EQmac Saved - Now FREE to play!

There are people out there.. even at low levels.


It's hard to tell the actual population at any given time because they don't release that information.

but the server "general" chat channel usually has between 150 and 200 people on it.

I doubt everybody is in that channel all the time though because it can be annoying at times.

Using the luclin UI.

Bazaar search doesn't work as far as I can tell. You can see if an item is in bazaar by searching, but it won't tell you what merchant or the proper price. Good thing there are only like 25 traders.

I run avast antivirus and all I do is right-click the avast icon and disable all shields until reboot. When I'm done playing EQ I just reboot my computer and then everything is back to normal.

i was losing my sock.exe until I made my antivirus stop scanning that folder.
I use avast as well and instead of the disable until next boot up, i went to the protector shields and clicked into settings i think it was and added c/eqmac as an ignore file. haven't had any issue.

I got this working. Looks great and I really like it. Seems to be people everywere.

Downside no zoom out to have the camera behind your toon. Upside no problems with end game.

Zoom works, its clunky, you have to use insert/delete. Once you set it then its fine. You can change the angle by holding in the mouse button once you get the distance set.

Thats cool. I am used to just turning off my virus protection when playing video games though. Old habit. Virus programs have always interfered with games pretty much as long as there have been virus scanners. Games run smoother without the scans running in the background hogging resources.

Read my guide a few pages back. Just go into your eqclient.ini file and make NEWUI=True.

Done

I've been spending a lot of time here recently. It's nothing against P99 or their endeavors... It's simply that I have a shitty laptop (128mb ram etc. etc.) and I experience much less lag and shorter load times on PCMac than I do here. Once I finally get around to upgrading I look forward to continuing my progress here, but until then I'll content myself with what I can actually play ).
