Don't like their customer service? Host your own EQ Server!

I'm sure you guys have the people and resources, why not just host your own free server and have your own GM events???

haha, I've tryed out eqemu and it's alright, it could use some work but if FoH made a server, I'm sure with some dedication they could make a pretty kick ass server. Some donations and you have a server that can handle 500 people at a time maybe. maybe. would be cool to see though, I'd help.

You'd spend more time maintaining and creating your server then you would actually playing it...

and still, even with eqemu, the aggro code, pathing, melee damage formula, are all totally and completely horrid.

theres so so many reasons that 'hosting your own server' just isnt really an option.

There's a lot of messed up formulas.. However someone at SoE made the mistake of posting testeqgame.map, basically a roadmap of all the functions in the client. Should be interesting to get a more indepth idea of how certain facets of the game works, now that we know where everything is
