So if I want to /testcopy my toons and try a test server, I need to change the drop down in the launcher to test? Correct?

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

Because I play on both live and test (sometimes simultaneously) , I have two separate EQ installs (on separate drives too)... So you dont need to keep changing it in the launcher every time you want to flip back n forth...
Yes, as Lor pointed out, if its in your ability, make 2 installs (can be same drive), that way your not patching over yourself every time.

Thank you guys. Making the separate directories a GREAT idea. Wouldn’t have thought to do that. Thanks again!!

THEN, once you're done that.. make some shortcuts and rename them "EQ LIVE" and "EQ TEST" and change the command line options so you dont have to go through the patcher every time
Your Target line (in properties for the shortcut to eqgame.exe) will look something like this: "D:\Program Files\Daybreak Game Company\Installed Games\EverQuest\eqgame.exe" patchme
You'll note the " " around everything except the patchme bit..
And then once you've done that, do even one better and set up your guys in MQ's autologin feature, which is bar none the best!
