Yeah.

After much installing, I finally managed to log in with my character. Once....during which time I accidentally ran out into a lake, couldn't figure out how to swim up, drowned, and then crashed. Then almost every time I try to play again, I go to the "server list", click play....it says "scanning world servers", and then I click play again and again and again, until it says "submitting character", and then it usually crashes, but if not, it takes me to my character list, where I can choose my character, and THEN it crashes.

I'm sure it'll be worth it though, EQ was awesome, but...yeah, the server seems to resent me for some reason.

Server had a little hiccup yesterday, you might have had bad timing. Try again today.

Still not getting passed the charecter creation. I downloaded the default UI and unzipped it (both are in my everquest folder). It still gives me the same message-- that my client has crashed.

Make sure you guys have installed ze hotfix.

It sounds stupidly simple, but I was having similar problems. Turns out, I'd forgotten to install the hotfix. I repatched EQLive, hotfixed, installed the maps, and patched WR, and it worked.

That's just plain weird. Manually move the charcreate file from there into uifiles/default then.

I don't know how, but you HAVE fucked up applying the fix files. Do this. Grab WRfix.zip. Unzip it to c:\fix or something. C&P the "help" folder from there into /Everquest/. C&P the "default" folder from there into Everquest/uifiles.

No, just one char at a time. Alot of people are finding that unequiping certain items removes the zoning bug, others find that turning off their firewall fixes it. I havent found a fix that works for me yet.

1) Check that you're using our version of EQw.
2) Manually apply fix as described above.

How's the soloability of WR?

Lately, I haven't really had the time for MMO groups, which has severely limited me on games I can play. I can really only play for a few hours at a time most days.

Have you improved EQ's solo game on WR? If I could log on for just a few hours at a time and actually be able to accomplish things, then I might just give it a try.

Would be nice to see how EQ looks now that I have a machine that can kick its ass. I've never been able to play EQ before at full settings.

I was in the Virgin Islands once. I met a girl, we ate lobster, drank piña coladas. At sunset, we made love like sea otters. That was a pretty good day. Why couldn't I get that day over, and over?

It seems to me that most classes can solo more, but even if you can't, you can dual-client. Just make another account. So long as you aren't playing more than two characters at the same time, it's okay.

quote:
No more than two clients are allowed to be played by the same person at the same time. Different computers or the same does not matter. You are allowed to dual-client/comp, you are just not allowed to tri-client/comp. So you can play a warrior and a cleric at the same time, but you cannot play a warrior, a cleric and a paladin at the same time. You may of course play a warrior, cleric and paladin and alternate between which two you play at the same time. We do not care that you simply logged your enchanter in to buff the other two characters for a minute - you will be equally harshly punished. If you are multiple people playing from the same IP, you may play up to two characters each at the same time - what matters is how many PEOPLE are playing the characters, not how many characters are being played from the same IP.

Soloability doesn't much matter, as you can just dual-client.

Solo classes can solo very well. Gimpy-solo classes can solo decently.

Group-required classes can solo, but it won't be as good as DCing the two or grouping.

Updated char info. Three more levels, and I can dual-weild! ^_^

Where/what level are you guys? I need to find some people to group with. I can solo single dark-blues, but not having bandages (and not having money for bandages ) is really slowing me down. The only reason I'm not DCing a cleric with my warrior is because, honestly, it can be a little difficult. Especially if you're fighting wandering mobs in open areas.
