Freequest, heh, remember that one lol... seems like just a few years ago when the emu was new, so many devs, ah how much I miss it.

How do you remember FreeQuest when it did not exist beyond January of 2002?

'Using EQEmu since 2003, playing EQLive since 2001'

I have used it since then as in, I have had server files, and I had ran a server few years back, I had played on a freequest server back then, when I say using, I mean actually using the server software.

I've been silent on this thread for now but I feel I should just add my two cents.

If it was our intention to delete ancient posts, the archives wouldn't exist, it would simply be deleted. However, you can trace back to the first non-automated forum post on this database. http://eqemulator.net/forums/showthread.php?t=2

As you can see, our intention is not to remove that.

Because this is a constantly-changing project, it is the nature of the beast that information will get outdated. But even if something is, there will most likely still be resources that could help solve a problem you may be having that was written for an older version of EQEMu but that can be adapted to a newer version.

For documentation purposes, EQEMu is not and will never be a step-by-step hold-my-hand setup, if such is required you probably shouldn't be running EQEMu. That said, its really not all that difficult to set up EQEMu. Most problems that arise with installation come from ignorance of the documentation. And [b]that[b], my friends, is where the snobby attitude comes from.

True.

Now, the big thing that I have noticed is basically little documentation on the Linux setup, there is a large amount of documentation, but not as many as the Windows setup.

These guides that I was told to follow, and the wiki still says to follow, are very confusing at times.

It isn't too hard if you do it "my" way... don't get caught up in the wiki guides, download EQEmu source, compile it, and the biggest thing I have had a problem with is MySQL and the databases.

Occationally, I tend to also have some compile errors, but not often.
