Can someone please start a new pvp server

The server doesn’t need complicated rules. It just needs antihax with limited to no intervention from “staff” other than fixing bugs and stopping trainers. The only custom thing I’d be interested in is PvP deaths sending you to east commons or something to add a sting for death while also preventing bind rushing. Maybe an option to summon your body with a two hour Rez effect debuff to act as an automated loot and scoot. If you could really find some immersion and coding then adding quests and itemization to underused areas of classic EQ would be cool.

I can't remember if it was VZ/TZ or LoZ but one of them had some amazing custom events. Everfrost caves raid? I'm not some purist, I want to capture the spirit of EQ pvp, not some cardboard carbon copy.

Been thinking about the idea of one toon per person, single box only.

you're thinking of the rile event from VZTZ 1.0 aka daxum's box

which was probably the most fun i've had on EQ but the community is way different now in a very bad way

I am a software engineer and database expert willing to work on a new server. I would admit that I am stuck on a 18 year old elf sim blah blah blah. Truth is there has never been a better MMO than EQ and broken/unbalanced as EQ pvp was nothing better has emerged. One or more might have but $$$ on the millions has trumped any attempt at making a game fun.

Side note my expertise is on programs but add in someone like Agatha appears to be to run customer service and handle that aspect then any problem you can post has a good resolution based on community control of the server.

What is the tech stack that eqemu runs on? I know I love working on 20 year old platforms.

To answer my own question ...

EQEmulator is a custom completely from-scratch open source server implementation for EverQuest built mostly on C++

MySQL/MariaDB is used as the database engine (over 200+ tables)
Perl and LUA are both supported scripting languages for NPC/Player/Quest oriented events
Open source database (Project EQ) has content up to expansion OoW (included in server installs)
Game server environments and databases can be heavily customized to create all new experiences
Hundreds of Quests/events created and maintained by Project EQ

I'm sure we can code up a new server in no time! Someone get going on creating a Docker image.

Image, will you start a server and do all the work but make none of the decisions?

already doing that since devn00b is running season 5 of zek, I am just making the code changes he asks for. But you probably don't like his plans either haha.
