Step 1 - Client
You MUST have either Everquest: Titanium Edition or Everquest: Secrets of Faydwer (Fresh install, no patching) in order to play on Flame of Chaos. We cannot supply this, therefor you need to get it yourself.
Step 2 - Forum Account
If you have not already done so, you will need to register an account with the EQEmulator Forums. Click the "Register" link at the top left of the page. Follow the prompts that are displayed and enter the required information: username, password, email address, etc. Make sure you use a valid email address as your new account needs to be verified.
Step 3 - Login Server Account
You will now need to create a Login Server account that you will use log into the EQEmulator Loginserver. Please go to the Login Server page (located under Miscellaneous in your UserCP). Select "Create a LS Account∞." Fill out the fields and proceed.
Step 4 - EQHost.txt File
In order for your client to connect to the EQEmulator Login Server (and not SOE's EQLive Login Server), you will need to change your eqhost.txt file to point at the correct location. Go into your EverQuest directory and locate the eqhost.txt file. Replace the contents of the file with the following (Remove any trailing spaces):
[LoginServer]
Host=eqemulator.net:5998
Step 5 - Create a Shortcut
Now, you will need to create a shortcut to launch EverQuest and bypass the EQLive patcher (if this step is not taken, you will launch the patcher and overwrite the EQHost.txt file that you just modified, making you connect to the global EQLive Login Server). To do this, go into your EverQuest directory. Locate the EQGAME.EXE file. Right-click on the file and select "Create Shortcut." You can rename this shortcut and drag it anywhere you'd like (most people like to put it on their desktop). Now, right-click that shortcut and select Properties. In the target box, you will see the path to the eqgame.exe file. We need to edit this so that it will pass an argument to that executable when the shortcut is launched. At the end of the text box (after any parenthases), add "patchme" (no quotes). Your target box should look similar to this:
"C:\Program Files\Everquest\eqgame.exe" patchme
Step 6 - Rename Zone Files
You will need to rename nektulos.eqg to nektulos.old. If you do not do this, you will zone under the world when going into Nektulos Forest. If you happen to do this, log out, rename the file, and log back in and you will be fine.
Step 7 - Spells File
Download the spell file from our server and place it in your EQ directory.
