TAKP TLP Jan 1st 2025

Idk if they did single box I might try it. However at that point how is it much different from PQ?

The launch is 5 months away so stuff is subject to change. Hopefully unlike PQ the changes after launch will be less extreme and more predictable in-line with a consistent vision for the server.

So far it looks like most legacy items won't be in the game. I don't mind legacy items (not that I have any) but I think no legacy is preferable to making rare and overpowered items that were nerfed for a reason into the most easily obtainable items in the game. They also won't be futzing with spawn timers or instances, so the market won't be flooded and the gear you get will be more meaningful.

There is going to be enforced raid rotations, not sure about quakes. I think a lot of people don't like the cut-throat competition on p99, but are also turned off by the live/PQ raid scene. Rotations with occasional quakes seems like a good compromise to me, but I have no idea if that's on the table.

When you say "most" legacy items won't be in the game, do you know what the exceptions are? Like, is there some legacy items they're choosing to leave in the game you know about?

Idk. I like fresh start servers, and so I'd likely give it a whirl if it was a no boxing server.

I just read the thread in the takp forum.

"We have added legacy drops like Guise of the Deceiver, Lustrous Russet, Cryosilk, Box of Abu-kar, Rubicite, etc. - but did not include items that would effect the balance of TAKP live server, such as Manastone, Pre-Nerf fungi staff, Staff of Forbidden Rites, Red/White Dragon Teeth, or Circlet of Shadow etc. The legacy items that do drop, will drop at their original drop rates, and for their limited timespans."

But they later said they're considering removing guise.

PQ dramatically improved the takp database. Low level zones / newbie areas are very unclassic on takp, and it shows on new server release. Secret’s team did an okay job at bodging it into a working state.
