EQ2 Emulator?

Doesn't ANYBODY care about EQ2? :'(.

Can I at least buy www.eqemulator2.net and re-start this great project?

I care, I just don't have any C++ skills. I would love an EQ2emu. Also, I don't have a live account. I wouldn't even know where to start.

EQ2 is really pretty and I like how the tradeskills are integrated. I do wish more people who knew how to program in C++ and had a general idea how it worked would jump in.

As for me, it'll be some time before I can help. (I plan to take classes in programming at main campus)

P.S. While www.eqemulator2.net is an offical name. Ever think to reg www.EQ2emu.net so people could type it in faster? Then later you could buy www.eqemulator2.net when it times out and set up a redirect.

If EQ2 emulator was out, I would likely be tormenting their site admin rather than Mattmeck. But alas, here we are...

I need to learn C++ (Or C#). It would be fun to pioneer a new EMU project. I'll call back to this in a few quarters.

I already have a server, so as long as I can speak and agree with a team of 2-6 individuals, I plan to create this EqEmu2 website and move all discussions there.

I bet we could get more info EQ2-related than on this site. code snippers, injections, packet sniffers etc... all EQ2 related...

So who's in?

Hey folks EQ2Emu mod to the stars Aaden Here, DONT TRY TO START A EQ2EMU!! You will get nowhere as far as where we were when LE was shipped off to Afghanistan. You guys seriously just need to wait it out until he gets back and we can straighten things out. Also you guys wouldnt be able to comprehend the immense knowledge it took to get the early versions out. We had alot of help from people within the mmo industry on what to look for in the code and general structure of how each client works etc. So please, just wait it out and save your self the hours of going wtf. Also eq2emulator.net is down because its hosted at krushers and Rogean hasnt had a chance to bring it back up yet. So yeah chill.

@Knight:

I'm not sure if you're familiar with this, but there are numerous World of Warcraft emulators that use completely different routines to emulate the server in terms of algorithms and network code. I believe that the more people work on an emulator, the more will be exploited and easier ways to do things will be found. I doubt Professional C++ Programmers and Network Analysts will say 'WTF?'.

So, as a conclusion, I'd rather not 'chill', but I'd rather broaden my horizons and absorb all that knowledge you say you've absorbed by creating this ALPHA-emulator.
