Current emulators?

Iceflare · #1 04-11-2006, 05:22 AM

hello, I did a search on this site for mmog emulators, found some topics about that, but they were outdated. Does anybody know an site that is currently open that might have info about many different ones. I am mostly interested in ones similiar in gameplay to EQ/DAoC/etc, rather than UO style. And ones that can be played on an LAN and over the net.

I would appreciate the help, thank you

P.S. if different people do post, I will make an compilation of all of them and check to see if they work and then post a new topic specifically to list those...would help maybe. Also, is it fine to post server links here?

So far.

While I was working on getting my EQEmu to work, I ran across a Lineage 2 emulator that was fairly easy to get up and running. Two good websites to get you started are:
http://l2j.jot.com/WikiHome
http://forum.l2jserver.com/

It's java based, and wasn't all that hard to setup. It's easier to get the L2 client versions to be the same as well. Longest part was actually downloading the L2 client, which runs about 2GB.
Also had a WoW emulator running, but it was really hard to find the software; Blizzard has evidently really been cracking down on those.

Edit:
I also had a DAoC emulator running, but I couldn't get the quests to work, or the mobs to drop items, and I gave up on it when I found the L2J server. You can find most of the info for it at:
http://dol.psykonikcorp.net/
and the databases can be found at:
http://www.doldata.fleetingclarity.com/
I know that someone is working on a FFXI emulator, but haven't been able to locate much information on it yet.

Ahh well, this is one of those forums where edit can only be done for a certain amount of time, even for OP, can't keep it updated very well that way lol

http://www.swgemu.com/forums/ SWG emulator, in progress. have to copy and paste or have javascript disabled... otherwise clicking on the link autodirects you to legoes or teletubbies?!?!?!

World of Warcraft server connection thingy, just click on WoWFE. Also has servers

http://www.wowstatus.net/

Only problem with WoWFE is that it just tells you which servers you can connect to; it doesn't let you download the actual software and databases that you need to run your own server. I did look through a few of the server listings to their homepages and found one or two that offered the files for download. What I would have given to have been able to find one of those a while back when I was actually looking for them.... lol..

This site should have all that you are looking for:

Yeah, it would, except that they no longer report on emulators and haven't since June of 2004. It says it on their website that all of the news about emulators is anywhere from 1 to 5 years old. It is a good starting point for older games, but for any fairly new games, there won't be anything there.

I tend to agree with you a little on L2J, sdabbs, but the graphics were pretty good for that game. That's the main reason that I first started looking into it. I played the beta when it came out, but it was impossible to level because people were camping the towns and killing every low lvl toon that stepped outside of the city walls.. lol.. I'm just waiting for a fully working EQ2 emu now, so I can setup a private server on my lan with no lag.. heh

I hear that.. EQ2 has been my favorite so far. Far better than any other MMORPG that I have played. Its a shame that the EQ2Emu site is down though...

Not down, just in a break... Gotta wait till Lethal and Image come back

My 2 cents: EQ2 had good things and bad things, just the bad things flew up after the good things ran out...

Pros:
1) Guild Houses
2) Tons of quests for Gear and levels
3) Awsome graphics
4) /pizza

5) Tradeskills and skills

Cons:
1) Ran out of quests after hitting 15
2) Forced to group with players
3) Solo Exp sucks
4) Most other players suck too
5) YOU lose exp when group dies
6) Cash was too hard to get after you run out of quests
7) Being forced to group becuase exp sucks otherwise and then still getting very little more becuase of newbies in the group, SUCKS

Once again, EXP SUCKS HIGHER UP.
9) once you run out of the low level quests, then next thing to do is to switch town, but wait you cant unless your under 18 levels (*gasp*) OR wait untill your level 40+ to do last quest for unlocking forgloks and fabled flowing black silk sash or w/e :(

one last con... Lags like a retard in a wheel chair trying to chase a dog.
