patching yet again

In a couple days they are patching EQ yet AGAIN!

Does this mean there is no hope of current EMU in the near future?

Yes there is no hope. So just go find a sever to play on.

Yes there is hope, we are staying at 0.6.2/3 until we get bugs fixed and the database starts to fill up. With DoD coming out I think Sony's gonna take a break and work on changing some stuff around(new UI on live :P) and working on DoD as it really brought out some new oppritunities. We can catch up to live easily as long as Sony doesn't majorly change packets and encryption, which I doubt. Hoever if you have a live subscription you can help us take care of 1/2 the reason we have paused by collecting packets to help us build the database with. And if your a coder with a compatible client help by working with the source and fixing bugs and overall improvments to the system. EQEMU has survived this far as it is open source and we have a entire community working on the program and the database.

I do dabble with coding, what exactly can I do to help? I have active accounts atm, but that is short lived. I am more interested in running a server. So sure I will help. Just need to know what you need, and if I have the ability. Thank you Steff for the reasonable reply.

Really, just keep it to yourself, or waste time elsewhere...

From the last i saw in a thread on this board that there were only 2 developers so i wouldn't get your hopes up to high. The devs do this on there free time so I don't blame them for wanting to freeze on this version. every patch they do it changes the network code there fore evertime the devs have to fix,add,redo etcthe networkcode for eqemu. the devs do nothing but play the catch up game time after time after time.

Granted there maybe hope but sometime way down the road maybe not just don't get your hopes up to high then get mad if it does not happen.

If you don't like the truth skiper. Don't cry about it.(No I'm not Flaming) Point is, Devs are working on the NOW emulator. As posted in many areas.
Example : (Which we are freezing on).
Sooo if they ever decide to Work really HARD to get it up to live again, I bet they will post it on the General::News

I've seen at least 5 people submit patches on these forums in the last few months, so I don't think "2 developers" is quite right. Maybe there's only 2 people with CVS commit rights.

Rather than saying "don't wait up cos there's only 2 devs" say "hey, great opportunity - post your patches and everyone can have a look".
