Looking to assemble an open source Vanilla EQ Server

[merlock]

I'm with you akka. What do you think about everyone just working on their own "classic" db and we all just sharing our dumps along the way and kinda building things that way? The only problem with that is it may be hard for us to maintain forward compatibility if any changes are made to standard PEQ that are required for new server compatibility. Thoughts?

[Akkadius]

The approach the project is already taking is that the entire PEQ database and EQEmu source should be designed in such a way that all expansions should be able to be toggled on/off and have the whole thing function regardless forward and backward. Everyone working on their own database, fragmenting and duplicating efforts is what everyone has been doing for years and it doesn't work

Ok understood. So lets say we have an awesome peq expansions query system where you can push a button and get your database modified to a certain expansion. Then you would just fork your database to make it custom from there? But then how do you, as a custom server owner, make sure that your forked database stays compatible with new server code?
