Current EQemu VS. EQlive
I was having a talk with a group of my friends today about EQemu and it being a brilliant community. Also about it not being Live compat after 9/13/05?. As we were talking about it we threw in the topic of donating to the EQemu devs to maybe take a look at the current EQlive and make it playable as of 2/05/06?. I know that I would donate $300+ and also about 4 other of my friends too. We made a bet that we could raise $2000.00 for the project to make it compatable.
Also I believe that people would donate for this cause as well. Although, I dont know if thats possible?. with all the different changes being made to the current EQ1 game. Dont get me wrong though, the donations wouldnt be a form of payment for the work nor motivation . I looked too and didnt see anything in the Forums rules about being agianst donating to further the project. It would also bring some positive things towards the EQemu project as well. Like, more players, with fresh and new ideas?. Maybe some more devs towards the project?. A new server? and further supporting this community and website?

Excellent idea, matter of fact, the rules say
"This is a large community built around supporting the EQ Emulator the Developers spend so much time coding, and the world builders spend so much time populating. We are here for support and advancment of this project not as a place for everyone to flame and bash each other. This forum will be a more professional place and your posts will reflect this."
I would certianly donate $400 for the cause to make it compatible. Thats $2400.00 right there. Though, right now I believe that they are trying to perfect the current version. I dont see why the devs wouldnt want to update it to EQlive and then perfect it to strenghten the community and bring more players. I know this takes time and is not a simple task. Maybe the devs could shed more light on the topic?

Theres lots of problems associated with donating more than whats needed for funds associated with running the project (like vBulletin licensing). Too much drama and scandal seems to me would come out of it. If the emulator right now is imperfect its alright, but if someone were to donate $5 (or even if they don't, but they are aware of the fact that people do donate) for some reason they'll feel like they'll have the right to cuss out the developers if its imperfect in any way or hard to set up.

C++ is wonderful.

Im not going to take a stance on this thread right now, just wanted to add information.
I agree with cisyouc that some issues can come up with people's expectations, theres never any garuntees around here, I would also tend to think that donating for specific work may be a bad idea legally. Any such donations would need to be made without being "for live compat".
With that said, catching live one time is not a big deal, we could do it whenever we want... the problem for me is... it never lasts, they just patch again, and we have to redo it all... especially recently, they change all the opcodes and structs every patch.

FNW and the EQEMU TEAM. I got to give credit where credit is due. As a complex online game EQ is to be able to figure out what they did to make it compat. live that takes a lot of credit to you and the rest who are able to do this. |

Maybe a compromise would be to say ahead of time "Every 6 months we will catch live", so that it only happens twice a year? Then people will at least know when to come back to the community if they find out about us during a non-compatible period.
