That's a great idea, I was planning on releasing a more up to date version of the installer. Perhaps I'll have two versions, one configurable, one not. That'll help new users get up and running quickly again.

As for how advanced EQEmu is in terms of compared to other emulators... My 2 cents is that while I agree Mangos/Antrix (both WoW) are both a bit more advanced than EQEmu, I have to say we are a solid 2nd. Antrix is in reality a fork of Mangos, they didn't start from scratch. Dawn of Light (Dark Age of Camelot) and L2J (Lineage II) are also excellent projects, but they seriously lack the network support the 3 projects above it have. The rest of the projects I have found simply lack the features to even compare. They are all partially playable at best.

The problem surrounding most of the projects is lack of interest. I personally blame WoW. Since it came along, it has drawn a lot of interest away from other online games, both live and emulated. EQ and EQEmu have it doubly bad because we have EQ2 to contend with as well. The one thing about EQEmu that I can say is that it has a never die attitude. Most other projects would have gone defunct by this point, but even at the worst times EQEmu continues on.

If EQEmu had the support that WoW and Pre-CU SWG emus have, we'd have a polished fully compatible live server by now, with a fully popped db to go with it. But, we have to just make do with what we do have and remember, considering a good portion of projects fail before they even get off the ground we have got it pretty good.
