Takp is much more stable, p2002 has much more content at rhe mo, and what feels like a higher pop. Id say Takp feels more like p99 and p2002 like a bedroom server. If the content were on the same expansion then Takp would be a no brainer, but having more content will always attract a larger pop.

One day P2002 will follow TAKPs lead and release stability, netcode, and mechanic updates. Oh wait....

First VP raid went well today, Kunark will be down soon and on to Velious before too long I'm sure.

After a few days trying Takp out I'd say the active pop seems to be almost exclusively in the end-game levels, most zones are dead and most of the people online during US offpeak are afk bazaar mules. Its a shame, because it is a really stable server, never had a single crash. Feels pretty much like p99 in those terms. However, the *other server* has a very nice pop these day with new people constantly joining so I wish you would kiss and make up and merge the servers to a really good one with both stability, content and population. Kumbaya!

Sorry to say it fellers, but being able to box is a huge draw for many people. There are some people who dual or single box though.

If the servers were combined it would have a very nice population.

Takp was created to preserve the Al'Kabor server. That is still the purpose of the project. Including getting the mac ppc based client running someday too.

P2002 has the goal of being a PoP era eqemu server. P2002 advertises a lot (its actually one person, who used to spend most of his time griefing the takp devs). Has double exp weekends. Hotzones. Faster content (which may or may not be completely finished). These attract people. They like "easy mode" EQ. The majority playing on an EQEmu dont care if its polished. They dont care if some quests are not quite perfect. And they for sure don't care if its like AK, since most didnt play on AK.

Those that want to relive the AK server experience. Play on takp. Its as simple as that.

P2002 does look like they want to change their image. They got Eunomia leading that effort. But bridges got burnt. They put out new policies to stop harassing of other servers/admins. But they don't enforce them. Its just boiler plating. With GGs new efforts to try and help people do RMTs on p99, he should be banned on p2002. They ignore it, because why?

i tried this server a few weeks back. really really nice. for some reason i zone in like 1-2 seconds on this server whereas it takes 5-7 seconds on red99. not sure why the big difference but pras. one thing I had a problem with though is i would crash every couple of hours, usually while zoning. i am guessing this is due to the pc client. other than that good shit and if i were to ever play a blue eq emu it would be this one.

One thing with the old client, gotta run windowed using eqw.exe or secrets mods. If anything in windows takes control in full screen, you crash. Even a popup on the status bar crashes in full screen. If UAC dims screen (or anything changes gamma) you crash. So need to change UAC settings to not dim screen.

Working on a fix for the gamma change crash still and an all in one windows/full screen option.

Most of the causes of crashing while zoning got fixed like two weeks ago. People are reporting that they havent crashed zoning in over a week, since that patch.
