With all due respect, I am curious. You have that kind of skill and knowledge,
but you're not in a position to setup your own test server ?

Fair question. I have set up an EQEmu server in the past but don't have the hardware currently to do it. Running the server locally on a machine and the EQ client is difficult as I am down to just one underpowered laptop. Hence, I came here and hoped someone would let me jump on with them

How underpowered are we talking here? A local one-zone-at-a-time test server doesn't take much in the way of resources. If you have an eMMC and disk space is at a premium, you can leave out the Line of Sight map files which are by far the biggest space hogs. $400 laptops were my mainstay for a long time...

This laptop cost me around 300 euro. Was just looking to jump on with someone but maybe this isn't as easy or straightforward as I thought. Thank you anyway.
