Player Guide

Getting Started

Connect to EverQuest private servers through EQEmulator.dev. Your existing eqemulator.net account works automatically. For the full official guide, see the EQEmu Play Guide.

1. Get an EverQuest Client

You need a copy of EverQuest to play. This login server accepts these clients:

RoF2 / SoD+ — Seeds of Destruction, Underfoot, Rain of Fear and RoF2. The most widely supported choice
ToB — Only works on worlds that support ToB
Titanium — The classic client, still used by some servers

Check with your chosen server for their recommended client version.

2. Update eqhost.txt

Find eqhost.txt in your EverQuest directory. Pick your client below to get the right port. If unsure, use 5999.

RoF2 / SoD+ — Seeds of Destruction, Underfoot, Rain of Fear, RoF2

The default for most servers. If you are unsure which client you have, use this one.

Replace the contents of eqhost.txt with:

[LoginServer]
Host=login.eqemulator.dev:5999

3. Launch and Play

Start EverQuest and log in with your existing eqemulator.net username and password. You'll see a list of available servers to choose from.

How does this work with my eqemulator.net account?

This login server runs an account proxy (LSPX). When you log in with your eqemulator.net credentials, they are verified against eqemulator.net and cached locally. Your account works seamlessly across both login servers.

Password changes on eqemulator.net are automatically synced on your next login. No re-registration or migration steps required.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which port does my client use?

RoF2 and SoD+ clients use port 5999 (most common), ToB uses port 15900, and Titanium uses port 5998. If unsure, use 5999.

I'm on ToB and get an error when entering a world. Why?

The server list shows every world, but a ToB client can only enter worlds that support ToB. If a world doesn't, entry fails after you pick it. Ask that server which clients it supports, or use a RoF2/SoD+ client on port 5999 instead.

Do I need a separate account for each server?

No. Your loginserver account works across every server in the directory. Each server manages its own characters, but your login credentials are shared.

A server I play on isn't listed here. What do I do?

The server operator needs to connect their world server to this login server. Share our Server Operator Guide with them — it only takes a one-line config change.

I changed my password on eqemulator.net. Does it update here?

Yes. The next time you log in through the EQ client, your password is automatically re-synced from eqemulator.net.
