• You've discovered RedGuides 📕 an EverQuest multi-boxing community 🛡️🧙🗡️. We want you to play several EQ characters at once, come join us and say hello! 👋
  • There was an optional eq update. Guest, DO NOT PATCH EQ or you'll have to wait for the next MQ update (no ETA). You can play without the patch by using patchme or autologin (preferred). If you've already patched EQ you're out of luck, unless you find someone to share the older eqgame.exe (don't ask here).

HOTFIX:
Reverted a 'fix' which unfortunately created excessive spam.
For now, you may notice a skipping in the locations, this is only a text output issue.
In the backend it's navigating to all of the pre-defined locations as it should.

- Added SafeMode location setting for each Grind
- Updated INI handling
-- added ExitMode to INI if missing (default: taskquit)
-- added SafeMode defaults for each Grind (default: 0)

Resolved defects
- Fixed death notice to not complain if you were bound in GMM
- Fixed brute force auto accepting set up
- Fixed location numbers, no more skipping numbers
