This thread is being moved to "General Discussion" since there isn't any actual support request in the original poster's writing. As some of the respondents have already pointed out, you're much better off if you read the rules and documentation -- and pay attention to where you're posting -- before you post.
Everything you said's all been said before. Same arguments. Yes, SOE is aware of our project and a few of our ex-devs have even talked to Smedley before. At this time I'll insert a shameless plug for my wiki article:

It pretty much addresses most of the points you've made.
I noticed your join date was January, so you've had time to keep up lately with current events around here. If you've bothered to check, you should know that there is some talk of making EQEmu compatible with the Titanium CD's. No guarantees, but there is talk. We'd love to stay compatible with live constantly, but we just don't have the resources to do that. Sorry, life sucks sometimes (I think that's what I said in my article too
)
If this thread remains at least a little constructive by some stretch of the imagination, it'll be allowed to remain. Reminder that personal attacks are prohibited -- that goes for everyone. If it gets out of hand, I or one of your friendly neighborhood mods/admins be putting the padlock on this post, and we've got a few padlocks set aside for... other purposes... if need be :o
