To me the whole point would be to have it run from android device itself to take advantage of it's power efficiency to do either things play it via Linux/Wine or host a server on it. It sips power compared to a typical PC. I think it's more feasible today, but probably any of it's efficiency advantages are a lot less intriguing with the more efficient x86 CPU's available now. Not to mention capable older x86 CPU's that you could undervolt/underclock to save a lot on power.

You build a C2Q LGA771 mod adapter server for chump change these days and just undervolt one of those server chips which many of them had highly binned energy efficient lower TDP designs anyway that are still very decent CPU's.

In terms of just playing EQ on Android the Shield TV Console should be able to do so fairly trivially maybe even at 4K resolution EQ is not graphically demanding it's old as dirt. Basically all you'd need to do is run Linux on Android and use Wine for Linux and run EQ.

I'm pretty confident that if Shield TV Console can modestly emulate Wii Dolphin Emulator EQ wouldn't even be remotely challenging in terms of performance.

I think getting away from the nasty x86 intel monopoly would be an excellent reason.

Wouldn't it be possible to have some kind of "side game" for EMU that allows players to do a basic quest that would translate to positive experience in the SQL database?

Would this leave too much vulnerability?

Kind of thought this could be a cool way to earn some XP doing some "turn based" version of EQ away from home, then jumping on your PC at home and you got XP or Items or Plat etc.

Big diff between a phone app and a real video game, lol

playing EQ on my android phone would be very cool!

I have been playing various games for a long time but rarely use my phone. Probably because of the small monitor, I just do not like to play on the phone.
