I mostly followed Vales install
here with the exceptions, of course, that I used the latest revision (about a week ago, something like 981 or similar) and am running PrivateLogin instead of the EqEmuLogin ('cause that's what I could get to work for me). I have never actually played this game before, so I know little about it, but I finally got the server up and running. Yay!
All happy and ready to explore the world, I created a character and logged in. Took a while to figure out what was going on, but eventually (by looking up the info online) I was able to leave the mines. I was playing a Dark Elf Wizard and got a "quest" (really just some guy saying how to make armor) early on to head out to the Nektulos forest and get various bits from baddies and make stuff. So I headed out to the Nektulos forest... and appeared in the middle of nowhere with nothing but darkness around me. Being a GM, I ported to a spot in the middle of the map. Of course, all that jumping around meant that I was attacked by large numbers of baddies. Fortunately I am cheating madly and slaughtered them. Hmmm. Decided to go back into town. Except... there's no portal back into town. On top of that, I can't seem to find any actual
quests anywhere inside, the Town Crier sells nothing but blank pages... basically the whole thing seem unfinished, effectively unplayable (in the sense that unless you know exactly where you're going and are cheating to get higher levels in the first place, you'll get nowhere). On top of that, I've been attacked by creatures moving under the ground and seen creatures go through walls or over them as if they weren't there.
Is this the case? Is the database so incomplete that you
have to know the game really well to play it, or at least have someone who does, not to mention a GM around so you can actually get from one zone to another and back?
How complete is the DB?
