Running your own server: EQEmu FAQ ! (2024)

FAQ Section - A Work in progress!​

Q: Hey, whats this eqemu file they have on their site - you didnt say anything about downloading that !

A: The CaveDude file that you download is a precompiled bunch of files with some other stuff thrown in to assist you in getting a server up and running. the EqEmu files you see on their website are included with that.

Q: Can I use any other SQL program to run my database for EQEmu ?

A: No! At this point, unfortunatley only mySQL is supported by the EQEmu software.

Q: I dont have a copy of EQ Titanium, is there any way at all for me to play ?

A: Not unless you find a copy of Titanium unfortunatley. If you live in the US, you can pick it up for about $19 in most stores.

Q: Where are the "Uber" items with +100 regen and +2,000HP on them ?

A: Customizing your servers item database is done easily, an the best way to doso is with an Item Editor. You can download an editor which I believe will work with the 0.7.0 release here: http://66.159.225.58/eqemu/eqitems.zip (right click, save as)
