Here are some quotes from our devs before they were on EQ2EMU.
Please take this as fun and don't be mad at me for posting... Thanks

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

Best wishes to you in this endeavor. I am very interested in seeing an EQ2 Emulator, and would provide any data I can including packet capture if needed.

Europe? No, I havent been assigned to Europe although I was there for a couple of weeks. I was working on EQ2Emu when the server that was hosting the project went down for a while. Not sure what happened to it, but I was too busy at the time to try to figure out why. When I got back from Afghanistan last June I had a different set of priorities than when I had left. That is why I havent worked on the emu since then. I kind of figured noone cared about EQ2 anymore so I decided to stop wasting time on something that I thought wouldnt be used. As for the future of the EQ2Emu, your guess is as good as mine. I am currently working on another project that I hope will be completed in the next few weeks and I might revive the emu, but I currently dont have any plans of doing so.

There seems to be a lot of little splinter factions regarding EQ2Emulator communities. It would be nice if we had an official site for it that we could call "home base". I have a site designed specifically for my own Emu servers, but it was not meant to support a development community - just my own private server when it became available (hey, i am a forward-thinking kinda guy!)
I think our first step would be to create the community - see what our assets are. And, if there is no [compiled] loginserver.exe, well I'm out. No way I have the knowledge to sort out all the secret masonic handshake crap that needs to go on between a server and a client.

I shearch on web for EQ2Emu login server files or something like and found this
hxxp://www.cosmichub.com/justin/eq2emu/ it is a fake or ?
If I remember correctly, that was created by someone who was going to design the website for us almost 2 years ago. I cant remember if it was the same person that ended up being our web designer. That site isnt real or anything.

Yes, we have a login server. I am the one who created it for the most part with the help of some of the other devs of eqemu. I still have the source for it, including alot of changes that I never checked into our svn server. I also have quite a few changes to world that I never got around to releasing as well.

LE, you little tease.
Is that bait set for us to start pleading for an update? hee hee.
I'd love to add an EQ2Emu to my collection.

I'm sorry, did anyone else find "French Vanilla" just a little funny?

If I start the emu again, I will focus on getting the original box game working before working on newer clients.
As for content I actually have a large database of stuff from the game. About 2 GB of content in fact (including about 20,000 items, 1300 quests, 1700 recipes, 10,000 objects, 19,000 item listings on merchants, etc) . Almost all of it hasnt been released in the eq2emu db because it is in a different format and I havent had a chance to convert it all yet. Most of it is original stuff from the beta version before it went live. It should be very interesting stuff.

I'll see if I can make a webpage that can display them all. If so, I'll post it on my website.

OK, I have a fairly simple page designed to display some of the quest details like quest steps, coins, and items. You can view it here:
