1) Your current characters arent affected. They live on Verants servers, the only way you'd get them is if you recreate them yourself.
2) No files were harmed in this making of this emulator.
Only a simple change is necessary to play on an emulated server, the eqhost.txt file. When you log into live, it will fix itself.. Note that currently live eq is broken in regards to the emulator, so you need a back of version that contains per 10/31 version of eqgame.exe and a couple of other files. Most of us smart ones keep 2 eq directories, one for playing EQ LIVE, one for playing EQEMU.
3) It functions like normal EQ for the most part, not everything works the same, this is being built from scratch remember. Alot of the functionality just isnt there yet.
4) Is there a way for Verant to detect it? Only if you run through East Commons screaming, 'God, this zone is soooo much more crowded than the EQEMU server I run at home!'
5) Is it legal? Well, it's not illegal... Im sure Verant doesnt like it though.
