k, Trumpcard... I hear you on the items part :(
Just, I dont have EQlive anymore and to me the emulator rocks - but not for the "right" reasons... Its not really playable, yet... I see it "just" as a great tool to check out zones and have some fun at level 65 seeing how uber you can get your char...
Now, for playabillity I would need mobs to drop items so I can play from 1 - 65...
So, I gather its the task of entering these datas into the database thats keeping this from the emulator, since the mobs and items for all zones (besides PoP) is already there?
Then... How does this crazy idea sound... Someone make a nice easy to follow manual on how to enter loot drops on mobs in the database and how to alter the drop rate on these items (which are common, rare, very rare etc)... THEN... Here comes the fun part, haha... Make a huge list of each zone in the game and let people from the community volenteer to sign up for 1-n zones and gather and itemize the zones they signed up for (you can find all the info needed on different sites - depending on how old the zones are)... When people have gathered the data they submit it to some central figure - one of the developers, I guess - who then combines all the gathered zone data and vupti... We got itemized zones for the publich in an upcoming ADDON
Am I being crazy here or is it realistic...
On the features part....
- NPC/Mobs special attacks (AE's, procs, spells)
- Haste on items (only spell haste working?)
- Faction (know its being worked on)
- Respawn cycle
