Yes, it's the real deal. The Emu is not 100% current with live EQ. The server I spend my time on (Irreverent Server) is only up to Gates of Discord, but that's around the time I quit so it feels like "home". That said, I'm not sure what the exact state of the Emu is with respect to Omens of War and the later expansions and features, so it could be that GoD or OoW is as far as things have progressed.
Sony doesn't seem to care much, probably because all Emu servers are free and it's not like everyone here would go back to live EQ if their servers shut down. It's just not worth their time.
Servers are stable, instances work, etc. There are some bugs, but they get fixed over time.
It's possible someone here remembers that name, but I have yet to run across anyone I knew from live. That said, if Lymm, Metabolics, Aandien, Velamon, and a host of other folks from Clan of Unity, Sign of One, Night Eternal, Nightbane, Paralax, or Elemental Dawn are kicking it around on here I'd be happy to see them again. =)
