Mine worked right away.

Make a folder C:\EQMac\ and put all the files from a FRESH copy of EQ Titanium there, not a copy that has P99 files and such in it already. Make sure all the EQ files and subfolders are going right into C:\EQMac\, not C:\EQMac\EQTitanium\ etc.

Download the patch from http://www.2shared.com/file/DmtWSdX6...Edition-v.html and copy + replace all files from that folder to your C:\EQMac\ folder.

Go to https://lp.soe.com/eqmac/live/ and login with a station username and password. This downloads the ACTUAL EQMac client to your computer. When the patch bar is complete, go to the little double white gears button (lower left on the patch window) to open options. Click "Open Game Directory". Check your task bar, it should have opened "EverQuest Mac" folder where it saved the files. In that folder go to Content > Resources folder, copy EVERYTHING, all files and folders, inside the Resources folder. Paste them into your C:\EQMac\ folder, overwrite anything it asks to, merge folders when it asks, etc.

Make sure you put both the Secrets patch and the EverQuest Mac resources files in the main C:\EQMac\ directory, not any subfolders contained in it. Then from C:\EQMac\ run eqw.exe - everything should be set correctly, but just in case make sure "Fix eqclient.ini" is checked. Nothing else should be. Hit Start EQ.

When I go to that link, it loads a blank grey box with an everquest logo above it and some account management links at the bottom. Am I missing something?

This happened on my laptop a couple times. Either try exiting out of the client completely and reloading the game to see if it fixes itself (it did for me), or, try going back to the initial login screen to the Options button. Change your game resolution on the tab to the lowest setting possible and log into the game. Then hit alt+o to bring up options and go to the video tab to change the resolution to whatever you'd like from there.

Pretty sure I'm giving up on playing bard here unless I find someone to level with early on. PBAoE kiting is pretty fucked with random pathing, mobs warping on top of you and server latency issues. Hard to pass up on a Fading Memories bard puller later on though.

Why would a legit live server have issues? Is it not hosted by sony with the rest of the servers or something?

If I went it would be as much for the clean pathing, pulling at distance and having mobs path to you instead of warp (for some reason with the classes I've been playing lately this one has been getting on my nerves a bit...a lot), and all the perfect little details you can't really expect from a emu. And actual AoE kiting as it was, not what you can "work," basicly.

Am I correct in gettting the impression that this server is basicly an EMU at this point?

I would really like to try and play there but it's not worth buying a mac.

That's the thing...I said before I would wait and get a mac, but if it's basicly a Sony supported EMU that has all of the problems of an EMU, why bother? Even if you wanted to get a mac, you would be crazy not to go check it out on PC first before making that investment if there are known issues. Lack of development and support for a server like that I can understand, but performance issues that break bards? On a live server now?

Besides the era, being on a live server with the polish and performance that should bring is half the point, no? I say this as a current paying subscriber to EverQuest.

I've only gotten to level 6 as a bard, so I can't offer a lot in the way of criticism for the server. However as I did say in my previous post, I'm experiencing significant server-side latency issues that spikes up only when I start pulling multiple NPCs for an AoE kite. And I'm not talking half of a zone, maybe 5-10 mobs at a time. This results in mobs randomly jumping closer to you than perceived mid-circle, which will mean certain death at higher levels. This was happening in four different zones for me.

Is this normal for Mac users? Could it have something to do with being on a Windows machine using a hacked copy of EQ Titanium to connect? Is there a Trojan in the patch files so that Secrets can see what kind of porn I'm viewing late at night? I have no idea. I tried asking some higher level bards if they had difficulty PBAoE kiting but they all seemed to be using charm and chants instead.

If you're on a PC look in the Eqmac folder find the datarate.txt....Open it up i think it's set at 5.0 make it 9.0

Just attempted this, didn't seem to do anything. The right side of the latency bar (server-side?) is still jumping to over 1500 during kites. Just got gibbed by a pack of 8 orc centurions. On top of this, they're still seeming to "warp" on top of me at random intervals. The strange part of it being that not all of them do it, only 1-3 at a time, whereas the rest of the kite seems to stay where they should.

I am confuse. Also, fuck the fog in gfay.
