Main EQemu page says titanium or SoF....this server seems to only work with Titanium. I'm trying to use SoF, until told otherwise I'm assuming this is the issue. I'll try other server(s), but this would be my first choice, by far.....

Any plans on getting SoF working with classic? As of a couple days ago, i saw Titanium going for 87.00+ while SoF was ~30.00.

SoF used to work (somewhat) and they disabled it. I really doubt they're going to reverse that.

[ErrantOne]

thanks for the info.

Yes, it's SoF that seems to be the issue for p99, as I was able to adventure on a couple other servers. One was lame enough to give out a full set of fear armor and other goodies at level 1.

Getting a real copy of titanium is just a bit to expensive and getting it from 'other' means (as suggested in another post) is not an option for me.

Why not? Most of us bought this game 15 years ago anyway. I doubt it's illegal.

It's always an option.
