I would love to see a server like this, I miss the old UI and stuff. check out
EQclassic, it isnt done and I think the Devs have kinda given up. I wish they would have an open beta or atleast a closed beta to make the development go faster.
in regards of the "no 3D devices" I havnt had that problem before aside from graphics/motherboard drivers not being installed. check out
EQclassic Source and maybe if you get a public server up and running. hit me up and i will help out with development and stuff.
I have downloaded and tried to set up this server and I cannot figure it out.
