I have quests going on and have some zones set up diff then live . I do this for me , I have more fun setting things up in my server then I do playing live, I have 4 live accounts and spend more time on my server then I do in game, I only have 3 people at the most on my server and I hope they like what they find there although I know there is still alot of work to do . If i had one wish for this project it would be to stop trying to keep up with live and all work toward a common goal of taking the code we have now and perfecting it , there is only one way to ever keep up with live and that is when EQ is over . if all of the time that has been spent fixing code that live breaks were spent on perfecting what we have then these servers would be awsome. These of course are the ramblings of a mad man but who knows , mabey theres something worth thinking about in there .

this may be my first post on these forums but I would like to say that when I compare EQemu to other projects (eq related or not) I found it much much harder to find what was needed. There are a ton of tutorials and I thank those of you who put your time and effort into creating them but I felt like I was digging for a needle in a haystack trying to find out which database was the latest and greatest, which version of the server worked with what and vise versa, eventually I found the installer which worked well minus a few trivial bugs. What I'm trying to say is that yes, everyone the right to be proud of their own code and the right to keep it to themselves but the key to keeping up to EQlive is twofold, organization and being able to throw your pride out the window and say "we have a common goal, lets work together"
