Steam has 50 percent off sale ....

Interesting ...

The Underfoot client seems to have support for HoT zones in it. I only tried thulehouse1, thulehouse2, thuledream, somium and morellcastle, but I assume it supports them all.

You need to copy the zone etc. files over from a Live client, along with ancilliary model files (e.g. rdg.eqg has the model for the Rotdog fearstalker in thulehouse1).

So even though the EQEmu support for the current Live client is extremely limited, it would be possible for someone to create a fully playable HoT server, if:

1) They populate their DB with HoT data.
2) The players have the Underfoot client and access to a Live account to copy over the required HoT files to their Underfoot directory.

Obviously the new features in the real HoT client wouldn't be available, but the zones/mob models would be.

LOL, Ya, and here's me, thinking I saved a few bucks, when I could of done
it that way. (I already had a live account and UF). But, that could help a
few people knowing that

I know this thread is old, but with the holidays approaching, and perhaps also with the new expansion, if anyone sees any sales or discounts particularly on Underfoot, could you please post them.

I am going to keep my eye on Steam and I'll give you a heads up. (I remember when SoD went on sale for $2.50 and I am hopeful for something like that again.)

Might want to double check and see if they update before they put anything on sale. As of 11/14/11 things were updated bc of the new expansion. This is the latest from sony as current today.

Does the updated version of the Underfoot client still work with emu servers? I was going to grab that client tonight.

Yes, the most recent version of UF (as of 2 weeks ago) works fine.
