Well I would really like to have it set up like it is on live. I don't remember people being able to gain faction with the undead on live, so I will probably just use this KOS faction. I could have sworn there was a faction for "the undead" on live, but I haven't played in years so who knows.
From what they say on PEQ's website I was under the impression that their database was very close to live up through Velious. But I am finding out that is not the case. Many of the spawns in the zones we have played in are not the same. Nektulos was a disaster area that required multiple fixes. Spell research is not implemented ( I guess this is a client issue? ) Now I am finding that the factions are not all in either.
Don't get me wrong, I am not bashing or flaming them at all, I don't mind tinkering with the database myself. At the very least it lets me put the stuff I learned in my classes to good use.
I am considering my server a "work in progress." We play and as we encounter problems, I will fix them. But finding information is proving extremely difficult.
From what I have been able to gather, the information about where mobs spawn and what loot they carry is gathered from logs players create while playing EQ live? And then teams like PEQ populate the database with this information? Is there a place one can find all of this information?
