Mine worked right away.

Make a folder C:\EQMac\ and put all the files from a FRESH copy of EQ Titanium there, not a copy that has P99 files and such in it already. Make sure all the EQ files and subfolders are going right into C:\EQMac\, not C:\EQMac\EQTitanium\ etc.

Download the patch from http://www.2shared.com/file/DmtWSdX6...Edition-v.html and copy + replace all files from that folder to your C:\EQMac\ folder.

Go to https://lp.soe.com/eqmac/live/ and login with a station username and password. This downloads the ACTUAL EQMac client to your computer. When the patch bar is complete, go to the little double white gears button (lower left on the patch window) to open options. Click "Open Game Directory". Check your task bar, it should have opened "EverQuest Mac" folder where it saved the files. In that folder go to Content > Resources folder, copy EVERYTHING, all files and folders, inside the Resources folder. Paste them into your C:\EQMac\ folder, overwrite anything it asks to, merge folders when it asks, etc.

Make sure you put both the Secrets patch and the EverQuest Mac resources files in the main C:\EQMac\ directory, not any subfolders contained in it. Then from C:\EQMac\ run eqw.exe - everything should be set correctly, but just in case make sure "Fix eqclient.ini" is checked. Nothing else should be. Hit Start EQ.

This happened on my laptop a couple times. Either try exiting out of the client completely and reloading the game to see if it fixes itself (it did for me), or, try going back to the initial login screen to the Options button. Change your game resolution on the tab to the lowest setting possible and log into the game. Then hit alt+o to bring up options and go to the video tab to change the resolution to whatever you'd like from there.

Pretty sure I'm giving up on playing bard here unless I find someone to level with early on. PBAoE kiting is pretty fucked with random pathing, mobs warping on top of you and server latency issues. Hard to pass up on a Fading Memories bard puller later on though.

Why would a legit live server have issues? Is it not hosted by sony with the rest of the servers or something?

If I went it would be as much for the clean pathing, pulling at distance and having mobs path to you instead of warp (for some reason with the classes I've been playing lately this one has been getting on my nerves a bit...a lot), and all the perfect little details you can't really expect from a emu. And actual AoE kiting as it was, not what you can "work," basicly.

Am I correct in gettting the impression that this server is basicly an EMU at this point?

Are they going to get rid of the PC hack?

I would really like to try and play there but it's not worth buying a mac.

[Weekapaug]

That's the thing...I said before I would wait and get a mac, but if it's basicly a Sony supported EMU that has all of the problems of an EMU, why bother? Even if you wanted to get a mac, you would be crazy not to go check it out on PC first before making that investment if there are known issues. Lack of development and support for a server like that I can understand, but performance issues that break bards? On a live server now?

Besides the era, being on a live server with the polish and performance that should bring is half the point, no? I say this as a current paying subscriber to EverQuest.

It's free, and it doesn't have nearly as many issues as this EMU.

Pathing and other shit are much, MUCH better there.

My main issue back in the day was the mouse look is dogshit and I couldn't get it to work better.
