Update
So i used the launcher and it loaded up the 2.2.4 test client ccr created.
Got to the character select screen and yeah some stock 65 gear looked like Dragon armor with a funky mask and forks for gloves lol.
Got an error when i loaded the game and logged in that said it failed to load webbrowser.
My guess is that the database for 2.2.3 is way to old to even allow a successful login or that the zone is out dated and unusable. Could also be that it needs something running server side that 223 and 2232 don't have.
I think its down to db and the zone. I just wanted to see the new flash interface
2.1.6 i think had the emulator part bypassed but 2.2.1 to 2.2.3.2 all need the emulator. I can upload it for you if you still need it. I have it set up to work under local ip anyway so not much need for you to do.
