EZServer is a completely customized, emulated version of EverQuest. Some things will be the same as your experience on EQLive, some things will be different.

EZServer is primarily a solo boxing server, and most users on EZServer play at least one full group of players, and upwards of 18 players every time they log on. There is, however, collaboration and helping between players on EZServer.

Setting up your client

1. Obtain a copy of EverQuest Underfoot (Do not use Titanium, as several custom aspects of EZServer will not work properly)
This can be downloaded in 7 parts at the following links:

http://tinyurl.com/ezclient3
http://tinyurl.com/ezclient4
http://tinyurl.com/ezclient5
http://tinyurl.com/ezclient6
http://tinyurl.com/ezclient7

2. Extract these into a folder of your choice (e.g. C:/EZServer/...)

3. Download Server Files and Spell Files (these are dynamic links, and will update periodically, so make sure to re-download after a patch, or every few weeks.)
Extract these two zipped files into your main everquest directory

4. Download Macroquest. Select "Underfoot" for Client, and "Classic" for build, then click download

5. Run "MacroQuest2.exe" and "EQBCServer.exe" before launching client
Basic allowed uses for Macroquest:

  • /target npcname (targets any npc in zone)
  • /stick (much better version of /follow)
  • /bca //command (tells all of your characters except the one issuing the command to do a specified command)
  • /bcaa //command (tells all of your characters including the one issuing the command to do a specified command)
  • /bct charactername //command (tells charactername to do a specified command)
  • /itemnotify slotname rightmouseup right-clicks specified item
  • Dynamic map NPC locations (all NPC locations show up on minimap in real time)

6. Create a forum account and loginserver account. Each forum account can support 3 login server accounts. One login server account is required per character. (i.e. if you want to create six characters, you will need to create 2 forum accounts, each with 3 loginserver accounts). Your loginserver account will be the username and password used to login to EverQuest.

7. Create a shortcut to EverQuest that DOES NOT USE THE EQLIVE PATCHER.

  • Go to your EverQuest directory
  • Find EQGame.exe
  • Create a shortcut to EQGame.exe on your desktop (right click --> Send to --> Desktop (create shortcut)
  • Right click on the newly created shortcut to EQGame.exe on your desktop
  • Select "Properties"
  • Go to the textbox after "target" and add " patchme" after the text (with a space before the word patchme) (e.g. "C:\EverQuest\eqgame.exe" patchme)
