Lucid Zek server ... not by SOE and not EQemu?

[Charmy]

Due to my question about the login server part it sparked a side discussion on the login server process and how they could be doing it without using the eqemu loginservers. There may have been some negatives posting about the way they are doing the process, but hey, they have it working and if it works for them great but others may not like it for themselves.

Well i have said it many times, i am not a very skilled C programer but if you have the source for eqemu world.exe you can easliy understand how it connects to a login server and what information needs to be sent between the two programs inorder for it to work properly, so would it not simply be a matter of writing a program that would be listening on the correct ports, and then sending the proper information to world.exe when somone is logged in or not? i could be very naive here becuase i don't understand exactly what information is send back and forth, but i don't imainge it would be a difficult task for a talented programmer.... would it?
