Patcher going down for a long time

[Barench]

Thanks Talon0202!!!! Your post on the fixeq is a god send.

As for Muuss.... Please give us more credit than you do. I found this site the day before the patcher went down. It took 6 hours to patch everquest and expansion (yes I had one of the first versions). The next day I got on and played till I got booted. Being able to run without the patcher was unclear to me.

People make mistakes... and are human, please give them some credit.

I still agree that this is Hogie's baby and he has the right to do what he likes. Bandwidth stealing is an issue, and he has the right to address it. Even so HE never called people dummies for not understanding the patch program - follow his lead.
