Well, one of the more interesting things that made Everquest enjoyable again using MQ2 were the following features I still have active in my MQ2.ini:
-Infinite WaterBreathing
Automatic with ISXEQ2.
-Infinite Buff timers (removed awhile ago in Everquest, but still something i'd <3)
Most buffs in EQ2 have no duration. They don't even cancel when you die.
-No encumberance
There is no "weight" in EQ2. (There was, they took it out).
-Warping from one side of a zone to the other, or just 20ft back & forth so mobs couldn't get into melee range with me. (known as "Range Keeper""
There is no warping in ISXEQ2. It's a pretty quick way to get banned.
-Movement speed changer (I was told recently that EQ2 devs put in checks now to keep this from happening anymore?)
There is no speed hacking in ISXEQ2. It also is a quick way to get banned. Generally speaking Amadeus provides us with automation tools, not "hacks".
Uhhhm......Infinite potion timers? A friend of mine who used to script for Mq2 found out how to get infinite potion timers in EQ, but he hasn't played for 2yrs now so not sure if that's EVER possible in EQ2.
Not available in ISXEQ2 (Don't think it's possible either).
Etc etc....I'd also be interested in a script that allows me to use 1 character as a "main" & automates the rest into roles similar to that of mercenaries in EQ1 (e.g: I don't have to tell them to heal, buff, or nuke/attack...they just do so all on their own if my main toon that I'm driving attacks something).
EQ2bot and OgreBot both do this. Both are adventure bots. EQ2bot is a preconfigured bot that has options on how you want your character controlled. Ogrebot (I'm the developer of it) is a fully customizable bot, to which you need to enter your abilities (via a UI).
I often find that last part (team automation) to be very cumbersome, hard to do, or just plain too complicated for most to even get working let alone use affectively. I'm interested in it simply so i can run heroics by myself that most people do with full groups (I have 3 account, but i'd buy 3 more if i could do something similar to this!).
Many of us have 6 and just group by ourselves. I personally have cleared all the heroic zones by myself (with the exception of the newest content that came out this week).
That's all i can think of for now that i'm looking for in an EQ2 MacroQuest replacement

THANKS!!

ps: You mentioned that your radar is no longer "Restricted", does it add mobs & player locations onto your map like MQ2 does in EQ? Or, is it just a circular HUD that overlays onto my screen? Additionally, does it have any "range" issues? I heard that zones in Eq2 use "cluster servers" to break zones apart for easier population management.
It's restricted by what is available to your client. In EQ1, it sent the entire zone information to your computer. In EQ2, it sends only the information that you need (your surrounding area, which is based on an in-game option - rendering distance I think?). So you are limited by distance, however it's a pretty solid distance (IMO).
