<CharacterDatabase Hostname = "localhost" Username = "root" Password = "MySQLPassword" Name = "logon" Port = "3306" Type = "1">

Change ALL the MySQLPassword by your MySQL Password!

==================================================


Now look for this:

<die msg="I am a newb who didn't even read half my config file!">

#<die msg="I am a newb who didn't even read half my config file!">

==================================================

<ScriptBackends LUA="1"
AS="0">


==================================================


Now look for this:

<LogonServer DisablePings = "0"
            RemotePassword = "passgoeshere">Change the passgoeshere by your MySQL password

Close and save.


Now open: ArcEmu-logonserver.conf

Now look for this:

<LogonDatabase Hostname = "host"
               Username = "user"
               Password = "pass"
               Name     = "dbname"
               Port     = "3306"
               Type     = "1">

Modify it for this:

<LogonDatabase Hostname = "localhost"
               Username = "root"
               Password = "MySQLPassword"
               Name     = "logon"
               Port     = "3306"
               Type     = "1">

Modify the MySQLPassword by your MySQL Password

At the end completly look for this:
<LogonServer RemotePassword = "change_me_logon"
AllowedIPs = "***MUST BE COMPLETED***" 
AllowedModIPs = "***MUST BE COMPLETED***">

Modify it for this:

<LogonServer RemotePassword = "MySQLPassword"
AllowedIPs = "127.0.0.1/32" 
AllowedModIPs = "127.0.0.1/32">Change the MySQLPassword by your MySQL Password

Close and save.

14- Starting the server (Play)

Now go to: C:/MyRepack/Arcemu/

Then open Arcemu-world.exe and Arcemu-logonserver.exe

Now go to your world of warcraft directory and look for realmlist.wtf and then
change the realmlist to: 127.0.0.1! Open WoW and play with the account you made in step 10.

15- Credits

Credits go to:

The URL Repository is: svn://arcemu.info/svn/arcemu/

This is not working, however, this is the correct information. "://arcemu.info/svn/trunk" place the http in front, because I am not allowed to post links yet as I just joined.
That's as far as I have gotten with your guide at this moment, so will let you know if I discover anything else.
*editing to correct info*

Then navigate there: ArcEmu/Trunk/Win/

There doesn't seem to be a "Trunk" folder anymore, so just go to the "Win" folder.

Navigate to: ArcEmu/Trunk/src/scripts

This should be corrected to say "\Arcemu\src\scripts" I believe.

Then open ExtraScripts2008.sln

I too got the same error at this step as laylock did. Think I'll start over and skip this part.
