its nice to see this forum. I have been thinking for long time to develop an EQ2 emulator, but i am too lazy to start from scratch, so, if u need help, i will be glad to help you.
I have long experience developing (almost 20 years), and some games emulator xp. i did my own parser in the past with WoW and got a lot of fun until blizzard banned me
so, just let me know if i can help.
