I've kind of made it into a small sub project for myself, but I'm glad that it's an interest of several other people. The only areas I know really well are the classic areas and I no longer have a live account and have not had one for almost 2 years now.
Personally, I think that Allakhazams is good enough information for a lot of the minor additions we need to make. The comments and information a lot of people make under the database entries for Allakhazams is amazingly helpful, too.
After seeing the spawn condition part of the spawn2 table and then the spawnconditions table, I think I'm going to set to work on things like the Ancient Cyclops spawn and will probably check to see if the Kithicor undead have been fixed as well. =)
I can't think of a lot of old world zones that needed keys and had locked doors, though. =/ Najena and Befallen were all that I could think of when I sat down to try and figure it out. They were also some of the only dungeons.
What I would like to see after these fixes is more engaging quests to get people BACK into the old world zones. For instance, the Tome of Ages quest. I would honestly love to sit down with a group of people to try and get the entire quest done as a community type thing. Perhaps completing the entire Tome of Ages quest would spawn a random Fabled Creature so, to collect all the fabled gear, you would have to do the quest a ton of times--- lot of time and effort--- and, for their hard work, we change the fabled gear to be droppable?
I'd also like to see some kind of major quest in the Ocean of Tears to get people back into that zone now that the boats no longer work (and haven't for a long long time... not EQEmu's fault, this one is Sony).
EDIT:: I would kind of like to see the whole doors thing become a team thing as well. I'm knocking down Befallen this weekend. Who all is interested in participating in this? I'm figuring we probably need 2 or 3 people working on the doors if we have enough zones. The Hole will probably be the big one since that zone was designed to bring Thieves back into the team situation.
