Here's my offer I sent... way back when.

She said you guys could use some developer hands getting things off your plate. Mostly repetitive/annoying things for the eqemu gurus you currently have like nailing down the rest of quest MQs and faction work.
Tbh, I'd be happy as shit to get my hands dirty in some EQ code and have professional experience/currently employed as a Java (Javascript + Ajax)/SQL/XML+HTML developer.
I'll be honest before I lay out my most sincere offer and help. I have only one reservation with project as a whole. Players cannot come back after cheating or be allowed to get away with cheating. Exploited loot needs to be removed. I don't feel good dedicating huge sums of my free time when that is going on, I just wouldn't feel good about it.
That said, and in line with my previous comment, if I were to contribute, I would want absolutely 0 involvement in GMing the server or handling the player base. I'd be too strict about rule enforcement and a total nazi. Even though I think you should have that here, I know you do not want that.
My mission statement would be to help you guys clear your Kunark/Classic plate and get Velious going which is what everyone really wants, and the crown jewel to your project.
I'd also be willing to help out with PvP resist coding or mechanics, of course pending review of you + anyone else before implementation. This could even just be "here's what we have" without having direct access to code and "here's what values we have for resist rates for each spell". I could fix things and make determinations from there.
I have a very sharp memory of Classic EQ in both raiding, pvp and pvp contesting of raid targets. I was directly involved in the nastiest FFA pvp server guild war to cross classic EQ. I remember everything from what got certain snowballs rolling and how the live GMs (head CSR of Sony) handled them, and the outcomes thereof. I think I'd be a valuable addition. Let me know what you think.

And the crickets did chirp.
I'll just let the bugs sit till they can get to em and wait for Null to win the lottery so he doesn't have to work.
