Are people Idiots?

I've always held that this project is far too easygoing on rulebreakers. If people can't even read the rules, how do you figure they're going to be proper contributors? Contributing takes a certain effort, and if people aren't willing to put in the effort to read the rules then they're certainly not going to put in the effort to make a proper contribution to the community.

Now being a new user myself... I just think a good link to a Common Mistakes or Issues type page would be really helpful to everyone looking to join. You know we're all looking for the quickest solution and that's not going to change so why not just put up a page of information to answer the top 20 questions people come in with.

I came in here reading posts and trying to understand what exactly is going on here and I can see how it's easy to misread or misunderstand a post. Like patching to live for instance... right here in the instructions http://www.eqemulator.net/forums/faq...#faq_playguidehttp://www.eqemulator.net/forums/faq...#faq_playguide it says to update the patcher the normal way and I bet that screws over a lot of people right off the bat. You know what that leads to? ----> "Question: Hey! blah blah back-patcher blah blah blah."

There are still a ton of questions that I have unanswered but now that I've figured out I either have to buy titanium or wait for you guys to catch up.... what's the point? Seriously, putting a Step #1: READ THESE RULES AND FAQ
s BEFORE PROCEEDING might help a bit and put in the commonly asked questions with the appropraite answers.

WOW This is so old I had forgoten about it, way to resurect the past!

I got a question that's been nagging me for a while now....Now mind you Im not supporting anyone doing anything against the rules and Im not trying to impose upon them my self, but how is it considered warez or distrubuting copywrited files illigealy when SOE them selves supplied them for free at one time? Doesnt the fact that SOE gave them out for free kinda negate the illigeality of asking for previous files?

[Belfedia]

We don't make a new discusses on legality, we make many here i think !
Soe have right for distribute his files (of course), you don't have right for distribute soe files (except with his agreement). I think it was clear

Ok lts say

SOE = me

File = my car


I have the right to let people use my car, hell I have the right to give my car away.

I like SOE let certain people use my car, owever that does NOT give those people the right to let others use it.

SOE is NOT giving anything away, there letting people USE them, there keeping full disto rights.

People who ask this question didm not read all the stuff you were sopose to read before you clicked "I agree" before downloading or playing.

The BIG RED exampleO NOT PATCH ON 9/13 OR LATER - 9/13 EQ Patch Breaks 0.6.2

I was curious where these went... Because I havent seen this warning for quite a while... I know titanium is the way to go now, however, do we have a working versions to patch date(s)? That would be nice.

I know that pre-5/11/2005 works for 6.1DR1, because thats what im currently running. However im looking at updating my database, and looking through its not possible with the version im running. However I did patch EQ before May 15thish(I think its sometime in mid-April), as well as a couple other clients I have from my laptop patched a while back, etc...

Anyway, im rambling. The entire point of my post, was to ask if you could get the 0.7 EQLive compatible version.

OR, are you saying that only titanium is supported with 0.7.0?

Thank you.
