I've been toying with the idea of playing around with server and client software for EQ. I've been thinking about auto-clickers, and also about serverside emulation. I have been an intermittent user of Eqemu for some time but I still have my live account and play mostly on that.

I dont know if what I have in mind is taboo to you guys, but if you can help me forward it is conceiveable that you have another mind working at the inner workings of EQ and I can help you in return later perhaps?

At the moment I am trying to fathom out EQ's connection process, what ports are used, and what information to send and expect back. What ports does EQ use for all the various data, a flow chart would be great if you have one! hehe...

My aim, hopefully not something you guys disaprove of, is to write some small tools to help me in game. Keeping an eye on spawns, and doing my monotonous tradeskills and skill up clicks for me. That kind of stuff, usefull things that I find boring in game.

To do this I am most interested in learning as much as I can about the connection between EQ server and client. What data packets are sent on what port, what format do the data packets send.

Perhaps by helping me now, if you have the information to give, I can return the favour later.
