I'm completely out of the emu loop, and would like to know who is currently working on adding more expansions to emu, and if they need some support. I'm aware that it's difficult and tedious work.
 
If you’re talking about the client, brainiac would if we’d let him (but we won’t). If you’re talking about content, PEQ.
 
Akkadius would be the person you would best of talking to, who would be able to advise what they need the most, hes mainly the main figurehead atm, and hes very talented,
 
I was wondering this as well honestly. I was thinking a new client for EQEMU hasn't come out or (afaik) been worked on since 2015 when RoF2 came out.
I didn't really dig into it, but figured maybe the EQEMU devs either burnt out working on new clients or just couldn't progress any further for one reason or another.
I could be wrong, which is likely.

Akkadius and Secrets are the big developer names I could point out in the EQEMU community.

I know Akkadius and a few of the others have servers they do as well, Akk has PEQ and EZ, so I think they have a lot of various projects to manage overall and are not fully dedicated to just furthering it past the current setup. I know PEQ is the most "complete" version and they are working on getting up to Dragons of Norrath next. Omens has been the norm on PEQ for a while so for reference @Redbot content is generally multi-year before release.
 
One of the fun things about Emu is custom content like Ultimate EQ or Enines Profusion. I'd love to see someone figure out how to get bigger bags working afaik they are still stuck with 10 slot maximum on bags.

Big bags would be awesome, everything else as far as EMU is concerned is pretty solid currently.

I never played Ultimate EQ, but Profusion was my jam for like 6 months. I wasn't a big fan of Devestation but before that I had something like 4 full groups of characters I would go around raiding things with. Getting those exp swords and money rings for everyone, Astral weapons, etc.
 
I love EMU. I still have a box dedicated to it. I like to running around on my own server and tinkering with the database. :)

It’s more about providing the client than it is about burnout. You want everyone using the same client (or a set of same clients) and you need to have a place to get that client. Originally RoF2 was chosen because it was the one distributed by Steam, which meant everyone had access to it.

I agree, I think the emu servers that do custom content are the most fun. But the numbers don't lie for sure, the longest-running servers and the highest population ones (PEQ, TAKP, P99, Laz to an extent) all are some form of legit and not full custom. Granted there are many boxers, but that's true on a lot of the custom ones as well. I think the hard part with the custom ones is once you chew through all the content you're wondering what to do next and end up moving on.

I also think this is why they haven't had a new client. UF/RoF2 were on Steam, Titanium has a disc. So those were all stagnant clients they could work with that wouldn't be disturbed by patching if you didn't run it. I don't think there's been a source to get a stagnant client since RoF and I'd be surprised if there was another opportunity to do so in the future. I'd love it if they did, seeing Adv Loot pop over to Emu is the thing I'd like to see the most. But a physical disc or another steam release is probably not in the cards (in my opinion)
 
the reason they was stuck on Omens for a few years, is because how they changed shared tasks etc in DoN, believe its getting close to being ready now though
 
Oh boy. If we could stay pace with the live client on Emu that sure would be something. I'd love to see more resources to the Emu guys. One painful day, live might just be gone. Then what do we do with all of our free time?

Any resources to the emu guys gets a big thumbs up from me!

I was chatting with Ailia earlier. They said they will probably bring things along further when 64 bit hits. For now the client is at rof. They said it requires an enormous amount of time to reverse engineer etc. Not for the faint of heart.
