If anyone has a repository for these let me know, Drawde's work from what I can gather greatly improved the flexibility and functionality of the emulator so having these will also be helpful to learn from.
It's not a big deal not having them, as I can easily just add data in myself to the stock databases to test out features or see what their status is, but having a larger pool of data already ready to source in and interact with will just save time and make things easier to see. I've tried all of the sources in the archives including links submitted by other peoples sequencing of theirs and drawde's work. Everything from that era DB wise seems to be dead. I browsed through everything in you guys posts for DB related materials but couldn't find anything.
Any more help would be great, but at this point isn't completely necessary for understanding the core functionality of the EQEmu.
Kindest Regards~~

I would suggest looking at the PEQ Kunark release. This is the closest you'll find to the old DB schema, and what I was using for quite some time before I basically did a clean slate for EQClassic. You will have to remove a few database fields, but for the most part, it is largely the same. Also, you have to do some tricksy work in Excel to get the grids from the 2grid system to the old old OLD grid system.
Best of luck.
