Server name is gay AF - please come up with something less cringey

Does sound fun though!

I agree, it's rather cringey but some survival games are commonly referred to as "Battle Royale" now a days, so it makes sense to use a cringey title so people know what to expect when they enter the game.

Thank you for the kind comments about the concept!

There will be a limited testing period of the current gameplay mechanics this weekend, starting Friday, May 4th 2018 at 9PM EST, until morning time on Monday, May 7th 2018.

Please join us in Discord if you are interested in trying this server out.
https://discord.gg/ZJPk5S

Please see the instructions located in the #getting-started channel for information on how to set up your account and client. The #technical-help channel should be used if you cannot get the game client to run.

The instructions from the getting started channel are below in case you do not wish to use Discord.

-Getting Started Guide:

The TAKProject client and only the TAKProject client can be used on this server.
Obtain the TAKProject client in one of the ways mentioned on the TAKProject unofficial wiki:
* http://wiki.takp.info/index.php?title=Getting_Started

Download our custom spells file and place it in your game client folder. This link will always be up to date. This spell file will always be required to experience the classless system.

*ONLY THE TAKPROJECT SPELL FILE AND THE SPELL FILE LISTED ABOVE WILL WORK WITH THE GAME CLIENT.*

Register an account on the TAKProject forums *only if you do not have one*. If you're confused on what a TAKProject is, you don't have an account:

https://www.takproject.net/forums/index.php

Create a loginserver account at the following URL once logged into the TAKProject forums:
https://www.takproject.net/forums/to...p?tool=account

Run eqgame.exe (no patchme argument is needed) and configure the game client as desired.

For troubleshooting, please post in the technical support section of our discord, located at https://discord.gg/bRaha5

Log into the EverQuest Battle Royale server, and create your character. Only race matters, your starting stats do not and neither does your class or starting location.

Please be aware that Qeynos is a safe area; you cannot PvP in this zone, but you can get your bearings and level up a bit before venturing out in the world here. Translocator Sedina is located near the docks in South Qeynos, she can teleport you to a random Druid or Wizard ring if you ask her nicely.
*RULES*

There is no play nice policy on this server. The server administration has one rule - do not cheat, you will be banned. No second chances.

TAKProject requests that you only create one forum account per IP. If you already have a TAKProject account and create a second forum account, you will be subject to punishment by the TAKProject administrators. We cannot help you in cases where your Loginserver account is locked.

An account ban from our services does not affect your ability to play TAKProject, only EverQuest: Battle Royale.

Do we have an idea of how big/small the world will be?

The world will be just Antonica. This means everywhere from Freeport, to Qeynos, to Neriak and Oggok. Faydwer and Odus will be opened if the server population rises out of control.

does this mean we can't play elf, or do we just start in a different place?

All players start in South Qeynos. Faction has been removed from the area.

Also it just occurred to me that the discord link may have expired. Here's a fresh one.

Antonica is huge tbh. Not sure what pop will be there but maybe something (a lot) smaller could be warranted? Like Qeynos to Halas...
Then add zones if pop is too high.

It depends on what kind of turnout we get, but generally, I agree.

I'd like to shut off most of the zones, to be completely honest, because it encourages PvP... but I don't want a situation like the other Qeynos-area PVP server I ran where there's people camping the zoneline at each location. Most of the zones won't be exp'able in due to the cap.

I think you raise a valid point about the world size, though. I've changed, for the testing period on Friday, the active zones list to be the following:

Blackburrow
Eastern Plains of Karana
Everfrost Peaks
Halas
North Qeynos
South Qeynos
The Nothern Plains of Karana
The Permafrost Caverns
The Qeynos Aqueduct System
The Qeynos Hills
The Southern Plains of Karana
The Surefall Glade
The Western Plains of Karana

Enable Beastlords

A classless server won't have a need for beastlords; other class spells do the job better, and with access to mage pets, you won't really want beastlord pet procs combined with mage pets.
