CELESTIAL DISCIPLES

Live Server Status

Real-time telemetry from the EQEmu world server and the Valus browser client — refreshed every 60 seconds.

Getting Started

Celestial Disciples is registered on the EQEmulator public login server. Follow these steps to join:

1. Create a Login Server Account — Go to eqemulator.org and create a free Login Server account (separate from forum account).
2. Get the RoF2 Client — You need the EverQuest Rain of Fear 2 (RoF2) client (May 10 2013 build). See the Client Setup Guide below.
3. Configure eqhost.txt — In your RoF2 directory, edit or create eqhost.txt with:

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

4. Create a Shortcut — Make a shortcut to eqgame.exe, then add patchme to the target field (no dash). Example:

   "C:\EverQuest\eqgame.exe" patchme

   ⚠ Never launch EverQuest normally — it will patch your client and break it.
5. Log In & Play — Launch using the shortcut, log in with your EQEmulator Login Server account, and select Celestial Disciples from the server list.

Client Setup Guide

Which Client Do I Need?

Our server requires the Rain of Fear 2 (RoF2) client — the most widely supported EQEmu client. The build date must be May 10 2013 23:30:08.

Client Setup Steps

1. Make a Backup — Copy your entire EverQuest RoF2 folder to a safe location before doing anything. Name it something like C:\EverQuest_RoF2.
2. Set Up eqhost.txt — Replace the contents with:

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

3. Create the Launch Shortcut — Right-click eqgame.exe → Send to → Desktop (create shortcut). Right-click the shortcut → Properties → add patchme at the end of the Target field.
4. Optional: Server-Specific Files — Some servers provide custom spell files. For Celestial Disciples, the default RoF2 spells work. Check the server repo for any custom client files.
