Holy shit, their timing couldn't have been better. I've been having this really weird urge to play lately.

Where was this, now? I'm kinda confused.

I got an email from them. I've got two accounts already. I had three, but I cancelled one of them.

And they're supposed to know who needs them exactly how?

At the bottom of the email it says:

Oh, well fine.

Well I have EQ downloaded now anyway. Not sure if I need an account yet...I know my friend had one that he doesn't use and I may be able to use that. But I didn't have the CD.

Where can you get EQW?

I had to set my display to High Color (16 Bit) for it work.

ALSO, make sure you've downloaded all the patches for EQ first... EQw bybasses the patch screen and if the files don't match, it won't work.

Change EQW shortcut.

c:\EQW\EQW.exe "c:\program files\everquest\everquest.exe"

Then it runs patcher first then EQW 2nd.

EDIT : The directory structure above is just how I do it, it'll be different for everyone.

Um... "program too big to fit into memory"

I finally fixed the "close on exit" thing and now it's giving me this? I have more memory than that....

Last I saw, EQW wasn't working properly, something about it not allowing you to use keyboard commands or somesuch. Of course, they may have updated it since last month... There are some fixes that a few folks suggested, but it seemed like a real time-sink to me

But the thing is, the stupid program seems to think there isn't enough conventional memory.

I KNOW there's enough conventional memory. To be a daredevil, I even set the minimum memory the program could use to 260.

And it STILL said that there wasn't enough.

I'm so confused.

EQW obviously hates you.

No, there is no helpful information in this post. Move along.

Yeah. I stretched wires all over my room and created a trip hazard through my door just to run a second cat5 cable to my p2 400... For Trillian and board browsing... and using Kegwen for PLing.

Full screen for me. The window is just a performance drag.
