Hello, I'm pretty new so please don't destroy me, but I'm so lost.

1. I installed the repack but how do I create a new account? In other words, What do I do in Heidisql to insert a new account? The one provided says name schecterx but no password so I can't seem to pass the login screen without inputting a password?

2. What should my eqhost.txt be? localhost:5998? Or 127.0.0.1:5998?

P.S. In the login screen, after I click 'connect' it hangs at "Logging into the server. Please wait..." so it seems to be trying to connect somewhere.

And if you hadn't followed those instructions your current installation -may- be "busted" (as in patched, thus not able to be used to play on EQEmu servers). So a fresh installation will be in order using the above link.

It seems to be working now. Great! One little itsy bitsy thing.

I noticed the mobs in the game never miss. Is there a way to change that so it's fair? Which table would I have to edit? Thanks in advance!

Forget that last question, I figured that out, I have another question. How do I make it so that it doesn't show up in the server list? I would like to make it private because I'm not comfortable yet when other people join, (it's just family for now) Thanks in advance!

Listen, I just wanted to add that it's been 2 days now and I'm floored. I haven't had this much fun in well, decades! I've always wanted a self running Classic Everquest (before Velious) where I can play by myself or with friends and don't have to worry about camp spots and/or names being taken and/or waiting in line for choice loots.

Lastly, it's stable! No random crashes and I can login anytime without setting everything up or shutting everything down. This is what I wanted.

I can't believe all the old classic spells are just like how Project 1999 is, the graphics look just like I pictured: Bards have that blue sparkle hymn of restoration, and all the spell graphics and models are 'old' which I LOVE! Everything here eminds me of Classic EQ back in 2000 and it took minutes to setup. Only thing I tweaked was the experience rates to make it a little more accelerated but that's it.

If someone out there can figure out how to make it so I don't have to broadcast my server in public and keep it private I would be forever grateful. Thanks again!
