I would like to try to download the latest one (I haven't touched EQ in ages) and noticed that when I go to the TEQIM site, there is some sort of script error.

Can soemone provide a direct link to download it?

Argh, sourceforge is at it again. They have this messed up system where all files must be set to readable permission for everyone, which is horrible if you're trying to keep anything secure. They had it like that before, and then changed it back... looks like they did it again.

Anyway, fixed the script error and you can download it as you normally would

any plans for eq2im?

Unless I missed something, there's not an EQ2IM from SOE, so unless that happens I doubt there will be something like it...

There isn't an EQ2IM stand alone app but if you are an EQ2Players subscriber w/ the advanced guild features enabled, you can log in to a flash applet that will chat with your guildmates (/guild). It also supports both same-server and cross-server tells.

Sure, but that's still their servers. Unless it uses your computer's connection there is no way to reproduce it, and even if it does they may restrict it to EQ2Players from the inside... the point is there's just as much possibility of EQ2IM as there is for WoW, DAOC, etc. If they don't support it on their end, it really cant be done.

the EQ2 Guid chat system uses an interactive realtime Flash Applet which implies that there is client server communications going on of some sort. Which means it shoudl be able to be reverse engineered and possibly duplicated in teh same fashion as EQIM.

It uses non HTTP ports at leat for sure (it gets blocked by the firewall at the office). Specificly looks like port 5222 (eq2players-beta.station.sony.com:5222)
Telnet connect to it just fine but any text causes it to boot you.

From a very quick look at some tcpdumps it appears very much to be using the jabber protocol.

This may actually make it phenominally easy...

hah.

You can probably set up Trillian's Jabber plugin then.
Sad that it would require EQ2Players on your account, but hey

Hrm.. can't edit my messages.

Looks like they're using a customized/branded version of jabber.com's flash product.

Should the Dec. 15 2004 build of TEQIM work with Trillian Pro 3.0? Mine's not working; I'm wondering if I did something wrong?

So has anyone figured out how to use a Trillian plugin to connect to the EQ2 servers?
