you should probably submit some of your work and let them take a look at it. im sure if you did anything remotely cool they wouldnt have a problem letting you in. (as long as you put in an app).
My Stuff isn't good enough for SoD quality/complexity. My server is Classic with a few changes to add content and Quality of Life improvements. I added Mayong Mistmoore who is on par with Innoruuk in difficulty and a few other World bosses to classic content. SoD is a bit of an inspiration to the changes on my server, but will never be as different of an experience to the original content.
SoD is a completely new EQ experience
My server is the same old classic experience with a few new attractions.
I'm also having an issue with Charm not breaking when a player goes invis. It showed up with a more recent source code update. With the Titan Cliant players can /pet get lost. with the UF client that doesn't work.
