I like Arley's idea about a full conversion mod but with No Magic in the book world it would take away a huge portion of what the engine can do. This is why I suggest a Lord of the Rings conversion. I have read the books many many times since I was about 5 years old and just like most Fantasy Epics, it has the features that would excel in the EQ engine. You have your Dragons, Orcs, Gobs, Ogres (Giant Kin), Trolls, dwarves, elves and so on. With the Max4 import tool I am sure that we could rework the zones abit and make them more Tolkien feeling without to much trouble, and I am not sure how Emu would handle it but we can always add new zones.
The world is massive, prolly ten times what Verant has in place and could provide a true Artistic sense to what we are doing here. The possibilities are endless.
If anyone is interested you can email me at
jb_kunkel@hotmail.com, I am not very good at programming but I can model well in 3DSMAX and I can input data into the DBs as needed. Also, I am sure this goes for many other than myself, but I have a very good knowledge of the Tolkien series and could definetely work with Content teams to ensure the world is honest to what it is supposed to be.
Just a thought, let me know what you think.

This Kinda goes with Arley's Mod Idea, but how about LotR?
