Will 1999 ever happen again?

the last MMO I felt even close to the same level of immersion Post EQ in was Vanguard, before patches broke things and they weren't fixed and then sony shut down the server.

The PVP server had a thriving community raid vs raid battles for content were fun and happened often, before SOE decided to merge all the servers into one. FTP never helped the game as they didn't fix the broken aspects of the game from prior patches.

FTP also crippled major aspects of the game, like the actual acquisition of loot. It just wasn't worth playing under that ruleset.

But otherwise I completely agree with you. I wish they'd make a vanguard emu. It was the true successor to EQ and the only MMO that ever came close to duplicating the original experience for me.

Still working on it, but the world is there.

Its not going to be like the WoW emu from my understanding. They can't finish the work. They don't have more than 10% of the data needed.

As they don't have any data to recreate most of the things exactly as they existed. Missing about 85% of the entire data on spells, mobs, and quests.

Unless SOE/Daybreak leaks the source code, VG emu will remain exactly as it is right now. A shell world, with developers making a lot of guesses. Its just a fun little project. It won't be playable VG anytime in the next few years, that's for sure.

They have begged SOE devs by email, no response. An insider sys admin programmer would have to leak it very quietly. Otherwise theres no point pretending VGemu is a real thing.
