Very concerned about combat and spells as you guys have EXTREMELY limited data.

Reverse engineering EQ1 is one thing.

Recreating VG combat, spells, and classes is entirely another.


I have to say I don't have much hope for this project to be anything outside of an "emulator" something where you can sort of feel Vanguard again, do some quests, kill some mobs, maybe crawl a dungeon. But without the real VG live combat, VG live mob values, and complete VG live itemization etc.


I appreciate you guys creating what you are, and its come a long way. But this is a huge undertaking with a lack of data. I just don't see how you get spells and combat emulated properly here. Now on to a possibility that has been mentioned by some (VGemu staff is not involved in this in any way)...

I realize it would be "illegal" for a sys admin to dig a Vanguard build up from the vault and leak it. But that's what this project needs, is real help from an angel. It is entirely possible to do this and not get caught, and keep it entirely anonymous. Rerolled still has a few daybreak employees posting/lurking (rarely), maybe I'll write a plea and call to action there in that thread....

I'd imagine since the move from SOE to Daybreak offices its possible that not even 1 build is available and that its been moved off the network since nobody needs access to it. Which makes one of us rich guys hiring a hacker completely worthless (just kidding I'm not suggesting that....hehe) waste of money. You could still hire someone to investigate, would it be against the law to point people towards resources that specialize in "data recovery"?
