At least you're actually asking. Most people just assume then they end up on PEQ whining about how every spell has "Magician (255)" next to it. lol

No you will not. The files you overwrite here won't be compatible with other EQEmu servers. whenever you make a modification to ANYTHING in an EQ client it is highly recommended you make a backup of the files for exactly that purpose and also in case something fucks up. I keep folders with the default files as well as the server specific files and anytime i switch i copy the default ones in, overwrite, then copy the server's files in and overwrite to make sure everything is fully transitioned.

Also I would recommend if at all possible that you use SoD or Underfoot (preferable Underfoot) for any server that is NOT Project 1999, as the Titanium client is complete and utter shit.

I wish I had known that before I spent eighteen dollars on the box copy.


Also; thank you for clearing this up for me. I did run into the other servers. And the hidden forest one was garbage. They had NPC's everywhere that could buff and max you out so hard. One guy did a quest where your meditate instantly jumped to 200.

I felt like it was cheating. I've never played EverQuest before today, so I really want the EverQuest feeling. But I was upset when I noticed that P99 doesn't have Frogloks... One race I really wanted to play as. XD

Any validity behind what Flunklesnarkin had to say?

Yes he's correct it does do that. Although (at least as of the last time I used it. I don't use it haha) it can only patch you're client if the server dev of said server uploaded it's files to the EQEmu patcher and I don't have a list off hand on who that is. I prefer to, and feel safer, just doing everything manually but that's just me lol. Flunkle is correct though.

And yeah not every server will be good. Tbh the only ones i can stand are P99, PEQ and Storm Haven. The only one i actually despise though is EZ server. If THF made you upset EZ server will make you want to kill kittens while dressed as a dwarf wearing a flower dress.

Then I guess I'll just stick around for the P99 server. Cause I have no idea where to even start backing up the files. I'd just .rar the whole thing and hope for the best.

I really appreciate your help. I don't know what I'm going to play, though. Cause I had my heart set on a Froglok Paladin.

I just don't want to start alone.

Also, I didn't see PEQ or Storm Haven on the list that EQEmu brought up.

>Dwarf in a red dress. Not the worst mental image I've had.

eq is not installed in Windows like other programs. You may drag and drop as you please.

Simply copy your eq file to another location and use the second file for other servers like tgc. (you still have to ensure each file is correct for each server).

Have a separate shortcut for the other server.

This is what I do, I have an Everquest folder, then I have another named EQ99 I copied from the original, that I played project 99 out of.
