No worries, you aren't the first that has been confused by that page and the links not working.

Someone with powers should fix that :)

Host=eqemulator.net:5998

Save that file.

Now create a shortcut to your desktop (this part is important).
Just right-click your desktop, select New, Select Shortcut.
The first page will ask for the path of the file, put:

Quote:

"c:\program files\sony\everquest\eqgame.exe" patchme

Then, next, next, finish.

Now, double-chick this new shortcut, and log in with the username and password that you created on the EQEmulator.net's Login Server, and choose the server near the top of the list called "Project 1999". '

and you're in.

Welcome to Project 1999

Next, go to http://www.eqemulator.net/forums and make a forum account. After you make your forum account, click on User CP (Top Left), then click "Login Server" (at the bottom left, under Miscellaneous), then click "Create New LS Account" - this is the username and password that you will use to log into the game.

Once you have it installed, you need to edit the "eqhost.txt" file inside the C:\Program Files\Sony\Everquest folder (just open it with Notepad).

change it to say:

Save that file.

Welcome to Project 1999

It all worked until I got to the character selection screen. When I got there it said I was missing spell files and that I needed to get them from the getting started page. I went to the getting started thread and tried to download the EQEmu Launcher because it says it installs the required files for Project 1999 but the page isn't loading. Do you, or anyone else, know where another mirror for the EQEmu Launcher is?

Just paste those into your EQ directory.

You'll need to download the patch files for the game and install them. Whenever there's a patch it gets put in the Announcements with a link to download the new patch files.
Here's a link to the latest patch announcement.
http://www.project1999.org/forums/sh...ad.php?t=98761

You'll want to extract the zip into C:\Program Files\Sony\Everquest and overwrite all files.

Thank you to everyone for the help.

EDIT: Weird. After I replaced the spell files a whole different list of servers is on the server list and I can't find the Project 1999 ones.

My other question is where is this server hosted? It would suck if I downloaded the game only to find out I have 200ms.

200 ms should be fine on the pve server. i know euros with 200 ping that play on the red (pvp server) quite fine.

Also very jealous you get to learn this game from scratch. Been playing 10 years on and off for the most part and my best memories are also being level 15, and not knowing much at all about eq.

- what i mean is its not like learning to play wow, and learning the areas. Imo its a whole nother ball game of exploration fun.

also use this website for maps
http://www.classiceq.com/eqatlas/

heres a latout of zone connections for classic and kunark (first expansion)
http://www.classiceq.com/eqatlas/eantonicamap.html east part of world
http://www.classiceq.com/eqatlas/santonicamap.html southern part
http://www.classiceq.com/eqatlas/wantonicamap.html western part

kunark -
http://www.classiceq.com/eqatlas/kunarkzones.html

Once you find a zone and want to look at the creatures and thier loot tables use this -
http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/zone.html?mode=bymap

Not classic but for the most part you can find old zones that were not revamped later that still have somewhat usefull info. I used to read this site all day in school.

also if you didnt know creatures are labeled as NPC (non player character) and are meant to be killed. Sorry if you allready knew that.

I'd never have dared to stray off the path, who knew what could be lurking there :p

I remember when I finally got my human Ranger from Qeynos area all the way to EC. It was nighttime and I came on a Troll SK and a DE necro killing the guards. I shit myself, hid behind the inn, and hoped they wouldn't see me and kill me too.

You can't recreate that feeling.
