Lots play Titanium on EQEmu cause so easy to find on internet but not that many people buy it - however EQ2 Emu have nothing and make it very hard for me

Thousands of others have managed, so you can too.

Good luck.

Thousands also want to play/test out the EQ/EQ2emu servers, but can't because it means they have to buy the game (again).

Is there any way to base it on something downloadable? Perhaps in the future, when we completely emulate it correctly, we can strip the EQ2 name off, or (god forbid) form a bond with SOE, to allow people to enjoy the game for free. I know we're still in the process of forming the emulation, making it a bit counter-active, but if we could find a way to allow people to play without buying, we could have a huge burst in productivity. I know, for sure, that many people want to test these servers out, but can't because of being limited to buying a game. People dislike paying a single cent for a game nowadays. :3

encase you didnt notice EQ 2 emu is dead in the water. They can base it on patches, just like WoW but dont have a big enough dev team.

I'll repeat this for poor John Adams

you must have a LEGAL copy of either The Shadow Odyssey OR Sentinels Fate (not yet working)

And to purchase The Shadow Odyssey can be as low as $5 USD if browsed in the right sections.

Not so much as to why now, but as to why in the future. You will ask yourself again, and will come to a conclusion. Nonetheless there's a high extent of hope intertwined in the quilt, and the threads are slowly developing. I suggest you allow the floodgates to break.

This will burden you upon repetition. :3 Suggest a look at a new fathoming thought work within the shadows of doubts.

Many will be disappointed by this, as there already are. It's acceptable that you allow the method to flow, thought it is only a small flow towards a direction, if any. Drinking from a bigger stream would be more susceptible to allowance.

Dude, do you sit and refresh a site that spews out poetic insights all day? That's Amazing.

As for client acquisition, this project has, and always shall remain, in the best interest of SOE's anti-hate machine, and shall never henceforth condone the use or discussions therein of any means of acquiring said client other than smacking down cold hard cash for a copy from SOE-direct, or any local retailers or online eCommerce emporiums.


As this is an Open Source project, please feel free to take the source code and create your own project better suited for the floods of folks you seem to be under some delusion that exist... because regardless of client access, if anyone was interested in EQ2Emulator, they'd be here now. They aren't, 4 years later, thus I conclude all this pseudo-intellectual rhetoric falls on as many deaf ears as have my pleas for assistance in as much time.


Adieu, der Mensa.

When time stands still, it's easy to see what will happen.

I have no idea what that means. Nor anything else you've said, tbh.

Maybe because all I'm used to are gamer-geeks that can't spell

I'm going to take a stab in the dark here.

What I think Eru is trying to say, is that in the future we should probably forge a better bond with SoE, or somesort of making the Emu easier to access. IN THE FUTURE <- I believe was the key phrase.

With his last statement, which befuzzled the heebejeebeez out of you JA, i think was trying to say that we are looking at the here and now, and arguing against the future by looking at our current standpoint.

If I have been right, I might even go so far as to counterclaim your future sixth sense. (Wow, crappy sentence structure )

Point in case being Eru; we'd love to do everything we can to get hordes of people playing, and helping. We'd love to do all of those things in the future. What we are saying, is that as it stands, and at this rate... There isn't gonna be a future for the Emulater. (Yes, that typo was intentional)



But I'm just guessing.

The Future Is Now.

Exactly.

I only open the gates, so you don't have to push them open; since the gates were always ignored in the first place. Now you have to herd the cattle in; we need the shepard, and its wool, under the sheep it carries, to form the barrier between what's lost and what isn't. If the the shepard simply wants to lose its sheep, so be it.

Though I'm guessing your intentions are different than what I'm about to propose, yes, your future IS now. The future of the emulator isn't what is going to give you the present, as is the present of the emulator decides the future. Don't give up hope for the future, for if you hope for the present, you won't have a future.

The universe gives you what you ask for.

If you say "I need a _____" and truly believe that, then the universe says ok, you do need a ______ and you carry on needing a ______.

If you say "I have an increasing amount of _______ coming to me" and truly believe that, then the universe says ok and sends you some ________.

I sincerely believe as eq2 keeps changing into eq2.5 (eq2wow, eq2rmt, eq2bg), we will have more skilled developers just giving up on soe and finding us.

As for more practical matters, I could live with us ever getting to the point of a clean SF install compatibility, but personally refuse to implement anything beyond that as BG, WF, improved travel maps, and the deletion of the Isles was just the point of my personal NGE.

I'm glad there's a sense of realization around here. It will only get better for us.

I agree; as long as we make it compatible, and keep the good stuff, we can have very good game going here, with an increasing population.
