Idea... single player EverQuest?

[Secrets]

Sorry for double posting, but I left out a few things in my last post and the edit button is no where to be found.

The content in these types of servers would be tuned to solo-play. It's not going to have any original EQ content (well, depending on what you'd like to keep that isn't spawns) but will have the same concept in a smaller scale.

I used The Elder Scrolls as an example because that reflects my idea the most. It reflects the idea of everquest, but I feel the emulator has more customization opportunities in its current state than most people realize.

Just a few things I forgot, again, sorry for double posting.

Interesting idea if I understand it correctly.

There is no reason you can't make your own DB and quests and distribute them. Lots of people here have given away their custom setups over the years.

But, I don't think it's a simple task to create a complete server, especially if you plan on starting with an empty DB. Not many people would want to invest the time it would take to create one from scratch. It seems to me that a more fluid model would be to make mods for existing DB's like PeQ or AX.

Then people could download the core DB and grab a Secrets_Nektulos_Mod_V.1 which contains your version of Nek forrest. Or possibly a whole expansion mod or something.

Excellent idea. I think my version (if I made one) would require quest driven level advancement, so that questing (playing) was a bit more linear, with an open-ended feel.

This is sort of what I was aiming for, personally. Anything that would mod a database or add on to it which was not in original EQ, whether it be a whole new database, or just a new zone (that in your example, would tie to EQ lore.)

Maybe i'll even release a few custom zones for the community to use and modify to their likes.

We'll see.
