wewt lock my post but my point is clear. we use it outdated client. and u use an updated client. ill be missing things on your emu? free emu is free not me paying 15 to get everything ur emu can run each month? why not just play live? really stop for 5 mins , hit the joint / blunt / bong w/e u prefer. eq1 emu only runs on titanium no updating what so ever. thats FREE....and whos paying 40 bucks? kurnak is only 20 now. Im not here to be a dick just pointing out something im sure other ppl will agree.

Y pay sony 15 to keep up to date with ur client so we have full access of client you use??? wouldent be easyer just log in to live and play? alot less bugs etc etc.

Come on, this is getting ridiculous. I didn't even read your post. Don't be the first one banned from eq2emu forums.

Good for them for staying stuck in the past, but if you knew ANYTHING about THIS emulator you would know that multiple client versions are supported including the TSO box set and the RoK box set. So comparing that old emulator that supports 1 version to this one that supports 10 different client versions is really no comparison at all. I really don't see your point. If you are too cheap to buy the EQ2 box sets then you are too cheap to buy the eq1 box set. If you pirate the eq1 box set, you could also pirate the eq2 box set.

I locked your other thread to avoid a flame storm. If you continue this line of conversation, your posts will not be locked, but deleted. Your opinion is noted. Debate is fine, but making broad statements about stuff just to stir up controversy is not.

Don't play on our servers. Simple as that. While you're at it, delete the bookmark to our website if it'll help.

Edit:

Just in case anyone else is wondering, the reason you pay Sony $15 to stay updated is because it is not legal to acquire any revision of the software that is not currently maintained by SOE. You cannot back-patch, you cannot torrent, you cannot get it from your buddy (as far as the LAW is concerned, in any country).

This project is not intended to take customers away from SOE by "emulating" the perfect, live gaming experience. Your logic is flawed, immature, and un-educated, and your posts nearly impossible for a grown up to take seriously. Had you a clue what you are talking about, you would understand what any emulator's true purpose is; a challenge to savvy hobbyist developers to "see if they can do it", that's it. If this weren't fun or challenging, none of us would be doing it.

And fwiw,

...forum started 2 years ago, and you are the first person to have a problem with this. I think we're pretty safe continuing our efforts as is.

I got my client for the 12 bucks it cost for 1 month of play + remembering to not patch above what was the highest supported version

I think the original poster completely misses why a lot of people play with emulators. While some do it because it's cheap a lot of others do it because: It's fun, recreating the world or creating your own is a lot of fun for the people into that. For others it's getting the server to work as well as possible or as close to it's commercial counterpart as possible that's fun. I doubt many of the people are here because they want to save a buck. At least that's my opinion on the matter and why I still work with eq1 emu, and follow eq2 emu secretly.

But then again maybe I'm just weird.

Summed up perfectly. Thanks, KLS

One bad apple, shrug.

Blizzard honestly couldn't care less i bet. They still have over 6 million people on their servers. and the private servers, don't get me started there's so many i couldn't count. Blizzard didn't make it harder by putting each individual patch ON their website. But just in case to trap MORE people if they try to report a website, each private server puts up an agreement that says that if ur from blizzard you can't go on or u get sued (ironic). If you do that anyway, then blizzard will ban you for going on a private server.

LMAO that's just completely screwed up and completely hilarious.
Bets that blizzard is allowing private servers for the purpose that they make money if someone buys the games from a store and the upgrades...starting at $20

If only SoE did it like blizzard and there would be NO problems rofl...
ah...EQ2 private servers and WoW private servers, life is perfect

Anyone who actually thinks putting a intro/agreement page on an internationally available webpage means they are somehow legally bound by those rules, is either 12 years old, an idiot, or both. Good luck suing anyone, especially Blizzard, kiddies.

Just my 2cp on that

I can't believe I missed this post...oh my. Not that anyone should help you but, there is this tool I wrote...to grab the latest Live client. Somehwere in the 3rd Party Tools sub-forum...has a very appealing name..

Actually, EQEmu runs both Titanium and Secrets of Faydwer box sets. Yes, you can get them from off the internet, but don't be mistaken that they are free. Even on the EQEmu website it says you have to PURCHASE your own box set.

However, this isn't EQEmu. It's a whole new completely different game altogether (just uses the same game world setting). Just like EQEmu, you must PURCHASE your own box sets (I bought RoK myself), and the 3rd party tools only work for people who have PURCHASED their own clean installment. Unlike EQEmu, where they say 'buy and don't patch', this emulator encourages you to patch so that you get the latest compatibility.

I know we all are having money difficulties in this time of resession, but even $20 isn't a whole lot. If you really want to play, I'd like to encourage you to get a newspaper route for a few weeks, mow some yards, rake some leaves, walk some dogs, save your allowance, whatever means you can think of to save some money here and there (I myself put £5 a week aside for a whole month to afford RoK). You may have to wait longer than having it NOW NOW NOW, but it'll be worth the wait because the Emu isn't even complete yet, and in say a month from now, even more things will be complete

Arremis, do not be mistaken, this thread is 2 years old. The recession was not really in effect at that time (in certain countries). In any case, I just cannot believe the ignorance on the original poster, it is too bad this thread was not deleted altogether.

Doh! I didn't realize it had been resurrected from the dead...maybe I'm just over opinionated...or maybe more full of myself than I thought...we probably need an Archive section...or probably should delete these useless posts that contribute nothing to the advancement of the project...you'll have to excuse me...I stopped smoking 3 days ago...maybe that's what's causing my irrationality lately...hmmm...

Gratz on quitting smoking...hope you kick it

I did 25 years ago...one of the best things I've done

Funny, link2009 bumps a 2 year old thread, then gives you lip about responding to a 2 year old thread
