Getting started

Create a Login Account

1. Go to https://loginserver.eqarchives.com/accounts/ and register for a loginserver account. From there, you can create as many game accounts as you need. 2. Edit the eqhosts.txt file in your game client to contain the following:

[Registration Servers]
{
"loginserver.eqarchives.com:6999"
}
[Login Servers]
{
"loginserver.eqarchives.com:6000"
}

Alternatively, use your TAKP forum account. If using that account, your eqhosts.txt should be set to TAKP/Quarm settings:

[Registration Servers]
{
"loginserver.takproject.net:6999"
}
[Login Servers]
{
"loginserver.takproject.net:6000"
}

Note: EQA and TAKP loginservers provide unique game accounts so you should use one or the other to access the EQA server.

Ruleset

• Based on Quarm source code
  • This enables expansion gating and enhanced server rule settings
• World configuration (quests, spawn rates, drop rates) follows closest to TAKP database
• Goal is era accuracy (exceptions noted in custom changes section below)
• Server starts in Kunark Era
• Firiona Vie (FV)-style loot rules (not yet implemented)
• 3 box limit (1-box preferred for social reasons).
  • This is enforced by IP and GM logs.
• Player vs Environment (PVE)
• Exp boosts at announced dates
• New expansions will be released 6 - 12 months after all raid targets in the current expansion have been defeated
