Installation and Setup

  • Download and install a copy of EQ Rain of Fear 2 Client.
    • Remember where you install your client to. You will need this path again to complete installation
    • There is no legal copy of this we distribute, so you will have to search for it.
    • EZServer may have a client download available. Torrents and other sources may also work.
    • Once installed, find and right click on the `eqgame.exe` and select ‘Send to’ then ‘Desktop’. This will create a shortcut for accessing Chainbreaker on your desktop

    • Download the Chainbreaker Server Files from the chainbreaker-files channel, which you can select from the left-hand column in Discord
    • Unzip these Server Files into your EQ installation path (where eqgame.exe is)
    • When prompted, select to ‘Replace All files’ in the location with the ones you are extracting.
  • Create an EQEmulator account:
    • Visit http://www.eqemulator.org/forums/register.php
    • Read the terms, check the I have read box, click register
    • Enter the login account name that you want in the User Name section
    • Set a password
    • Set your email account (you should use a real email account that you have access to)
    • Complete the Random Question section to prove you’re not a bot
    • Complete the Additional anti-bot question in the Additional Required Information section
    • Enter your date of birth and privacy settings
