That's right.. With 5.8DR-1 release around the corner, come try it out with your live patched client.
Here is what you need to do:
1 - Reset Authorization
First you will need to reset your "authorization". You'll need to do this only once, unless eqlive changes the key they use in the client or if you want to change your password. Point your browser to the following age to reset it.
http://www.eqemulator.net/eqresetauthrequest.php
The login/password you enter here is what you would normally enter on the loginserver. It is
not your forum account name and password.
Notice it has your IP listed. This is only needed in resetting your authorization. Once your authorization is updated, you can log in to the login server from any IP (see below).
2 - Login to EQ
First, change your eqhost.txt to:
Code:
[LoginServer]
Host=newlogin1.eqemulator.net:5996
Then you will need to log in to the login server from EQ from the same IP as you connected to the authorization reset page . This is very important. After this, what ever IP you want to connect to the login server from is fine.
3 - Enjoy 5.8DR-1
When you get to the login server, you will probably only see one server at this time, "EQEmu Official Test [Non-Legit]". Feel free to login and test it out and report bugs.
X - Running your own 5.8DR-1
Once 5.8DR-1 is released, make sure your LoginServer.ini points to the new loginserve as well:
Code:
[LoginServer]
loginserver=newlogin1.eqemulator.net
loginport=5996
This is very beta, so please let me know of any bugs with the login server. EQEmu 5.8DR-1 bugs can be reported on the forums.[/code]
