Asking for warez here or talking about the illegal stuff is bannable this is the one and only warning

Because SOE changed a lot of stuff and the Devs do this in there free time out of the kindness of there hearts for no pay and they have school / jobs / family.

Want it done faster? hope onto SF and dig into the code and help fix it.

Hey ! Calm down ! I was just asking WHY it is that long, and not "why thoses stupids devs don't do it faster" (don't make the error to say that i said that devs were stupid, that is an exemple ok). Twas a question like another. Are you always like that ? I'm sorry if i maked someone cry, twas not my intention.

Let's reformulate my question : for what technic reason the works is so long ?

Ok, no one has the sudden desire to flame me to dead. For me its ok, i perdon you

Default System Restore to revert EQ to previous patch

Mattmeck, thank you SO MUCH!!! Using system restore worked for me! I got on for the first time last night and was up until 1:30 in the morning playing it hehe. It was wierd though to see so many zones with no mobs anywhere, and the buildings without doors in those mobless zones. Is that normal? What ever, I don't care atm as long as I can get it running I'm one happy gamer now!

Hey Action Aligator, in Windows XP, and in ME too I believe, System Restore can be found in Start--Programs--Accessories--System Tools. It did screw up a few other projects I'd recently been working with but it was well worth it. Good luck to you.

-K

I come back to my first question, almost. So my new question is :

If i pacth it a first time when i install it, but the team success to make it work. I can play for a while. But if a new patch comes (and i dont play on official servers), am i obligated to patch it or i can keep it like this ?

Thanks.

Answer: Dont patch.

Extended Answer: Leave your emu as is untill the devs release a new server version, and your main server switches to it, just because there is a new release doesnt mean patch, because you may lose your favorite server if they are an older version.

Work for you?

Hmm, sorry for hijacking the thread.

If I were to start my own server for me and a few friends, is there anyway to setup a server to run a fresh install of an everquest release? An example, incase I'm not making sense, would be installing EQ Trilogy. Is there a server release I could setup and run over a lan to host it?

Just a quick question, albeit a little bit of a newbish one.. I have 2 versions of EQ on my computer..the one I play on Live servers with, and one from back when I beta-tested OoW. The OoW one hasnt been patched from the live servers for months...being brand new to the EQEmu scene , would I be able to play / set up a server by using that one? Thanks for any help offered

It really depends. How old is your version? The last patch needed is the one before 12/15/04. Since the 12/15/04 one, EQEmu has been trying to catch up to EQLive, but I'm not sure exactly when the last working patch came out.

Only way to know for sure is point the eqhost.txt to eqemu servers and try to connect to a server.
