Based on what I've learned in the last 24 hours, I can see how it would be easier to craft your own quests, drops and such. I had assumed that the emulator was backward engineered in a way that all that stuff was there.

So, am I to understand that it's a "blank" world and that I need to place all the NPCs, spawn times, pathing, program the quests, control drops, tweak for balance all on my own?

If so, are there sites/people out there who supply files/code with some of this already done allowing me to tweak it and customize it, or am I back to being on my own with it?

I do not know C++ and neither does my husband, though he's much farther along than I am. He's a game designer already with a pretty sweet job. I could consult with him of course, but C++ is not his forte.
