The Grand Creation is the ProjectEQ EQEmulator server. The primary purpose of this server is to facilitate collaboration between the members of ProjectEQ on the database. This server is always running the latest and greatest PEQ database, and as such, the release databases are all made directly from the database. This is done to give players the opportunity to contribute back to the project by reporting bugs on the forums.
We believe that The Grand Creation provides the best, closest to live expierence avaliable on EQEmulator. We have very high standards about what goes into our datanbase, and who works on it, to provide the highest quality database avaliable. We use only packet collected NPCs and spawn points (with exception of important and rare quest NPCs), and combine all avaliable community information to fill in the gaps that packet collecting leaves behind.
The Grand Creation is one of the longest running servers avaliable, run on a dedicated machine, on a dedicated connection. While this server is considered a test server, it is still one of the most stable servers avaliable. If you are looking for live-like game place, no server is better.
The ProjectEQ team would like to make the players aware of what the priorities are on the server. The first and foremost priority for the server is database development. Second, the server is often used to test new EQEmulator code being developed. Anything beyond those two purposes (aka playing) is a convenience provided to the community, but will take a back seat to either of the primary goals.
Please keep in mind that because The Grand Creation is primarily a test server, there is very limited in-game support. Do not expect a GM to be online or able to help you with issues. The forums are the only official mechanism of support.
