Hi John,

Infact i like the idea of having 1 server and get it populated. Based on my experience: in 2007 the pvp rules were awesome. My wish is to see a server with rules like :

-make leveling much harder s othat peolpe wont lose their goal.
- steal title / lose infarmy
-shard recovery loss of experience
- pvp avail in cities without any rules, but maybe more guards to make it challenging. pvp avail in inns and homes ? ( i know thats evil )
- possibly lose a piece of gear when lost in pvp
- make pvp a goal so that people are motivate to pve for experience and gear. and raids to be able to win in pvp
- make the game more solo based
- keep the xpacks minimal, as more zones causes population to scatter
- Maybe an start with zones introduced in 2004 at the very intro of game and keep it that way for a while so that people experience their old memories
like when my pa was a alive and he used to ask me to get on the game and play the track in common lands.
- dedicated GMs to prevent exploits and speed hacking


how close are we to an emulator server to go live?

I can answer this.... Since I don't think anyone really has. The servers are live right now. HOWEVER I am not sure how many people would want to play them in the current state. You are free to come on in and pound away any of the online servers as they are open to the public. I would say they are in Open Alpha state. On "Norrath Reborn" you can go and pound on many of the mobs and melee is very stable. The quests are very scare to come by and the only fun that will be had will be watching your foe at your toes; twitching as its soul leaves the body. On Eq2emulator they have some quest going in the starting zone but after that they will be few and far between.
