Live Is Coming

[xwing23]

I went out and bought the everquest chronicals vol 1 and wanted to play on the emulator server. I went through and patched everything like the play guide suggested setup my account with the forum and added the account under LS or whatever it was called. I updated the host file to point to the eqemulator server like it said. I then created the new shortcut to bypass patching and loaded the game. I went to login and it says connecting to server but never goes past this point. Am I missing something or do I need to wait for something to come out? I really want to play the game.

Thanks,
