EQ Installation Instructions

Setup Instruction
1. Acquire and install a copy of Everquest Titanium Edition. It must be the Titanium Edition. No substitutes will be accepted. The server is setup for that version alone. If you get another YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PLAY.

2. Acquire an EQEmu login account from their site. They will require you to make an account on their forum first but that's just a formality. Follow this link to make your forum account: EQEmulator Forum Registration. Once your forum account is setup, follow this link to make your EQEmu account: EQEmu Login Server Registration. Remember, your EQEmu login server account is the account you will use to login to Everquest. It is different from your EQEmu forum account.

3. Modify your desktop shortcut. Just right click on the Everquest shortcut on your desktop and select properties. Change the Target field to say:

"C:\Program Files\Sony\EverQuest\eqgame.exe" patchme

It must read exactly as stated with quotes around the path and patchme outside of the quotes. Click OK to save the setting.

4. Open the file, "C:\Program Files\Sony\EverQuest\eqhost.txt". Delete everything and change it to read:

[LoginServer]

Host=eqemulator.net:5998

Don't forget to save the file. This will make the game connect to EQEmu's global server and show you all the free servers running with their system.

5. Always use the shortcut you modified to start the game. If you don't, the game might connect to SOE and patch and you will be unable to connect to our server. If the game ever starts to patch, you have done something wrong and you should close it immediately.

6. Download the Classic Client Patch and unzip it into your Everquest installation directory. This is a client patch which enables some custom content from Angelox.
