I think what kind of kills the EQemu is it's inability to expand as a server. Every one links into a single server. A central server that can fail. This leads to the theory that one day, there might not be a central EQemu server. Thats the question I've been facing for a while now.
Does any one know how the Scorpius2K server bypassed that limitation?
There are other things too. Like the program can't reload the item/loot/(Established Merchant lists) databases while it's running. The console lacks any real commands. At least any that are documented.
Maybe it's just me, I've run a few other servers (non-eq) and while there where a million+ server out there all posing something the others lacked, it felt like the community's were alive. Here it feel like a dusty room with a few people huddling around the last candle on earth.
I'm probably reading too much into it... Things will probably get better. I hope.
