TAKP Tentative PoP Release Date

[starkind]

Should be a single box GoD server with full titanium client.

That is the only server a guild should be proud of winning.

Everything else is just casual.

sure people will play it

but do you think devs would want to start up a whole server for pop

and regulate it as hard as p99?

fuck no

it be a fucking nightmare

a single box pop server will never happen and even if it did it will be a disaster

Could you even imagine of p99 was regulated hard? Even the insinuation is a fucking joke. The box owners and Gm's treat the ability to play on p99 as a god given constitutional right. You can metaphorically go up to rog/bog or menden's desk and take a giant steaming shit on it and they'd thank you for it and give you a cheeky slap on the wrist.

Could you imagine how great these servers would be if they actually banned cheaters and/or the unmitigated raging assholes that shit up the server(s)? There's about a dozen toxic pieces of shit, some of whom are also rampant cheaters, who should be shown the door on blue alone that would result in a veritable utopia among the raid guilds on the server.

Having antisocial players helps reduce population and reduces server hosting costs.

Man all you guys who love post velious make me almost wanna grind that out.

The level 1-59 experience doesn't matter if it is classic if you're gunna wind up at GoD + + + anyways so the live tlp servers seem like the exact recipe for youz guyzez

Oh dang its the automatic boxxing power u get?

Its true NOT being able to beat content on your own is really a core tenet of everquest. Regardless of the (rare) 2 box people that paid for 2 actual subscriptions, the fact is that EQ was 1 character per player role playing game and you weren't supposed to be able to win on your own.

So ya I get it.

Tunabros you took a lot of mad pills lately i dunno man. P99 team could do whatever the hell they want and decide to make a post velious game just for the hell of it.

Every blue player that didn't go to alkabor like immediately definitely missed out on the good times that no-more-upgrades- server had for several years longer than the other servers.

But we're all chasing after the wind here. I'm a classic era guy with preference for vanilla. I'm nostalgic for early days of p99 just like I was nostalgic for early days of live everquest.

Casinos, account trading, then server cross trading, these things were all super fun to me and I enjoyed the way the server felt more like a community on a rogue emulator box and people were still not really sure they could commit their life and well being to an EMU.

Heck, even these messageboards used to actually have more than a handful of people actively participating and creating threads. I think that the discord new media channel should be nuclear bombed and the offline p99 community should come back together.

But I dunno. It's mostly just us here talking to ourselves and hoping that all the stuff we throw into the air combines to create a general sense of what we hope p99 team will do with these very nice and reliable and well run servers.

Are the raid rotations GM enforced or is that some sort of player agreement that a new guild wouldn't be bound to?

[Tewaz]

I don't know if it is GM enforced, but I know everyone at the high end is 100% in on it.

The big secret to adding Luclin to a classic timeline server is the amount of raid content in Luclin is absolutely insane.

Players are very loyal to their guilds on TAKP and when I played I saw a new guild try to climb the ladder to VT and it was rough on them.

There are huge skill/gear checks along the way to the top and you either have the requisite toons and knowledge to do it or you don't. The amount of player investment on that server is incredibly huge with guilds having strategies they don't share outside the guild. It's pretty cool.

Even if you don't make it to VT, you can still progress through ToV/VP into the lower tiers of Luclin and have an absolute blast. Luclin has so many zones that are incredibly difficult to do stuff in with a max level trio.

[Naerron]

if p99 released a branch of blue and let people copy their chars over for a luclin then pop server, i would bet around 15 mil plat that the server would see numbers around 3-4k daily during pop.

TBH, all raids aside, what i know most of us really would love, is a chance to do AA xp on our 'main' char again. And this would get us more inline with classic live EQ than anything else because it would make people focus on their 'main' again. I was a 5 day a week raider back on live for a solid 4-5 years and rarely did i see people with multiple raid geared toons, and i get the time lock has a ton to do with it, but, i'd argue that the 'no boxing' rule has a similar affect on the server as it would be if most people had a reason to stick to a 'main'

Seems like a golden opportunity for them to release the single character per player server that so many people obviously want, but they don't seem to fully appreciate how much demand is out there. Sooner or later they'll give it a try. When they do I would not be surprised if they end up exceeding P99's population. The EQ-emu community seems to harbor a large proportion of the raid-obsessed crowd (much larger than the original game) that EQ MAC's Planes of Power era catered directly towards. From sitting over here, it looks as if they're sitting on top of the proverbial gold mine and are too unsure of themselves to make use of its full potential.
