New to 1999

[Polosport05]

Hey guys, I heard about this server through some friends in another game the other night. I was curious if there is any way I can get the ball rolling on here without having a copy of the original kunark CD's on hand?

If you search the forum you can easily find an answer for this, but here's the short version: if you talk to your pirate friends, over at their bay, you just might find a copy of EverQuest Titanium (which is the version you need).

P.S. Welcome :)

This lovely server requires EQ:Titanium Edition (http://www.amazon.com/Everquest-Titanium-Pc/dp/B000CPSHFS). You should look around for it.

Unequivocally, This Online Remerged Rendition of Everquest, Necessitates The
Installation of Simply the
Best Edition, Specifically, Titanium

Yaaarr.... I live to dress as a PIRATE in order to keep the evil spirits at BAY. I also enjoy eatting ORGanic applesauce for lunch.

If you SEARCH FOR EVERQUEST TITANIUM long enough you will find it.

Playing classic Everquest
is
really
amazing, however
there is definately some setup involved.
eventually, though, you'll
be running
around antonica
yelling "That's my mob! Ihad the first
dot
on it! and
raging about killsteals and
ganking.

*** By requst via personal mesage, I offer the step by step directions a friend provided to me when I first joined the server.

Die hard gamer... but I never download anything from jack sparrow much less anywhere else. I just tried to create an account on there and they wanted my CC info and such. hints the reason I stay clear of sights like that.

[loramin]

You have good web security instincts, but you don't need to create an account at all: just search for whatever (totally legal, of course) software you want, click the magnet link, tell your bit torrent client to go ahead, and you're set. You can trust that the file you are downloading is safe by:
A) virus scanning it
B) trusting the wisdom of the crowds; with bit torrent, you need people seeding for it to work, and if someone discovers that a file has a virus, they won't seed it

If you still don't feel comfortable, there's always EBay, but remember you need Titanium specifically (and it won't be cheap).

[Lyra]

Part of my handy dandy instructions say "Dont click on anything else on the website" and even more detail regarding your concerns.

[Polosport05]

I don't even have a bit torrent client, haha. I am so computer illiterate.

[loramin]

I'm mainly a Linux user, but when I'm on Windows I use the (free) uTorrent client. Just google for it, install it, then go click that magnet link.

Dude you are part of a huge mass of people (myself included) that find getting into the game a huge obstacle because we are not crafty with computers lol.

I still havent started playing because i view it as a headache. I have been trying to get the developers to make a comprehensive, idiot proof guide for setup for over 2 years.

I think there are legal issues that hinder that from happening.

lots of people will help you out here though so dont get discouraged, its apparently real easy once its explained.

[loramin]

I have been trying to get the developers to make a comprehensive, idiot proof guide for setup for over 2 years.

This is happening: Derbuai put out the call for just such a guide, and I answered. It's basically done and I'm just waiting for feedback from him right now. Once I get that the guide will be put on the wiki and in a stickied thread here.

It WON'T however cover the downloading part (for obvious reasons), but it will cover stuff like using virtual disk software to load the ISOs.

[NextGenesis88]

You don't need to be computer savvy. Just follow their simple directions they just stated. Download program - install program - go to website to search what you want - click magnet link - Program will open - Accept. Typing and clicking.. I think you have already proven capable. :P

[NextGenesis88]

simply talking of titanium edition of a linux distro that may exist. I could be wrong :P

There doesn't need to be a guide on how to get an EQ client. Should they really need to tell people how to get a copy of a game? There are only a few ways to do so and I think most people can figure them out. It's not rocket surgery.

That would be cool if it was true; I haven't been having much luck getting it working on my Linux install. If nothing else, I could at least use it as a reference ...

What's easy for one person isn't necessarily for another. And the guide doesn't cover getting the client, just installing it (using virtual disks).

[Polosport05]

DOWNLOADED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now to install...

[Polosport05]

I now cant seem to get it installed right...

[Lyra]

You didn't message me for my wonderful instructions :(

You have to ask via PM if you would like them.

I don't have part two up yet to get you set up the rest of the way, but if you follow the Wiki you should be able to get yourself onto P99. If you click the "show more" under the video description there's a link to two different virtual drive softwares, the one I use is the top one, but both are fine and if you look at the guide you can get the general gist of how to use either of them.

[Polosport05]

Thanks for the video post.. ive gotten that far haha! im at the part where you have to rename the Patch file and its not allowing me to

[Polosport05]

[NextGenesis88]

Funny that I randomly ended up helping you after I already was trying to help in your thread and I am just realizing. Glad I could help! <3 the big fat troll who died in Misty and sent back to Karanas twice because he's a tired derp. But damn, I still can't get over how lucky I got with that first instant-rez. But yeah, if anyone wants to go admire my corpse until I get it feel free. Newbies be like oOo let me get dat spikey red helm off dat fatty~

[Polosport05]
