Who's stealing? Looking through my chest of discs I come across this box.. it says 'Everquest'.. it has a rather large price tag on it. You realize that eq plus expansions costs around $80... think about that. When was the last time you paid 80 bucks for a game? If
anything can be considered 'stealing' it's Sony charging me $80 bucks for a game and then telling me I'm not allowed to play it unless I pay them a monthly tribute.
The game costs money and (we assume) we all paid it. The monthly fee is for the server costs. It would only be stealing if one were to either a) use warezed files or b) used any set of files on eql without a properly paid for account. Seeing as how my money went into Sony's bank account for a legal set of cds I take offense to your accusation of theft. To so blatently accuse the players of EQEmu (or were you accusing the devs as well?) of 'stealing' because we choose not to deal with Sony's machiavellian regime is ignorance.
That being said...

Sounds like they're doing a good job so far
Seriously though.. what exactly were you missing... bazaar spam? Uber guilds camping everything?
Heh.. ok.. I think I know what you're talking about.. all I can say is give it time. When I first logged into to EQEmu and noticed the server I was on had no quests, no faction, the mobs didn't agro or run or cast, and I LD'ed on every other zone.. my first thought? WOW.... Sure it was buggy, sure it wasn't good enough to 'play'.. but I was very impressed with what had been done. You can look at it and say 'this sucks, too buggy and eql is better' or you can say 'wow, this is amazing what they can do.. I can't wait to see what happens next'.
Right now it isn't really that close to the real thing... but why assume it could never be? The code will improve, eventually eq patches will slow down and come to a halt allowing the emu to catch up. No we'll never have multiple t1s flowing into multiserver rooms.. but hey.. we also don't have 100k n00b druids to deal with.
Maybe it will never be close to the 'real thing'... but that doesn't mean it won't be quite playable and enjoyable. Heck.. if it were ever exactly like EQL I'd have to quit it just like I did the orig
