CKE PVE EQ CLASSIC server...

[Tantalar]

The server is not classic. If you want classic check out http://www.kheprigames.com/ someone needs to host that client and then we will have classic...

Tantalar, it seems that you have no understanding of either computer programming nor copyright law.

It is technically illegal to host old versions of the files, or new versions, for that matter. Which is why you a required to have a copy of titanium. Hosting any of the client files will get SoE to start sending take-down notices for copyright infringement, as you don't have the legal right to distribute their copyrighted works.

And it's not as simple as just using an older version of the emulator and database with that client version. There is a good deal of work that has gone into the emulator since then that has not been backpatched into older versions of the emulator. If you've never worked on a complex software project you're just not going to understand the sheer amount of work that would be involved.

You also want something that you're just never going to get. The past is gone, and you need to let go of it. You seem to also have a very warped view of what classic was like, and how hard it was. You are never going to find a magical time machine that will transport you back to 1999 so you can play the original game. And honestly, you seem to care more about the appearance of the UI than you do about actual faithfulness to the classic EverQuest.

I was referring more to the fact that Jenco is now apparently hosting that server, judging by the MOTD and the recognizable *GM-Impossible* tag.

www.eqclassic.org is using the old client. They are doing it. They think they can get away with it and have thousands of followers who think they can do it. They ARE doing it. I dont know if they are going to get away with it and I dont care if they are going to get away with it.

I never talked about myself hosting the old client. I talked about hosting a server like the CKV server. You twist everything that I say and then use it to attack me relentlessly and it is really fucking annoying so just stop it already. I am sick of hearing your constant bitching. If you cant go one post without bashing and or degrading me, just don't bother posting! I don't come to these forums to hear a rampant assault on me. I'm not here to harass you,attack you, and vent my frustrations about you like some immature child, so if you cant grow up then just leave.

Just because it's being done does not mean it's legal.

If you can't stand someone pointing out holes in your reasoning, then you need to find a different reality to exist in.

There have been EQ Emulator servers that have gone down because they were hosting old files.

Also, I might direct your attention to the forum rules:

Warez Is NOT Allowed
-This includes the transfer of any copyrighted material, including EQ Files and backpatches. Requesting files, even in a PM, will result in a ban.

Yes, its possible, but as stated already it infringes on the copyrights. Also would take a lot of time to actually set up a server that you are looking for. Most people have tried but ended up burning out after awhile. Only a old school server operators are still around.

I think the quickest way would be to use the PEQ release of the Luclin DB and block off the Luclin zones.

That way you'd have a little less work to do.

[edit] That and coin across the board needs to be alot less than what it is now.
