Too late for an edit, but that was directed at everyone - I'm astonished at the manpower poured into this over a relatively small amount of time - thank you everyone!

I want to say thank you to every one of the devs working on this right now. I grabbed the download from steam and am very thankful that you guys are working so hard on this. Keep up the good work you guys!

Where does Steam save Seeds of Destruction so I can do backup, or do I just use the steam backup wizard ?

I found it here: C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\everquest

Yes that is the location. You can move the directory to where you want it or back it up however you want to. I backed mine up to a couple of DVDs to make it easy to install again if I ever need to.

Bought SoD off Steam for $2.50 last night and finished download this morning.

I downloaded the server code from SVN and compiled the server and EQEmuLoginServer. My existing PEQ database was still the same revision so I left my SQL alone.

Booted up the server and EQEmuLoginServer, booted up the SoD client and connected to localhost on port 5999. Everything went smooth. The SoD client saw my server and I was able to make a new character and load into the tutorial zone, no crashes or disconnects.

World.exe did spit out a bunch of [Debug] [WORLD__CLIENT_ERR] messages, but nothing that caused a crash or disconnect.

I haven't ran the server for very long but so far it is looking absolutely superb!

This might not help much, I am still fairly fresh behind the ears when it comes to compiling and running an EQ server, so I have to say if *I* was able to get it up and running without any trouble that must mean something!

Since it is a digital download, that means you will be able to get it instantly instead of having to wait for it to come in the mail. I highly recommend making a copy of the install folder somewhere on your harddrive (or burn it to a DVD) so you will have a backup in case you mess the client up or need to install it fresh again at some point.

I downloaded it off steam and backed up the install dir to a DVD...now how do I get this game on another PC with these 2 DVDs I made? I don't want to hook up to STEAM to play this.

All you need to do is copy the install folder to your other PC where ever you want it and then create the shortcut to eqgame.exe like normal. Everquest doesn't require anything special like registry entries or anything like some applications need, it just needs to have the install folder there and you can start it up right away. It is very easy to move the install around because of this
