SoD is very different from normal EQ. I think they have a decent sized player based, but they keep themselves fairly separated from this project. I know little about the server even though I did try playing on it a little. You should have no trouble finding their website and reading up on them if you just do a google search. But, if you plan to play there, you might want to make a copy of your EQ directory first. Otherwise, their patcher will make it impossible for you to play on any of the normal EQEmu servers.
There are quite a few custom servers on the public server list, and I would recommend you maybe try them first. Most of them have websites for their servers, so you can read up ahead of time and see which one sounds the best to you.
And yes, there is a project in the works for EQ2Emu, but I think they still have a ways to go before they have a fairly finished product. But, if you have the correct version of EQ2, I think you can play on their beta server.
