New progression server is happening! Players will decide the makeup and ruleset. They sound really excited about it, and it's not going to be another fippy. I'm guessing they're going after the classic emu server market here.

The weekly / bi-weekly update initiative has been canned. EQmule has been saved!

I feel much more confident about EQ's future now than I did a couple weeks ago.


Also, fuck you Holly for giving shoutouts to fanra, zam and eqresource but not RedGuides.
