Ok thanks but where is the making it public part. I do know for No.ip users goto reals.confg file and change at the bottom of list.
<Realm1 Name = "Change this in the arcemu-realms.conf file"
Address = "merc.no-ip.biz:8129" <--------------------------- To your no.ip name
Icon = "PVP"
Population = "1.0"
TimeZone = "1">

Oops.. At first i was going to add a guide how to make it public with this guide.. but it would be too long.. i am going to make a new thread and it will be a guide on how to make it public
This is great but i have a question. How do i install the Database? Stupid question i know but the databases i always have put together come with only 3 sql files so i have no idea how to put this 1 together. If i get it working, +rep for you Reply back! xD EDIT: Crap i have no rep power....
Well I don't find this such a great guide.
It doesn't tell you to edit your config files. I assume that editing the config files is done in the repack itself.
You run the map extract but why not vmaps as well.
And you don't get the option when you install MySQL the first time to modify your security settings.

Great guide,
