Client used by the Nostlagia EQ Project, which is a fully open source Classic EverQuest project for hosting your own emulated classic servers. Gives the full visual experience of p99 Green on any NostalgiaEQ compatible emulated server. No exe's or dll's have been either modified or added, this is just the base titanium client with added/subtracted files and some files replaced with earlier versions from old install disks. EverQuest is a trademark of Darkpaw Games, NostalgiaEQ is not affiliated with Darkpaw.
- Download zip archive (click the green "code" button and select "download zip file")
- Unzip archive into the destination of your choice (I like to extract to Desktop)
- Power Users: Alternatively you can Clone this repository and then use Git Bash to navigate to the folder you created and enter the words: 'git pull' which will update your client. I suggest you do not use the repository folder directly to play the game with, but make a copy of it to use - and just keep the clone to get updates.
