sorry if it's rude i just don't understand. seem like you're gonna torture yourself....... QQ
I think my post on the server's forums pretty much sums it up:
Quote:
To be frank, my intention for the server was never really to make custom content, but rather give others a place to mess around with EQEmu with the latest version of PEQ by making it non-legit (#summonitem, #level, etc). Not everyone wants to go through all of the steps to create a server, just to be able to have a little fun with the high-end content, although I try to leave explanations for bug fixes, etc, so that way if someone DOES want to, they don't have to reinvent the wheel to do so Smiley

I originally made it as more of a testbed for myself, as well as a place for a few local people to play on, although it seems to have become a little more than that (610 accounts with a total of 1222 characters as I am writing this since I put the server up around 9/30/07).

I know PEQ is getting pretty close to having the elemental planes & PoTime up and running, but PoTime is basically one big quest, which takes quite a bit to not only code but figure out logistically. Once PEQ has this updated, I will make sure it is updated to the server.

If you're wanting to help out with getting the Elemental Planes & PoTime running properly, I would recommend checking out PEQ's site. Not only would it help to get the zones up and running, but it helps for a lot of others out there as well Smiley
If anything, this is more or less an unofficial test server for PEQ. As a result, the players on the server have helped uncover several issues with quests and spawns in the PEQ DB, including wizardanim fixing up the HoH trials, which now work pretty well.

As for your first post, I'm not sure if that really has anything to do with the server. The fact is that the client doesn't have the models & graphics files for the newer items, although you can patch in the item icons manually. You can still use the items, minus the spells & effects.
