You've discovered RedGuides, an EverQuest multi-boxing and scripting community 🧙♀️⚙️. We want you to play several EQ characters at once, come join us and say hello! 👋
IRL - My wife and I both want to box 3 characters but be in the same group.

If you guys are living in the same house , your fine using 1 Red Guides account.
But if your not and running from different IP. Then you may need to talk to Red Bots and see what he can do for you.
You should be fine either way and should be good to go soon as you download the patcher

If you're on two separate computers and want to not share a connection and thus prevent each other from issuing commands to each other you'll just need to make sure both computers are running their own EQBCS
If you're using two separate computers and you want to be able to control her character and for her to be able to control your characters then you need some additional setup beyond what is typically done with EQBC.
EQBC uses a Server, and a Client. The server is run seperately outside of EQ, and each account logged into a specific computer is a Client. When you run MQ2EQBC and /bccmd connect, the default is 127.0.01 on port 2112
127.0.0.1 is an "imaginary" IP address, which indicates the local computer. Your actual IP address is likely different, something like 192.168.2.102 (this isn't your actual local IP address)
Since you're running on two computers, only the computer who is hosting the server can connect to it using 127.0.01
you can click on your windows
then you can type
It will spit out a bunch of information.
One bit of that information will be the connection with a "Default Gateway" entry filled in, and you want the IPv4 that populates under that option. This will be that 192.168.X.XXX number I mentioned above. The computer that isn't hosting EQBC server would
If all goes well, they'll connect to the other local computer's EQBC Server, and you'll both be connected to the same EQBC server.

Hail, and Well Met!
Yes "MQ2" is down. EQ Patched today.
MQ2 "legacy" is unlikely to be rebuilt until tomorrow. :'(
MacroQuest "Next" is patched, however.
You should upgrade to MacroQuest "Next" and you can be back in-game in like 10 minutes.
If you are looking for meshes:
Tech - - No Meshes?! CWTN Doesn't Work?! No Movement in ToL?!
Howdy All, With this newest expansion from everquest, there are new zones. With new zones, you need navigation meshes for mq2nav, easyfind, and anything else that uses mq2nav to move around to be able to do all the navigation stuff that you're used to. This includes the cwtn plugins for modes...

We did migrate, mind you we are brand new so didnt have much to migrate( we just downloaded everything today), but we did get the navmesh to migrate which does allow us to use the come to button but follow me button doesnt work. it doesnt seem to understand the commands of that one.
Most of this is out of my realm so I watch Sic's videos(probably more than I should need to) and pickup up new things here and there. If you already migrated to the latest version I would think you should change your drop down selection from "live" to "next". Give that a whirl.
