Default They're Making an Emu ... of EverQuest Online Adventures?
I never actually played EQ Adventures (the PS2 port of EQ), but I only heard that it was just a lame version of EQ Classic.. So, I was surprised to see that there's an emulator project for it (active in 2024!)

Thoughts?

i bought a ps2 for it when the expansion came out and played it for about a year, the actual world i like better than classic eq but the limitations of a ps2 controller made raiding/inventory management awkward

Now I'm curious: I thought the EQA world was just a (worse) copy of EQ classic ... what was better about it?

Never played EQOA but I wouldn't mind giving it a shot since I was far too entrenched in regular EQ at the time.

Yeah, after Ekco's praise I'm starting to get curious too.

EQOA was an original project using the EQ ip, not a port. I never played it either. Mmo on console just seems.... nah.

I didn't know anyone who had a PS2 and actually connected it to the internet.
