From the admin:
Hello all, we are happy to announce the public launch of the Divine Reapers Emulated EverQuest server. Our primary focus is meticulous attention to detail to all Mobs, Spawns, and Quests to make them as live like as possible, including the environment and dynamic quests. We intend to keep the server open to the public on EQEMU's login server (look for DIVINE REAPERS). We hope to be a benefit to the EQEMU community and eventually become a perfered server down the road. Our community is at your service =).
Right now we are maintaining a 99% network uptime (world server, and zone servers) with a maximum of 20 users ever online so far. Our database is custom but credit is given to PEQ for their starter .sql, everything from Luclin and later is custom and meticulously copied from Live and Allakhazam by myself and my wife.
Right now we are finishing up on LoY with near perfect LoY spell quests. We will be offering open house on these zones spuraticaly to allow players to come in (zones being non-combat atm) and allow them to pick out any errors we may have over-looked.
Also as we are kicking off our server we have a TON of GM events lined up. YOU ARE NOT TOO LATE! We have only completed 3 of 20 GM events so far to introduce our server and allow player/GM interactions.
So far we have had:
1. Overking's Return to Power in Tutoriab
2. The Test of Might in arena
3. Open house and Dev intros in Gunthak
The rest will be announced as it progresses!
Our server is VERY community oriented and you can read more, and get involved at

The Game Master System
Currently we have a staff of 8 GM's; 5 of which are very close friends of each other, and have played together for years on Live some even family members of each other. As our server population grows, so will our need for service type and developer type GM's however we promote from the inside of our server, meaning we will promote a level 40 before a brand new level 10.
