EQ2Emu Respark

I wanted to provide an update on the EQ2Emu project as it has some renewed interest lately. We have made some great strides over the past few months with focus in mind on stability, functionality and usability.

Full Login Server has been made public (vs previous minilogin limited to 5 users). Numerous crashes both client/server side have been resolved, new features are being added, most notably support for a mapping and nav system (same eqemu uses).

A play test server has been staged to see the progress taking place and test/identify bugs: http://cutpon.com:3001/en/Guides/HowToPlay

An installer has been made available so you can even setup your own private EQ2 server in roughly 15 minutes: https://eq2emulator.net/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?t=4903

The expectation of our group at https://zeklabs.com/ is to get EQ2Emu up to speed and then offer an EQ2 PVP server experience (rules TBD). The same code/database will be available open source (on http://www.cutpon.com:3000/devn00b/EQ2EMu/ or through the installer).

Lastly our discord is here: https://discord.gg/j92Ay9H
EQ2emu main discord here: https://discord.gg/VkVt6Ck

Hope to see some further interest in the project!

It has been 2 months and to clear up a lot of the confusion consolidation has been taking place.. the numerous links now reduced to these four that can be navigated for how to play/install instructions via website/wiki and resources to troubleshoot/get help (wiki/discord).

Recent highlights from late April-June:
- Housing is now a functional feature
- A good number of the 'classic' world has navigation pathing generated to prevent walking through walls/objects.
- There is still lots of work being done to get the EverQuest 2 release candidate client (circa 2004) working as well.
- Database updates are being made daily to fix zone points, quests, npcs, pathing, etc.
