which means two things,
a) eqclassic.org as an entity is probably NOT going to host a server themselves and,
b) someone else would need to take over responsibility of not only hosting a server, but also setting up ALL of the relevant npcs, items, etc using PEQ's database (or I guess p99's, if that's publicly available? still not very likely)
