The Al'Kabor Project (PC/Mac) EQmac - EverQuest done right

[Haynar]

I love watching the patch notes on takp. Brings back so many memories of dealing with and fixing code. And they have yet to really get into optimizing code. Base eqemu code tends to be a tad inefficient.

Its like ... Yep, remember that bug... Oh they fixed that. Hmm, wonder if they missed such and such. Three patches later, yep ... they did.

Brings back some good times.

I love on their boards, when someone is comparing their mechanics, to p99. That gives me a chuckle.

I am enjoying the server. I do like how they police the drama. Maybe too much, but that will keep the dorks out there from focusing on p99 for a change.

Its still fun there. Level 10 now.

So Destiny on Takp are the same exploiters from eqmac, and thats the guild the ppl running the server are mainly in?

Or just the same top guild name?

Need this info if I ever wanna chase joining a guild....

Destiny were far from exploiters....they were the happy family casual guild on EQMAC, LOH was in any guild that would take him.....he got booted multiple times from different guild.

One being Exodus/TSE.

Destiny on takp is leveling slowly and doing their thing.

I would love to be in a top guild, just for guild chat. I can stand them better. I rarely get to group or raid. I would just be that other guy in guild chat.

I hear ya, Haynar. Server does get lonely at times when soloing >_<

PEQ folk banned LOH a few times from PEQTGC, if i remember right. I doubt they'd let him play here.

Should make a p99 guild on there... you know, for shits and giggles :P

[Haynar]

Ewwww. A p99 guild? Gag. Kinda threw up a lil in my mouth. Yuk.

Ya Layonhands been suspended multiple times on peq, no suprise. He was the one training malignant while the lvl 1 war per training destiny was an ex guildy of destiny who got kicked out and the same with the person training temerity( ex tem member). Lot of respect for some of the destiny members, but I know some of them were complicit and/or just enjoyed the fact that malignant was being trained.

I really had high hopes for this server but at this point I haven't liked a lot of what's going on so far. Much appreciation to the time and energy spent on devs and testers alike, but there is a big disconnect between some of the player base and the gm's. Since the player base is so small anyways, it is going to hav a big impact on the server IMO. Over a year ago I asked a friend who was involved in the dev group about trying to help out coding but was basically told that the dev team was hard to work with and almost impossible to gain their trust. As to the truth of this I have no idea, but seeing some of the stuff pop up now makes me thing their is something to that.... All unfortunate because it's no small task for the work the devs do, and it's "their" server, but was hoping for a server that embodied the best of eqmac.

So since the lead GM has decided to give everyone the green light to go exploit the bug, Destiny has been power leveling their sub 30 Mains and Alts by grouping them with their level 50s in Sol A. At this very moment there are 3 full Destiny PL groups going on in Sol A. It is a sight to behold.

The fact that this isn't being patched immediately is just another sign for the downward spiral this server is in, and the blatant favoritism. After all, they used to take down the server immediately to fix such exploits as a 70% drop rate on the Hooded Black Cloak or to change the order in which certain NPCs will cast their spells from their spellset, or simply just to reset a broken Cabilis West zone. But for some reason, even though half of the server is using a known exploit to level up at this very moment, it will take them at least another 2 to 3 days before this bug will be fixed.

Insiders have revealed Destiny is now only 3 to 4 weeks away from tackling the Fire Giants, and we all know Vox and Naggy will be released right after that !

Speedz and other officials are not willing to comment on the situation at this moment. They are more concerned with finding out the true identity of yours truly to end my crusade for a LEVEL PLAYING FIELD and FAIRNESS.

I will keep fighting the good fight!

Sincerely, Bleepo
Hero of the Server


Edit: Pretending you are a new player trying to get started on TAK and asking me for my ingame name to chat is NOT GOING TO WORK, Speedz. The same goes for lame ass attempts of making me post on the TAK forums. After all I do not break the rules, and will NOT create a second account there, and I am not going to reveal my identity to a forum troll. Amateurs..

Not too concerned abt current exp exploit. When cap was 65, took a few mages to put in VT, from 0-55, emp keyed, emp kill, in 8hrs total played.

Doing a PL is easy.

Allowing exploits to stay, so guilds can mow down raid mobs. Well, that ruins things.

Fight the fights that need fighting.

My goal is to be at least 50 by the time SoL comes out.

I agree for the most part... But when things seem in favor of a guild and there is already gm's in that guild.... Does not give for a bright future for the people who aren't in that guild. And judging by past things that happened on eqmac just adds to it. I really really hope this server turns out great and that I am just reading into things that aren't there, but for now I am going to take a break and see how it unfolds. I still have p99 for now, but I really want to raid me some luclin and pop.

You cannot tell the effect of the GMs in that guild yet. Many will think favoritism even if its not. Who cares. Play. Have fun.

You will find what you are looking for if you search hard enough. You will see things in a biased nature.

If you want what Destiny has so bad? Join them.
