Project Norrath :: Classic EQ Server

Q: What is Project Norrath?

A: The Project Norrath team strives to reproduce the world of Norrath as we knew it back in 1999. Currently in development, we plan to utilize a version of the client that will let us bring back the original UI (user interface), along with the movable Velious UI, classic character models, music, sounds, spells, and textures! To go along with all of this, we are using a spawn database similar to the one in EverQuest during this era. We are building a replica of EverQuest that we knew and loved. Now you can experience the world of Norrath as it was nearly a decade ago. [/quote]

We encourage everyone to join up on our forums as we will be having beta applications in the near future and we would love to keep everyone updated on the status of our project that is interested.

Feel free to spread the word.

Just one question: Are you considering to release your database changes and source modifications at some point in the future?

Don't take it personally but I am getting quite sick of all the work that is lost as soon as a server dies. Yes, having someting uniqe is good for your ego, but only as long as it lasts.

no plans on releasing source at this time... but no worries,if server makes it, i wont let it die

and i might just change my mind later on.. but at this time no plans on that part. sorry

How will you be remembered? or will they even remember you? We're all sitting on the edge of a giant project: an emulator for one of the biggest games ever: Everquest.
Your server and what you do for your server is secondary to what you are doing for the project. Any small piece of code, Perl quest, SQL or anything else you give to the project will carry on for always - That's why I tell people to include their name in what they did, that will become part of EqEmu history.

So many private projects - what a shame.

My thoughts exactly.

I'm impatiently waiting for this

I sincerely hope efforts to improve upon the "classic" EQ world will make there way back to PEQ for submission since said world is based upon the PEQ database for a start...

-- on topic:

We are currently filling in our wiki with classic information that is both common and hard to come by. We have started to build some templates and I have begun to write a script to import all the spells, but we are still looking for people to populate anything and everything that relates to classic!

http://www.projectnorrath.com/wiki/i...itle=Main_Page

Here are some examples of the pages we are working on:

http://www.projectnorrath.com/wiki/index.php?title=Bard
http://www.projectnorrath.com/wiki/i...Zones_by_Level
http://www.projectnorrath.com/wiki/i...nnothule_Swamp

Also, if you are interested in the project and have any thoughts about the mechanics and discussion on classic everquest and everquest pvp servers, feel free to join our forums and start giving the community and developers your thoughts!

EqEmulator.net is a great place to promote, whatever it is you got going - It's like that because project EqEmu has been going on so long and is so advanced, many people come here.
I'd like to at least direct most Forum efforts to Project EqEmu; These Forums were created for that purpose.
If you want to promote another project, put it here in this forum, and be sure to mention you have nothing to do with project EqEmu.
I'm still not sure if I should stop this all together, as this to me really is just a "Hybrid" form of Forum spam.
