up side of private login server:
1. if EQemu login goes down we can still play
2. the server number for EZ in EQemu (that change ever damm day) wont effect autologin in MQ2 any more
3. am sure it logs in faster/quiker/like Lightning/i might be lying
I don't know how exactly that works - I know Shards of Dalaya just recently re-joined EQEmu, and had a private server for years.
"if EQemu login goes down we can still play" - granted I haven't played in a while, but... does this really happen? Hardly at all in my recollection
"the server number for EZ in EQemu (that change ever damm day) wont effect autologin in MQ2 any more" - This would be a huge benefit - to be able to log into all 12, 16, whatever, characters automatically with MQ2? /drool
"am sure it logs in faster/quiker/like Lightning/i might be lying" - idk, maybe, it's fine as is though.
Server numbers not changing would be awesome.
My biggest concern would be the publicity this server would lose.
If we lost our EQEmu LS connection, we would (in my opinion) get virtually zero new players, or at least a lot less. We need new players on EZ. Not the same ol' stale T10 guys working on their 6th UW.
