Q. How do I make a player account?
A. Go here
Q. How do I make a server account?
A. Go here
Q. I get this window when I click on my character info or other button while in game using the DoV client.
A. Rename / Back up your UI folder,
Download this UI and use it instead.
Q. I can't move my "Bottomless Bag of Envy" window, (The huge backpack alpha testers start off with), the backpack is too large to fit on my screen and I can't access the top to move it.
A. Move your mouse to the side of the backpacks window until you see the arrow which allows you to make the window wider. Drag the window much wider than it is (20 slots wide probably works) then right click on the window. Select Window settings and then click on the default location button. This will move the window further down in the screen. From there you can adjust the window size to your liking.
Q. I downloaded the EQ2 trial but I can't connect?
A. The emulator only works on retail copies of the game. Go out and purchase a real copy of this awesome game and you will be able to play on the emulator.
Q. I logged in but all I can do is run around, and there are no npc's or items or zone points etc...
A. The Emulator is currently in Open Alpha stage. At this point, most of the game will not work because it has not been coded into the server yet. You will just have to be patient and wait until a more stable and complete version is released.
Q. Ok, how long will that take or when will this feature be added.
A. It will be done when it is done. The emulator development is moving at a remarkable pace and the devs are doing an excellent job, however this does not mean that it will be completed within a week and it will certianly not get done any faster if devs spend all their time answering posts about when a certain feature will be added.
Q. Is there anything I can do to help out or to make the project move along any faster?
A. This is really more a question that the devs should be answering, However, I have seen that they have been asking for help on the forums to find some of the equations used in the game. They also need people to collect packets from the live server.
You can find detailed instructions on how to do this here
Q. I'm trying to connect to a server but I keep getting stuck at 'Connecting to zone server.'
A. Most servers are not properly port forwarded, thus your client cannot connect to that specific server. Try connecting to the other servers in the list, or if all fails, host your own.
Q. Any chance of a few progress bars?
A. It is nearly impossible to formulate a "progress bar" for things which you have no idea where the end may be. Content, for instance... we do not know exactly how many spawns are in one zone, and with there being dozens of aspects to a single spawn, how would you gauge 0-100% completion? You cannot.
More to come...
