About
Welcome to EQ Archives! Our goal is to relive the classic Everquest experience through at least Planes of Power along with some improvements to server rule sets. Our goal is to have an enjoyable playing and raiding experience along with understanding that people may not have the same amount of free time available that we had in the early 2000s. Along those lines we also want loot to be more accessible. The server is managed by a group that has been playing EQ and EQ emulators since Everquest Beta thus we highly value the social aspects of grouping and raiding.
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.
