Basic questions from a EQemu noob...

[NMorice]

I am debating on switching to EQemu from the EQLive servers. Its been a little over 3 years since I have started playing EQ, but due to RL I need to say goodbye to EQ in a few months. I was wondering if playing (or servering) EQemu would let me see some of the zones that I missed out on or killing (soloing hehe) some mobs that I missed out on too. I loved the exploration and adventuring in EQ; I'm just sad I never got to see the "4 corners of Norrath" before I have to leave.

Would EQemu allow me to do what I want? Would a non-legit server allow me as much freedom as to solo <insert dead mob here> or duo whatever I decided to kill? Would it be best just to run my own server for some personal freedom (plus a few friends) before I leave EQ entirely?

And, lastly, is it possible to play EQemu or set up my own EQemu server and still play EQLive until I leave for good? or once I switch to EQemu, I have to leave the live servers too?

Thanks in advance for the info,
