Hail, we're RedGuides. We want you to play six (yes, 6!) EverQuest characters at once. We have scripts and a friendly community to help, please join our playstyle and say hello! 👋 -
We've added LLM sections to our Terms & Rules and Resource Rules, for everyone's sanity & in-game safety.Read more
a. Do not replace your voice with an LLM. This goes for your posts and your scripts. Drafting and editing with a tool is fine, but don't take you out of what you share.
b. Do not replace your EQ character's voice with an LLM. We don't want scripts that speak over/ooc,/shoutor other public channels. This has been an unwritten rule that's kept casino scripts off the site for decades, but we're now compelled to make it clear: keep automated communication private.
Why Does RG Review Scripts?
Nearly every LLM-written Lua script we see is making your character do impossible things, and rarely in a way that's beneficial to you. We've seen heavy server hammering,/targetover impossible distances when/nav spawnwould passively accomplish the same thing, a spawn search that fires 20+ times per second, and other pointless actions that are likely annoying GMs.
You are welcome to use LLMs as a tool to structure, draft, and edit your work, but please read critically before hitting/lua run
Question - Is WinEQ2 still supported? Does it make a massive difference in running multiple instances?

Your computer far exceeds mine, and i have no problems running 6 clients, what you need is mq2eqwire and optimize your
I run 6 clients, chrome, vlc watching a movie, while i chat on discord and use vscode to edit inis and macros, and sometimes i even load meshgen and regen a mesh or fix it on the fly(now this my computer dont like)
wineq2s only bonus is the fullscreen windowed mode, but that's for the paid version, the other features are not really needed anymore, or is already implemented in mq2 or eq itself.
i forget if the custom eqclient.ini pr client is for paid or free version but thats okay feature but we can allready do that without.

It's totally worth the 10$ imo, but if you are really unsure how well it will work for you, you can always load up the eq test server and try it there for free. Just /testcopy your characters over and make sure you get the test version of mq2 then you can try it out.
You'll have to talk a bit about your settings so anyone can you give you more details on how to fine tune things to run more smoothly, but EQ can easily run 6 with lots of variable settings toned down on older computers and you can still enjoy full play. First;y I think most of us would suggest MQ2EQWire plugin from @eqmule , its the best memory saving step you'll do.
As for your question, WinEQ2 can be used easily with VeryVanilla, there are posts about it if you type wineq2 in the search box above. I myself no longer use WinEQ2 as EQwire solved things with FPS and for Virtualized ini files I simply copied my EQ dir to my second HDD and put those settings into stick mode/lower resolution, etc. This way i have a few chars at full graphics and some at stick..but all using the same easy controls and startup from MQ2 tray icon. I would drop WinEQ2, no need for it I think. If you don;t want to do what I did with 2 HDD you can also look up Denethor's posts with a great trick for doing the same thing with one EQ folder.

make sure you do the other stuff
like in your eqclient.ini change all instances of "CPUAFFINITY" to #=-1
with 6 instances of EQ for example, you have 6 cpu affinity entries - you will want to change all of these to "-1"
CPUAFFINITY0=-1
CPUAFFINITY1=-1
CPUAFFINITY2=-1
CPUAFFINITY3=-1
CPUAFFINITY4=-1
CPUAFFINITY5=-1
