YOU MUST HAVE A LOGIN ACCOUNT TO USE THIS
Keep in mind that yes, if you patched to live, most people cannot set up EQEmu and play, although it is possible on 5.9. This little thing is for playing on 5.7DR6. Follow all of this, except do the following also:
(a.) Do NOT do the account authorization reset (not required for new login servers)
(b.) Edit eqhost.txt to read:
Code:
[LoginServer]
Host=login1.eqemulator.net:5995
(c.) Download scorp2k's patcher here
http://69.44.59.156/patcher.exe and then extract the files to your directory that you will use to play.
Hopefully this works for you (it has for me) and good luck.
