Is eqemu a waste of time for new people?

EQEMU "is" open source

WOWemu is not
coh is mostly not

And yes, I am into the titanum move. In fact, I have built using VS Express, the source successfully (from build 764-source, with some files from release CVS, in particular guildlist), going through and adding pragma for some silly MAC file detection that VS Express uses, and several other things to come to
========== Build: 0 succeeded, 0 failed, 3 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========
and then the latest server install which is all smooth so far except for install IO::Scalar

and whew, just done download the 1G plus maps. Is it supposed to be that big, guide says 300mb. came out to 1G. Is this windows and it's visual pax calling my tar.gz tar.tar (I dont really like tartar anyway) and expanding it as it downloads it (Please stop with the favors, M$)

It should of been 300mb zipped up. Though it is a gb unzipped.

The way Blizzard patches is, they hand the patch out to absolutly anyone to host. SOE makes users get it from them.

SO WOW = older patchers can be given out freely because Blizzard gaven anyone permition to host them.

EQ = SOE has not given anyone permition to host them, so it is against the law to do so.


This community is not able to do anything about it, if you would like to call SOE and discuss with them being able to hosrt older files thats up to you.

I follow also W@w emulation,
I can say only 3 thing about that:

-Blizzard is more severe than SOE with the emulation. They track one by all website, projects of emulation and server. They make them close (Russian Website are very good provider because Blizzard can't close them).
-All Wow emulation Website contain warez's stuff and are underground, they use W@w instead of Wow to hide about Google & co.
-Please, don't write a Guide about w@w emulation here... I don't want to see Blizzard close http://www.eqemulator.net by a C&D.

For have a new blood on emulation, titanium project is a good idea, but i think devs must be accept also bad consequences like : "I have buy titanium, that's don't work, i have pay, It is a scandal, You MUST make my game/emulator working !!! ". I hope we don't see that but i doubt.

Sorry for my very bad english :( But i hope you understand part about W@w
