I am also a tester for this server, and I have loved it so far. The themes take the pre-existing world and make it different in a very fun way. I think anyone who is truly an EQ fan would love the themes. These modifications are very true to the spirit of the game, while still offering a different pacing than the game (especially in the early levels) that doesn't make it EZ mode, just more fun. Akkadius is a beast and he knows exactly what he's doing; when it comes to badass content with a ton of creative drive, he and his devs got it down.
I truly believe that this server will go on to be one of the biggest reasons people download and use EQEmu. I love a lot of the ideas being tossed around for the future too.
I'm very excited.
EDIT: Also, it's true, no additional downloads! Just load up EQEmu as you would for any other server, then play. The only changes atm you need to make are to a couple of lines of text in a .txt file for Forgotten Halls to see the beautiful gates to each theme.
In the future a spell file will be necessary to DL, but that's it as far as is planned I believe.
