EQ Emulator... Nostalgia

[Fediel]

I know there are a bunch of EQ emulators (and UO and the like) out there that serve as replacement client/server systems. Replace the EQ login servers with these and presto you connect.

But I don't want that.

I want to run a prepopulated "classic" EQ server, connect with a client and set my level to 50 and run around Cazic with a full pop of random lizards and maybe a Golem or AoW.

Be able to have GM powers and not start from level 1, killing moss snakes.

Anybody know of a program that has classic EQ mob data already programmed in that is available for download and not a static server with other players?

EDIT:

So others do not have to face the indignity of coding their own emulator and programming their own database, I share with anybody who is interested:

Buy this: Newegg.com - Everquest: Secrets of Faydwer PC Game SONY - PC Games

Download this:
Project EQ

Play EQ in your own little sandbox (or connect to other servers).

Server Pack
An automated setup program that installs EQEmu and the database with little user knowledge or interaction. Please note: The update packs may be newer than the full verison listed below.
EQEmulator Version: 0.7.0-1110
Database Version: 0.7.0-1110a
Maps: Download

Click the Download link.

Then install Perl and MySQL, following the install instructions.

THEN you have to reboot and install EQEmu.

Then you need to configure minilogin.

THEN you should be able to edit the eqhosts.txt file and finally once the server is running, you should be able to log in.

Jesus fucking Christ. Google motherfucker! can you use it?

I obviously googled it first. Didn't come up with anything except actual server side emulators. I want to download the server, prepopulated with mobs, etc. Doesn't have to be current - can stop at Luclin or such.

Did this really need its own thread?

You sir are completely clueless

[possible]

One of the few EQ threads that didn't turn into a circle jerk, it's not too late.

Sorry, we have female dark elf mercs to jerk it onto.

I have not come across one or obviously I would not have asked. I didn't see any other single computer client/server EQ emulator threads. So yes, it did deserve a new thread.

Seriously - does anybody know or do they just not exist?

Let me google that for you

Here's a thought for you: run the bloody server on the same computer

Your posts in this thread make it pretty evident that you probably don't have the ability to get it running however.

Clearly I would run it on the same PC. But I need one to run first. One that is prepopulated with mobs, items, etc. Not one that I connect to and create an account on. I want to mess around with it for a day or two, not spend a week or a month leveling up.

Does EQEmu actually have prepopulated items / mobs / spells / etc? I went to the site during my first searches and while it is open source and downloadable, it didn't seem like it would do what I wanted.
