I run four accounts, each with their own set of files. Long ago (circa 2003) when I tried running multiple accounts from the same EQ files folder I had issues with zoning and saving files. Since then I've always had a separate folder (and EQ files directory) for every account on the computer...

I agree with Hylander, setting eqclient.ini to read-only will prevent unexpected and often unwanted changes. Keep in mind you have done this, or be frustrated when you move a window years later and keep wondering why it is back where it started. Not asking for a friend.

That's roughly 1 year of my life over the past 20 years, or on average 72 minutes a day for two decades. Of course, the vast majority of that was in...

I'll be giving Lost Ark a try but I have a sneaking suspicion that it won't last for me. Update: I was correct.
