I love the non-legit servers for the reason that I can summon up the items I had when I was playing EQLive, and start from there. I really don't want to spend another few months releveling up a character again. I've done it a few times now already for it to be fun anymore.
I want to take a single group into Temple of Veeshan for example. Something a group of my real life friends and I were striving for when we decided that the guild thing was burning us out. Any really challenging dungeon works for that matter.
The only problem with this so far though, is that it's not fun doing a dungeon where mobs don't assist, and all look at you amiably. Every non-legit server I've been on doesn't have aggroing/assisting mobs. Every server I've been on that "does" have aggroing/assisting mobs is a legit server.
I'm hoping for a server that has both aggroing/assisting mobs, and the ability to summon items and command leveling. Then I can truely have fun playing the part of the game I still enjoy... the dungeon crawl, the hunt, the battle. The leveling and aquisition of wealth no longer holds my interest, I want to fight. I want to treat this game like I do Quake2 or any of the Rainbow Six titles. A game that sits on my shelf that I play when I feel like it. It's the exp grind that turns me off about EQ now... the fact that if you don't play every single day, then you fall behind all your friends.
EQemu is my ticket to make Everquest into a game again, rather than a job.
I'd so love to run a server like the one I'm talking about, but my internet connection will never support it (cable, with a capped upload speed).
