-1. Install Game: Install AoM client available on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/201230/EverQuest_II/
-
-2. Update Login Server: Navigate to EverQuest install directory, eg. C:\Steam\steamapps\common\EverQuest 2
-
-   a. Open eq2_default.ini with your Notepad or other flavor editor
-
-   b. Replace first line with 'cl_ls_address a.b.c.d' - where a.b.c.d is one or many IPv4 addresses
-      eg. cl_ls_address 192.168.0.2
-
-   c. Save Changes

-
-## Getting Started (Server)
-
-Note: These instructions for now will be primarily based in Windows, but any Linux savvy individual should be able to translate the steps
-
-1. Software Requirement: MariaDB (MySQL DB, etc.) to allow EQ2Emulator LoginServer / WorldServer to interface
-
-    Obtain Latest Install (be sure to select OS on the right hand side as default will be a linux distro): https://mariadb.com/downloads/
-
-    Installation Instructions for MariaDB can be found here: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/installing-mariadb-msi-packages-on-windows/
-
-    Note: Be sure to remember the user and password defined in the installation!!  Used in later steps.
-
-2. Open MySQL Client: Login using the password (assigned to root or other default user) setup in the MariaDB installation.
-
-3. Source in Databases: Issue the following commands to setup EQ2Emulator's databases for login (eq2ls) and world (eq2emu).
-
-   - You must first go into source C:\\[YOUREQ2EMUGITSRC]\DB\ and extract world_db.zip 'Here' into the same \DB\ directory.
-
-   - Run the following commands in the MySQL Client prompt:
-      create database eq2ls;
-      create database eq2emu;
-      \u eq2ls
-      source C:\\[YOUREQ2EMUGITSRC]\DB\ls_db.sql
-      \u eq2emu
-      source C:\\[YOUREQ2EMUGITSRC]\DB\world_db.sql
-
-4. Add World Account (in Login Server database, eq2ls): 
-		
-		\u eq2ls
-		insert into login_worldservers set name='TestLabs',account='testlabs',description='TestLabs',password=sha2('testpass',512),note='',login_version='0.7.3-dev';
-
-		The account and password will be used in Step 5 for the 'account' and 'password' parameters.
-		
-5. Open the C:\\[YOUREQ2EMUGITSRC]\server\LoginServer.ini file (Notepad or other flavor editor)
-
-    Note: Steps to find your LAN IP (command prompt, ipconfig, IPv4 address): https://www.lifewire.com/ip-config-818377
-
-    Find your WAN (Internet) IP: https://www.google.com/search?q=what+is+my+ip
-
-   - Modify the [LoginServer] section:
-   
-      - loginserver: LAN/WAN IP of your login server to use the login_worldservers account against
-      - worldname: World Name that matches the 'name' column defined in login_worldservers (eg. TestLabs)
-	  - worldaddress: LAN/WAN IP of your world server
-	  - internalworldaddress: LAN IP of your world server
-	  - account: Column 'account' defined in login_worldservers (eg. testlabs)
-	  - password: Column 'password' in login_worldservers (eg. testpass)
-   - Save Changes
-   
-6. Open the C:\\[YOUREQ2EMUGITSRC]\server\login_db.ini file (Notepad or other flavor editor)
-   - Modify the [Database] section:
-      - host: Should remain localhost unless you have your MariaDB server reside on another host IP
-      - user: When installing MariaDB the user defined (default is 'root') should be set here
-      - password: When installing MariaDB use the password defined along with the default user.
-      - database: This field should remain eq2ls unless changed by the user to use a custom database name.
-
-7. Open the C:\\[YOUREQ2EMUGITSRC]\server\world_db.ini file (Notepad or other flavor editor)
-   - Modify the [Database] section:
-      - host: Should remain localhost or 127.0.0.1 unless you have your MariaDB server reside on another host IP
-      - user: When installing MariaDB the user defined (default is 'root') should be set here
-      - password: When installing MariaDB use the password defined along with the default user.
-      - database: This field should remain eq2emu unless changed by the user to use a custom database name.
-
-8. Start the Login Server: C:\\[YOUREQ2EMUGITSRC]\server\EQ2Login__Debug64.exe
-
-9. Start the World Server: C:\\[YOUREQ2EMUGITSRC]\server\EQ2World__Debug_x64.exe
-
-10. Startup EverQuest2.exe (DO NOT USE EQ2.EXE AS IT WILL PATCH!) and login using credentials of your choice.  After login the account will be automatically created.
-
-11. Optional: After creating a character and logging in give yourself all admin privileges to use commands/GM access
-
-		\u eq2emu
-		update characters set admin_status=255 where name='charname';
