Is there a way to just make a server 100% exactly like everquest server, all quests enabled and the same, npc's say the same thing, mobs have 100% same hp/ac as in reg eq, and all that? i know this isnt happenin, but i want to know the reasone why you cant steal all that data if you can steal the maps? Would be really cool if that could be possible in the future.

It's simple really.... yes this could be done... and it would take a ton of work (which is what many of the people in this project are busy doing now)
One problem is that there is a lot of data to enter... a VERY lot.
Another problem is that the data isn't always easy to obtain. Unfortunately, one can't simply "steal" the data (the maps are actually on your computer already... no one had to "steal" it) Some of the data can be collected by watching what the EQLive servers sends to your computer (ie. use a packet collecter) However, not all data is sent to you... some of it is done server side (mobs AC/ATK is one example of things not sent to you) So on these things, the world builders have to make educated guesses.
So, if you want something that is as fully populated as live, as well supported as live, and as accurate as live, well... play on live, it's the only way you're going to get that experience at this point in time.
