FAQ What is possible with EQEMU and What is NOT
 

If someone could answer these questions as a simple FAQ to give EQemu noobs an insight to what is possible and what is not.

T H A N X !


Does EQemu support all zones ?

Does EQemu support all addons including Yekesha

Does Eqemu allow you to create quests

Does EQemu include time spawning and do the mobs follow you alike the retail version of EQ

Does EQemu allow auto saving of your character

Does EQemu support casting and buffing

Does EQemu support the functionality of a Chat server embeded into EQ.

Does EQemu support faction

Does EQemu only support up to 12 players per server.

Does Eqemu support droppable items that can be found on a mobs corpse

Last of all what is the most annoying factor that the Retail version of EQ has over EQemu.

All zones - not all yet, will in the future

All addons - not all yet, includes all the way up to PoP

Create quests - in progress, but the answer is a definite yes. They are working on ways to make it more simple and adaptable.

Spawning - there are fixes in the works in spawning, but it is possible, depending on the database. As for them following you, the engine supports it, but many databases do not as of yet. It is VERY possible to configure, but takes time. The game is only as alike EQ live as the database controller makes it. So if you host a game and learn the settings they use, then it is very much like live.

Autosaving char - yes

Casting and buffing - still receiving work, not complete, but yes for the most part

Chat server... Ummm the CHAT button doesn't work, but talking, telling, shouting, ooc ing work

Faction - yes, depending on database you receive. Some are very complete, but none are all done up to Planes of Power.

Up to 12 players ONLY? No, servers are being made more stable all the time. We've had some up to 30, but it's hard to get an accurate stress test when we don't have enough active members to stress it. Our last stress test was interrupted by massive US internet outages and delays.

Dropable items on lootable mob corpses - yes, very much yes

Most annoying thing EQ retail has compared to EQEmu? The people on EQ retail are all so badass that it sucks to be a newbie. With these servers, one-player, 12-players, 30-players can all play on one server, and if people are twinking, you don't have to worry about them farming everything you'd work so hard for.

Actually, the chat server works, we just never have the server running. We are thinking of getting it linked to the IRC chat room soon(tm)

And ForeverHacking had 60 on it 2 weekend agos even with the Internet problems on the backbone.

Bordael? isnt that one of the EQOA Devs? :shock:
