Servers are down. You're probably just fine on you're end, just gotta wait for DGC to fix their shit. In general, that error means either everquest or mq2 needs to be updated. Every patch day, like the one yesterday, will have a period of a few hours where mq2 is unusable due to the mismatch.
Thanks for the reply! As of just now I've re-patched EQ via Launchpad and according to the Redguides Launcher I've got the latest version of MQ2, but I'm still getting the same error. The only thing I can think of that may be causing an issue is: instead of running a complete download from the web the last time I installed EQ I had just saved my whole Daybreak folder to a hard drive and put it on the new comp to preserve my UI files. Could that be causing an issue and if so, is there any way to just patch eqgame.exe somehow without a full EQ reload?
The error message hasn't cleared yet after again re-patching this way. Just brainstorming - if I were to go into my EQ folder, delete eqgame.exe, and re-patch via the Launchpad would that restore the application with the newest eqgame.exe? ...or is that a terrible idea? Should probably back up my Daybreak folder again before attempting.
even that is an understatement
Watching some of Sic's videos has promoted me to create a berserker now to add to my team, Ive already started a cleric too
I hope so, I have been manually playing 3 characters at the moment, but from the videos ive seen from MQ it looks incredible and will massively enhance my way of playing! Just need to wrap my head around the setup
Thank you very much for these, I will watch them a few times over. Very helpful!This thread is to discuss the "The Red Guide" video series, meant to get new users up & running as quickly as possible. Feedback of any type is appreciated.

I also Play in First Person (since 2001) although i do press 1 through = for spells everything else is click. Hard to change since i was click playing in the 80s on Atari computers playing Utima I - VIII and all the D&D games that came out. (Edit) i have no friends so i play the way i like
Me too best way

It's best under a separate directory. When you switch the dropdown in the RG Launcher to "MacroQuest - Test" the install will default to a new folder.
Thanks Red.
mq2autogroup can group your toons (vid in my signature)So first things first, I love this!
I just came back after years away(whenever 90 was max level) and after a couple of weeks trying to alt+tab and not knowing merc limitations and all the new jazz I was about to quit again.
Someone recommending this in game days ago. I finally got around to struggling through learning Reguides, getting everything downloaded and installed last night but was just overwhelmed over loaded after all that.
Full disclosure about my mental energy levels this week, I got laid off. So, please take some of this with that particular grain of salt.
So, today I found these videos and went from "ugh... so much... is this even worth it really?" to "holy crap this is AWESOME!!!" I'm burning through the videos and just insanely excited.
Thank you. Thank you. THANK YOU!
Now, for the request/suggestion?
Almost all of the videos are super cool but they have one glaring issue(at least for me), they all assume you're characters are grouped.
Is there an addon/macro I haven't made it to yet that will auto group my team when I log in or a single button I can configure to assemble the avengers so to speak once I'm logged in?
If so, can this be maybe permalinked at the top or wherever you think is most appropriate given the flow of the videos? Or maybe just added into one of the very first videos?
Like , maybe at the end of the auto login option, a section added or a blurb before the video/after the video that's like "Hey, You're auto logged in now which is sick for sure... but... wanna also have your group always ready as soon as you're in Norath? Do this ... etc. And don't worry, we'll dig in deeper on some of the commands in the next/upcoming videos. But for now, this will set you up to play along with minimal effort. etc. " I don't know. something like that.
Again, this is just one of the coolest projects I've seen in 20+ years of gaming and one of the most fun, and technically slick, coding projects I've used/reviewed in ages as a consumer and developer. Just all the kudos and stars to whomever designed and built the serverless interop and api interfaces. Really well done y'all
Also, I'm new to RedGuides so, I'm learning the system as well. If there's a "thing" I should be doing to assist or reward someone for help or just great work, please let me know
Couple of other things to check out as well when you have a momentThank you
