EQ2 Emulator?

[Kayot]

Well, in two quarters I'll be taking C# and C++ classes. While not the best way to learn, it will kick start me. And by that point my EQemu Editor should be finished so I'll attempt to join the team, only one thing though. I'm a broke college student so we need people who will play the game and get the call codes and packets ^-^. I might be able to get an account, but food and electric comes before Online games, and toilet paper.

Hehe, clearly. Keep yourself alive before Sony :P. We just need a few people who will get the packets, I know a few friends and I'm sure some people around here can help. But first, I need the bloody site up :P. Will start working soon.

./sigh If that is the case i will help you with your adventure until you get to the point at which you want to give up. I am usually on irc in the #eq2emu channel

I know you are, I spoke with you yesterday . I'll see you there soon, need to finish up some work and the weekend in around the corner.

So far, I think I can get the Alpha setup properly again.

Best wishes to you in this endeavor. I am very interested in seeing an EQ2 Emulator, and would provide any data I can including packet capture if needed.

Ready to Help if needed.

I too would also love to see a EQ2 Emu, but I have some doubts with it.

I love playing live on EQ2, simply because its more quality then Live on EQ1 was. On EQ1, everyone and there sister was a twinked out lvl 500 newbie. No one understood character dynamics anymore and that just made things suck really bad. In 2, there is more of a balance between Characters. No more uberly powerful lvl 10 people running around with super gear and a lack of what to do with it. Furthermore I havent seen but 2 people since Eq2 came out that were above level 40 and didnt know how to handle there character and their role in a group.

It is with that, that I dont think that I would be as much into a emulated version of EQ2 simply because of the loss of available players. EqEmu was built because we all were tired of the way EQ1 went after the Luclin expansion. Most of the issues in EQ1 no longer exist in EQ2. There are some unbalancing issues, like a conjourer's amazing ability to solo most of his/her life, but thats about it.

But thats just my 2cp worth.

Anyhow, I would gladly help with whatever I could on the new project if we got it going. This project has inspired me to start working on C++, but I dont know how that is going to go. I do know that I could packet collect the crap out of EQ2 though, once I get my account back up with them. I have playing most characters down pat up to about lvl 25 with playing a Conji up to lvl 45. I can get through most of the beginners stuff quite fast so I can packet collect on all that stuff.
