Defiantly has my interest, but that should come as no big surprise I kind of had this general idea nearly a year ago actually longer than that, but I first spoke out about it on the forums in a thread called DotaQuest somewhat sarcastically just gauging interest mostly. I had termed it DotaQuest due to the crossover between Dota/Moba meets EQ.

Apparently it worked at garnering some interesting because Nerdgasm got interested in the concept itself and himself and myself hashed out a lot of ideas on it.

I kind of lost steam after awhile on the development of it though honestly at least I did, but a big part of that was it just felt like a huge undertaking and I was a bit skeptical about the amount of developer helping hands that would or could be acquired towards the project itself.
I did however release some big list of illusion spells and mask templates around the idea however. Basically I took pretty much every race on EoC race viewer and make a illusion spell for it and then make a illusion mask for each of those which I had setup in somewhat of a formulaic methodical system of sorts with resists and armor values and also some bane damages towards another race type. It could defiantly be tweaked more, but it could certainly serve as a pretty decent base or base idea.

Here's a little SQL of where I took the PEQdb 2H weapons types and simply converted them all into 1H equip items instead, but they obviously retained the 2H graphics. I figured it could be a interesting way to add different unusual fresh visual dynamics to the game players aren't accustomed to. Could be useful for Champion templates for this kind of project I believe.

I even showed off how some of that looks as well and ways you might utilize it.

Anyway can't wait to see what you do with this project Packets and hope some of the above may be of use for you with it in some shape or form. I see tons of potential for a EQ meets DOTA/MOBA EQemu server personally. The fact that you've got a legit map true to the DOTA/MOBA genre is a huge bonus much more authentic.
You may want to have a additional alternate version of this map without water or just a modified design placement of it and turning the map into a symmetric 4 sided alternate version based on it for some 3v3v3v3 and/or 5v5v5v5 that could incredibly addictive and fun.
You could do defiantly do a ARAM map as well I'd highly recommend that's my favorite LoL map it's awesome Riot turned player base created self restricted game mode idea into a actual map. It's just so straight forward and fun is the cool part about it.
This is turning out really great from looks of it Packet. This could surely end up being awesome from the looks of what you've shown thus far. Defiantly wish you luck on this project and hope you get a lot of additional help with it.
