you are right. in opensim we have a development team that is working on server itself. then a person builds a special for those that want to not deal with everything. then another team builds one for a certain grid. then a person build the soas usb version.

so i got BitRock to give me a open source license yesterday for EQEmu. its for all OSes so that is good. i also want to find someone that can take EQEmu and put in all inside a container, like soas. the only thing soas doesnt include is the client because there are too many clients. but it is easy to set up the client.

I think the Fear expansion should be the new baseline. everyone should download the steam F2P because it wont last that long but long enough until the next release.

so i am going to work on getting EQEmu to Fear as best i can. also i am going to work on a usb version. and of course the document for it.

so far, i have all the external programs that i need: perl, mysql and installed. i have 2444 and compiled it. i have peqdatabase-Rev2294 and peqquest-Rev2294. of course there is no Rev2444, but i will deal with that later.
