What I think would help, like saweb said, is to get what is there out. LE might like his LS code and have a hard time giving it up, but if everything was readily available for everyone to use, like ManGOS and Antrix, you would have more people able to jump in and help out. You start putting the word out on the street, get a base of operations up that people can come to, website, IRC, forums ect... and things will take off. I am sure that the LIVE EQ2 community has quite a few Developers in it that would love to take on a side project, for the game they play.

One person can not do it alone, plain and simple, its just too much. You need your family time, your self time, more time, and if your the only dev working on something like this, lets face it, its not like making a File Compression client or something. We need to get a base, get people involved, and things should start to roll out and take off.

I like what saweb did, but, I have some critisisim towards a couple things, but the goal behind it is what counts. Now comes a website, forums and what not. I can only assume, but I think that LE should not be focused on the website side of things, as thats skills and time wasted. Teams have multiple people that are talented in multiple areas. Get a website admin to take care of the internet prescense, troops to help push the product to get others involved and then hopefully the devs interested will show up and things will go.

I personally, would love to have a EQ2 server emulator. I can tolerate WoW, I like Guild Wars, but I am a EQ Fanboy at heart, no matter how you cut it. EQ has give me countless of hours of enjoyment, relaxsation, and fun. Only fitting that it travels to EQ2 also.

Im going to shut up now before the fourm cuts me off from having to much.

Agreed.

Although I never really meant to *change* the project name, I thought that a codename or "community name" would be a great thing to get people watching.

If you dont like it, or dont want it here then it should be changed, my bad.

Anyways, im sure LE would have his reasons for not releasing the code for a community to work on. I hope he returns soon to shed some light on this. . . . What do you intend on doing with this project? Will you release the code if you have decided to leave?

Thanks for all your time and dedication
