EQEmuLauncher not showing servers.

[wwoneo]

My EQEmuLauncher is not displaying the servers, and I'm afraid of opening my EQ client directly because I've been told that I'd have to reinstall the whole thing if it started to patch for live. What do I do?

Right-click the play button, select launch Everquest only.

In the future use the search function in the forums as this has been beaten to death.

It really has. There's also two FAQ's on this exact forum that explain how to deal with this issue, both are stickied.

None of which solves the issue.

The issue isn't P99 related. If the EQEmuLauncher cannot generate a server list, run the "eqgame.exe" file that you generated when you developed your P99 Everquest directory. If you need instructions on how to do this, please follow these steps:

I swear sometimes the EQEmuLauncher is more trouble than its worth. And I can't believe all the information regarding setting up P99 without the Launcher has been removed...

Here goes:
1) Default install of EQ: Titanium (other clients will NOT work). Copy/pasting the EQ folder from another install works just fine here. (For consistency, I'm going to assume you installed EQ to C:\Everquest so that the eqgame.exe path is C:\Everquest\eqgame.exe.)
2) Right-click on the eqgame.exe icon within your everquest folder, select Create Shortcut.
3) Right-click on the Shortcut to eqgame.exe you created in step (2). Select Properties.
4) In the Properties menu that appears, edit the target line to say "C:\EverQuest\eqgame.exe" patchme. The quotes are only needed around the destination string if it contains spaces. Select Apply and then OK to close the properties box.
5) Open the C:\Everquest\eqhost.txt file in the text editor of your choice.
6) Delete whatever is in the eqhost.txt file and replace it with the following two lines:
[LoginServer]
Host=login.eqemulator.net:5998
7) Save and close the eqhost.txt file.
8) Download the latest eqchangesvXX.zip file from the patch notes. As of this post, we are on v27, found here.
9) Extract the eqchangesvXX.zip file into the C:\Everquest directory, overwriting any files it asks for.
10) Within the C:\Everquest directory, delete the following files to allow these updated zones to function properly on P99:
arena.eqg
arena_EnvironmentEmitters.txt
lavastorm.eqg
nektulos.eqg
Nektulos_EnvironmentEmitters.txt
11) Log into the server with the account you created at EQEmulator.org.
12) Select Project1999: The Ruins of Kunark from the server list.
13) Enjoy playing on P99.

As the stickied FAQ for the EQEmuLauncher states:

15. EQEmuLauncher and EQEmulator.org - The launcher is a third party standalone program which uses the eqemulator.org website to get the server list. Other than that, there is no connection between those two and I do not support EQEmulator.org nor do they support the launcher.

aka - YOU DO NOT NEED THE EQEMULAUNCHER TO RUN P99.

How does it feel that no matter how many times you copy and paste a sticky thread it doesn't solve the issue that prevents many from playing.

This is bigger than all of us.
