Some areas are even more night-blind for humans/erudites/barbs on Trilogy/DX7 clients, which TAKProject may support someday when they go open source again.

I'd love to see TAKProject have more people checking it out, though. It's sort of my baby, as I helped mangle the netcode together that they used initially (and then later they perfected.)

They have some really smart people working on the project.

Haynar helps them out with his incredible reverse engineering / coding work.
Torven basically figured out the AC/Melee damage formula before Daybreak even posted pseudocode of the formula, which confirmed his work on recreating it. I'd go as far as to say the code is more era-accurate than P99 is for classic mechanics.
Robregen/cavedude were the main guys behind PEQ past 2007 or so, and they're responsible for fostering the community that made the de-facto database for EQEmu servers.
Speedz brought the chickens in the form of web development work - the account management tools that he's brought automate tasks that GMs would normally do on Al'Kabor - account to account transfers between your own accounts, login recovery, etc.

They have some other folks working on stuff there, but I don't know if they want their identity known so I didn't mention them.

It's possibly the greatest preservation project of a server that no longer exists. Definitely check it out.
