Tagline: The reference EQEmu content database, playable as a server

EverQuest is the classic 1999 MMORPG set in the world of Norrath. PEQ - The Grand Creation is the flagship server of ProjectEQ, the open-source content database that powers most EQEmulator servers in existence. Launched in January 2010 and maintained by the PEQ database team, it serves as the live reference build for the quests, NPCs, and game content that the wider EQEmu community relies on. As a server it runs a relaxed, no-restriction custom ruleset, functioning both as a playable destination and as the canonical content source for the emulator scene.

Relaxed Ruleset: No-restriction custom server run by the database team
Open Source: Quests and content are community-maintained and freely available
