woooo

EQEmulauncher up to date. ..

Monk weight limit is now only 14 stones? Damn. When does that get changed to a per-level basis again?

I really wish wizards could crit.

Would happen while I was at the Crypt camp! Sigh.

I'll admit in advance that I'am a newb to all this.
So my big question is, do I just unzip EQ Changes V10 into my EQ folder and replace the old files? It just sounded too simple O.o

Cheers~

you do the same with it that you did to the previous V whatever changes zip when you installed ... or you use the EQEmulauncher and it will automaticly update your spell files and keep them up todate if you keep starting EQ with it ... so never have to worry about spell files anymore ...

Im sad...

Yep just override those files in the EQ folder.
