I found this while reading an EQ forum and thought I'd give it a try. My first impression was you could download and install the software and try it out for free with level 1 access. I downloaded and unzipped the program, and the EQBCServer.exe will run and open a command prompt window waiting on packets to come across one of the browser ports, but the MQ2.exe will not run. So I went to look at another video and it said to go to the site here and download/install/run "Launcher" software. I try to do this and it tells me I cannot do this at level 1 access. Was all of this just bait to get you here and tempted, baiting you into buying level 2? If not, what am I doing wrong?
Any idea why the MQ2.exe will not run? Running WIN10, 16GB RAM, fair GPU and 3.4 GHz i5 CPU. I can run 4 accounts at once with high settings with no issues at all so I don't think my PC is underpowered.
Also, the videos and text say this runs on some servers but not others, but I don't really understand which servers they are saying this will or won't run on. I play on the old Mithaniel Marr server which is now the Bertox-Saryn server. I started playing as one of the first 200 alpha testers (that was a trip) and I just got back in the game about a month ago and have been leveling a cleric/tank merc with an enchanter/rogue merc, with a 65 bard running around pulling for these two until they were low 50's and Chorus of Marr was about to land on them outside of a group. I just got to where I was setting up macros so I could hit a key and chain a few spells together automatically while ALT+TAB to the second account and hitting a macro to chain a few spells together, then switch back and soak up the XP. Now I'm trying to run this program and I can't download the launcher, and when I try to run MQ2, it doesn't run, and doesn't give me any indication I even double clicked the shortcut. I right click and tell it to "Run as Administrator" and it pops up a window asking me if I want to allow the program to make changes to my drive and I click on "YES", and the program instantly shuts down.
Any idea what's happening or how to fix this? Is any of this even usable as a level one account? I'm not against paying, but money is tight so I'd like to try this out before dumping money into a program that I don't know if it will work or not.
I'm looking forward to tinkering with the .ini files. I used a similar style program in WOW. I actually had more fun tweaking the software and making it perfect than playing the game, but I'm OCD that way. Anyway, I'd really appreciate any help.
