Public Servers, Private Servers, and Server Types

Those with accounts on EQ2Emulator will be able to access your server directly from the public loginserver. This means you can focus on your world development, and not accounts as well as hosting a loginserver alongside your world server. Private Servers This is a server that is hosted by you and your world connects to the Minilogin hosted by you. No one can access your server unless you give them the info to connect to it. Private servers must keep up with their own user accounts. Server types What type of player base your server has will depending on what type of server you have.
