There are always custom servers abornin' - see
www.eqemulators.net in the general conference for announcements.
In my case I'm working on a Trilogy server that will launch with pretty basically Trilogy content (and I'm not a slave to Classic-ness, see P99 for that!) then roll out new expansions based on the feel of Trilogy utilizing the best of what SOE released (e.g. PoP will be pretty close to stock except no PoK and books) while customizing content and mechanics. I've already got some folks helping drive the expansions with things like new ranger mechanics and tradeskills, feel free to click on the launchpad link below and comment.
