT play EQEMU until the Devs once again say that it is compatible with live.

You can do a fresh install all day long with whatever discs you have laying around ....EQ Platinum , Kunark , Half-Life2, Doom 3,......Whatever you wish but it will still NOT allow you to play on the EQEMU servers ....But why you ask ? Well because in those patches you did miss out on between whatever discs you did install and the date they say do NOT patch after there were some important files that you need installed from EQLive that you can NO LONGER get. It does not matter if you do a version check on your Everquest you have installed , I can tell you that if its a fresh install it will NOT work.

I hope this clears some of the confusion you are having with this or at least answers a question or two , It all is rather confusing especially for those that have not been around it , This is in no way meant to be a rant nor a flame just hopefully a simplified answer to a question asked very often.


DO NOT PATCH ON 9/13 OR LATER - 9/13 EQ Patch Breaks 0.6.2 (Which we are freezing on)

By "which we are freezing on" I would assume that NO , if you have patched after 9/13 then you will not be able to play unless you know someone that is willing to give you the needed files to play which is a bannable offense to ask for on these boards so please dont go there.
