Last of the S2K server

Would love to resurect S2K however that C&D from sony means me and Scorp cant.


The server was good enough that donations paid for the box it was on for years, we had people come back after 2 years of being away and there characters were still on our server because we never did a single character wipe.


I have mixed feeling about selling the DB as he is doing however the support offered is more then worth the price for someone who does not know what there doing. People have offered a lot more for someone to get there server up and running.

Maybe I'm failing to understand, but what is the difference between say ressurecting S2k and making modifications to it to work with Titanium, vs. the current version of EQEmu with the latest PEQ files? At least the S2K version is mainly original setup/configuration... I'd think they'd get more upset at the PEQ's where you get to play on the same as Live (Granted, way behind, but still, the content is the same for the first few expansions) for free, vs play on a modified version of their server with completely different spawn setup, mobs, and items...

The S2K server had it's own database and quests, which included about 200 populated zones and over a dozen custom zones that aren't on sony or peq.

As for converting it to 7.0, I have toyed with the idea but it is a nightmare to do. In addition, the version S2K is on has had fixes added and merged in to the point where I would say (and I am sure mattmeck and others will correct me if I am wrong) that it had features about 85% functional and was extremely stable. 7.0 isn't anywhere near that yet.
