Raider Essentials / Migration from GINA to EverQuest Log Parser (EQLP)
« on: August 22, 2025, 06:48:44 PM »Migration from GINA to EQLP
Greetings!
The current Freelance requirement for triggers is Gina. However, Gina has not been supported for quite some time. Recently, the website for Gina downloads has been shut down. Players with existing Gina downloads have also reported lost triggers, inability to download/quick-share, and complete file corruption. For these reasons, Freelance will migrate from Gina to EQ Log Parser (EQLP). Existing Gina packages will remain available on the forums, but no new packages for Gina will be released.
Freelance raiders are required to complete the migration by December 31, 2025.
