*EDIT* But I still have this problem *EDIT*

Could this be due to Step 2? Also if you scroll down all the way to the end of the guide, you will see where Cadimiom tells me to Download and install "zlib.dll" into the folder where the World.exe is. I did so and still got the same error. I am thinking it has something to do with Step 2, but I can not seem to get it working at this time. Any help with that would be nice. Also, I do not believe that I have to have RoK installed for it to work. I re-read the guide several times, and nowhere did it say anything about it. Just said that it would patch itself.. sort of a DB patch vs. client patch, you know? Any help, any at all would be wonderful...
Thanks, in advance, to those that help.
