This may be my dream site

I registered about a week ago but have remained stealthed because I wanted to get as much data collection as I could done before my official sub runs out. However, seeing John's post Future of EQ2 Emulator, I decided I'd best make my presence count towards keeping the project going.
I've been playing computer games since before there were computers. My favorites have been DnD types (rogue, hack, larn, Dungeon Seige, Dungeon Keeper), RTS (empire, age of empires 1-3), and world building Sims (SimCity, Zoo Tycoon). Due to various very odd reasons - all single player games. My first MMO was EQ2 around the release of EoF.
I played the trial on the Isle of Refuge and fell in love. After 7 days, I was jokingly calling it the Accursed Isle of Refuge and just as the trial was about to be up, my EoF key arrived. Having become thoroughly bored with AI mobs in single player games, I choose to roll on a PvP server. OMG it was rough at first, but I didn't give up and I learned how to survive and, at times, excel.
I quit after the nerfing, er I mean fixing, of PvP led to a drastic lack of population. Every time I grew homesick for the game, I checked out the forums and watched, yet another, nerf, er I mean fix, and finally watched the merge of my beloved Venekor into Nagafen.
I resubbed late this winter, having no knowledge of the SF xpac that was just to be released, and was delighted to find a bunch of the people I used to PvP with had also just resubbed - coincidentally also with no knowledge of the impending xpac. They're all gone again due to the lameness that PvP has become and the coming GU56 is the final straw in lameness for me also.
One really good thing came of me resubbing: I met someone who told me about this project just as I was cancelling my sub. I hope I can spend my last days collecting as much data as possible. This project deserves all the help anyone can give it to preserve the EQ2 we all love and leave the EQ3 it's becoming to those who don't appreciate a challenge.
