Reseach on EQMac while we can

[koros]

EQMac is the last bastion of (mostly) classic mechanics in existence. It's gonna be gone soon. I'd put it out there that anyone interested in helping the server be as classic as possible (or future servers down the road) should make characters and raise bug issues or takes notes while we still can.

there anyway to get a "code dump" or something along those lines so we have it all if someone wants to create a eqmac emu..or if p99 ever went past velious?

It's sad never to see the classic sky, water, spell particles, character screen, UI or anything related to classic eq clients again. At least not without tons of work.

What about the classic bugs from eqmac? Some existed on live, were almost entirely unknown before they were patched out, but were pretty powerful. I guess it wouldn't be a classic bug though if more than a handful of people knew and used them!

SoE would have to give us server side information for that to occur, and I don't see that happening anytime soon. Hopefully they at least retain the code if they decide to make it open source eventually.

i am pretty sure the main gm/dev will accidentally release the server cod to someone. he seems cool and has always supported the continuation of eq mac.

He could face serious legal issues for doing that tho.
