Heard about it when the original post was made on the EQEmu forums that advertised its release. Like many of the people there, i was VERY skeptic, and knew that was a hell of a lot of work for a guy to do. IIRC the original post stated that Nilbog was the only one currently working on it (yikes!)

I come back one week after the project opened to play on ProjectEQ (i was always disgusted with the project because it had POK and such, but i had to feed my EQ appetite somehow!) and I saw P1999 and yeah = )

Google search...i was actually attempting to figure out or find the info on how to create my own local server so just me and a few friends could play. I found a titanium torrent and downloaded it and in that torrent was directions on how to get started with eqemu so i went there created an account and found this server and i been playing ever since.

From a friend who found it on some Body Builder forums.
