How much?

Does it include the login server? And wouldn't that be making the EQEmu devs upset because the login server isn't supposed to be released?

It does NOT include the login server, that is run by the developers staff as always. The one we used and you would use has some custom code in it to support a secret project we had been working on, but I am not free to talk about here. That project *is* included if you want to continue with it.

The package includes

200+ populated zones including custom designed zones

player accounts and player characters (gives you a potential starting player base) these are the way players left them the day the server shut down

custom items
custom spells
quests

custom code (including the source)

a copy of the s2k website (excluding forums) with the data and tutorials it had

some notes, etc

general utilities we used

the "secret project"

general support from myself and Dindoleki to help you get it running

we've been getting $200 per copy

Oh... erm... I don't mean to be rude... but thanks for your time. That is much more than what I was thinking...

I am a C++ Programmer myself and will probably try customizing the Emu.... but $200 for a modified open source program is too much for me.

It's more than just modified code.

It's a complete database with over 200 populated zones and an existing player base. It has custom quests. It's tested and stable. It also includes support in setting it up by the people who ran the original server.

And best of all, with the exception of a few ini file changes and bat file changes, it's basically plug it in and start it up.

I understand that it may be too much money, but we decided to limit the number of copies we would release to keep the number of clones down so there wouldn't be 100 poor quality s2k servers out there. We decided to charge for it to ensure that those who got it were serious about it.

We might be willing to let copies of the source out for less money (without quests and database) but I would have to talk to Tark and Myra about it since they have been co-serverops since the first day the server came online.

Not that we would.

How do you sell an existing player base to different people? are all of those players going to guarantee to be on each server bought? sorry just curious how that works.
