Porting, or using EVERQUEST
 

Has anyone found a way to play Everquest on Linux? Even with WINE or WINEX or anything. IS there a version available FOR linux?

Anyone?

At eq.castersrealm.com, they just announced that EQ will soon be or already is available for Mac OS X. Since linux seems to have less priority than macintosh in the world for developers, I would say there is no linux version of EQ.

Dunno if it could be jury-rigged to work under linux, but I'm a green newbie anyway, so don't ask me :)

Winex now can run eq. You must use the latest version of winex. The paid for one I think. U must use the new ui not the old one. I am working on getting it installed I got the patcher (the pop one) to pop up and downlaod the files takign a bit though. One question about winex what is the services liek wineservercd or soemthing? I killed it now it won't restart and I cannot install any ,more games using winex.

Thanx if you know it.

In case any one is wonderign it does work I just got mine working nto to long ago. It looks real nice only problem I am having is its still a small window. I need to get that fixed and hopefully find soemway to speed the patcher up as it takes a long time (and I am on a cable modem). Well I guess I get to change my signature.

Thank you! This is good news!

Thanks again Gonus :)

Cool

Hey there is some company called Transgaming that does a prodect for linux to run windows game www.transgaming.com is the site, I think.

Yeah thats what I am using sorry for not posting the link.
They support the customers very well with fast responses to post requsetign support. I was not that pleased at first but they are good you just gotaa ask them for help when soemthings not working the way it should.

yeah the new winex does support online everquest, the whole article is here http://www.transgaming.com/showthread.php?news=49

I just recently got the updated winex and now all the fonts are good and I get the fullscreen (thats from updating vid card). Just wondering how everyone else was doing with this. I have gotten all expansions up to lucling to work anyone tried POP yet?

Gonus

Hey Gonus, you got the paid version? How much does that run, and how does it go?

Cool

Yah dude I got the Paid version. To get that U must subscribe a mmin of 3 months (15$) and then u can download it. As long as u are subscribed you get the updates. It works good. I have a problem running the updated textures of luclin so I can't recommend those. But with out those I can run it great no lag even in bazaar.Oh yeah when u subscribe you also get support for all the games that they do support they are limited on support for eq but other games liek Diabllo 2 and starcraft and many others are very well supported.

Thanks for info and the feedback, that's not too bad for something like this... So how often to updates come out?

Cool

They update the rpm versions usually about every 2 months but when they get soemthign going (like eq) they post an update monthly to fix common problems. At first the fonts were hardly ledgible but they fixed that with an update. Now it runs great.
