Some people may want the login in server, I do not. I dont think It should be handed out because it keeps us all together, and there is more control over the project. If the login source was given out, we would have tons of sites popping up, with no knowledge of things going on here, and that would mean more problems overall.

Making the move to a new anniversary pack may be a good decision, as tough as it may be. But what about after that one goes off into never-seen-again-ware. I am all for Wind's Idea with the new client, but that is a monsterous undertaking to achieve. More help is better, and that will allow us to break away from SOE, but then what do we call this Project, OZEmu (Which sounds cool btw). It would be great, but not with-out alot of downsides also. I hate that it's like this. Personaly, I wouldnt mind seeing the EQ2 Emu in action, as that would breath life back into everthing. Knowing what we know now about the current Emulator, make the transistion is more or less just make the compatibilty work.

I just discovered the whole SoD thing yesterday, as I was looking around going, How do they do that since your patching up, then it hit me, with there methods to allowing you to play. Not going to go into it, as it's a big no no here, and everywhere else. I dont like it, but what can I do. /sigh

Angelox, you are very right. I never in my life would of though I could do anything with mysql, but when i look at it now, I am supprised by how simplistic it is, time consuming, but simplistic once you know what your doing. As far as coding for the emulator itself, well, lets just say I'm 3 years old again.... /sigh

I kinda made the OP inlight of how I used to remember the emu, back when we had peeps like Shawn319 (cant forget that huge sig he had), devn00b, image, WR and S2k, back when we were chasing live. Oh those were the days, I had a 15gb HD and having two things of EQ installed was killing me. Things were more active back then, because thats all that was out back then. EQ was where the cool people hung out, and then people hear about the free version, with all its perks, and then they come here(how I heard).

EQ isnt all that big anymore, most of the people on the MMORPGs today dont even know about EQ and how it was. WoW is the king now, IMO soon to be Vanguard given its features. Most WoW people know EQ as EQ2 as well as most EQ2 players. You show them the graphics in EQ1, and they scolf like WTF is that lame game.

But not me, and not most of us here. We know how great it used to be. Most people moved on, like I said, to greener pastures, and I have come to realize that now.

Anyhow, Im going to shut up now, As I can go on and on and on, but post space is limted, and overposting should be a viloation of rules.... lol.
(What the heck is he thinking, making me read all of that!!)
