Thank you for your question. We are just a bunch of Board Mashers and fans of Eq2 grasping for a shot to recreate servers in the aspect of the "FAN".
I want to add that all of the eq2emulator community is very important to our success but I'll highlight some of our community below.
The "coding community" is small and goal oriented. Perhaps only about a dozen coders actively working behind the scenes on the back-end. The front end needs a bit of help/work as far as quest generation/scripts before its considered playable for the average gamer. Most all of these coders can be reached via discord chat or the forums.
The "support community" is very supportive and slowly growing. These are the people or hardcore fans that can log in and complete tests with our coders and server admins. The SC varies in size from month to month. These people are the folks we go to to discover how an aspect of Eq2 was/worked during different expansions of Eq2 *Great people in this emulator project.
The "gaming community" for this project is few and far between as we are just not that close to being something people want to play. Although we've had big successes in combat, mechanics and spell mitigation we still don't have some of the big things gamers need like a vast quest catalog the average eq2 player has come accustomed.
Currently the servers that are up and running " Eq2emulator" "StitchPVP" and "Perseverance". "Norrath Reborn" has went down for a programming overhaul and server change. NR should be back in around late November or early December.
Eq2emulator , Stitch and Perseverance can be logged into using the live client from Eq2 which is huge for us for getting the client to people. Norrath Reborn will always only be available to those with DOV or COE client just because all the coding is custom.
Management: Recently we promoted a developer to the project manager and we expect that this will throw some fresh air into the project and blast apart some of our hurdles. We also gained some shit hot programmers so we will be looking for some steam from them.
I hope this answers some of your questions and are excited about our future!
