I was just wondering about what eq2emu is starting at, xpac wise, and will it be the same as the original, zone wise, etc?

Yes we are starting with the shattered lands (frostfang and darklight as starting zones and not the isles) they will be done according to how they are currently on live though as it is the easiest for our small team, we will do the islands but it will be towards the end of the shattered lands work before we move on to the next expansion.

I cant wait to do the islands! No other place in Norrath can bring back that old time feeling, and I want to chop down those bees again.
