Stand alone
I'm a little new to EQemu, but let me start by saying I'm amazed at the progress so far. WAY TO GO GUYS and/or GALS. I was wanting to ask (this may have been answered before in another way). Will it ever be possible with the help of EQemu to run EQ as a stand-alone game? The world and quests and Items and Mobs just like live EQ but with the big mobs scaled down so 1 player can kill them. And run the Client and server on the same computer. Make it like a standard RPG. I know that if all zones were running at once it would kill any machine it was on. My thoughts are to have it start a zone while you are zoning in to it and kill the zone you just left. The only exception would be if a quest requires two or more zones to run at the same time. IE. Killing mob A in zone A then spawns mob B in zone B. That would require both zones to be running at the same time but other than that only 1 zone running at a time. And then maybe a few friends could connect to quest together as a group. Each running the hybrid client/server combo and they would just sync, so any player that crashes would not take the entire game down. Like a distrbuted server cluster.
