Hello there everyong... long time no see...
I have not been involved in the eqemu community for a month or two now, but it is great to see that my idea to run the megaserver is still alive and kicking...
I am still interested in doing this, the problem being what was mentioned before... We NEED a good stable database first... because constant database updates being replicated over the internet is unreasonable...
I am still very excited about trying this, but we need a more finished DB first...
Also I have allways thought of it being a legit server...
I planned on setting it up so that all players only have the abilities of players on real eq. And the only GMs there would be would be permenant server owners...
but I agree completely, if we can create a real copy of norrath and make it capable of supporting many players, it could be alot of fun, and we could rebuild the world our own way... Have the ability to alter content to the users whims and all around have a good time without:
A) Paying
B) The control of the corporate opressor (AKA Verant / Sony)
C) The bore of doing something that has been done a million times in an old dying world
Anyway... KEEP THIS TOPIC ALIVE!!! PLEASE!!!
If we can build interest in this idea, then when the time comes that the DB may be ready, I can see the EQEMU world migrating to a true alternative to paid EQ play...
Thanks,
Talk to you all later!
(And hope to see you online sometime...)
