The problem with the TLPs is they use modern combat tables, so player character's defense and offense is boosted way over what it should be. It's like playing in god mode.

EQEmu servers and just playing on Live are the only real options.

Look into Vaniki. They're attempting to compensate for that and make it harder (or so it seems?) by lvl capping everyone at -10 levels under the current expansion. They made some custom tweaks to allow spells to land and shit. Remains to be seen how it'll work out obviously.

TAKP is a non-starter for me almost solely due to the lack of scroll zoom on the client. I tried to play it once and I just fucking refuse to deal with that. I honestly have no idea how anyone could legitimately recommend Red at this point in time. Even outside of how bad EQ PvP is like... It could be the best thing on planet earth and I still would have a hard time recommending ppl play a 10 person server. Especially one where the entire premise is PvP.

I always peter out around PoP/LDoN on TLP's.

I did TLP a few times. Definitely a lot of nice creature comforts, and I enjoyed it, but it just feels like I have to rush to do everything since I'm so casual, I can't keep up, even at 3 months. Not to mention the servers feel more like Chrono grinds than anything else, but yes to me LDoN was that last quality content, then everything after just felt like the same stuff 5 levels higher.

Teams servers actually tend to do pretty well. Before p99, we had VZTZ. The problem is every emu since has just done full red for reasons that bewilder me. Teams was the most popular ruleset on both live and emus and easy to see why. On full red it becomes completely inaccessible to new players. On teams there is incentive to shepherd in new players.

But yeah no client zoom is just dumb. I'm about as #classic as it gets and that's far too obtuse for me.

'[' for first person view and ']' for third person camera 1 view. Camera zoom is for wow players.

as someone who killed sirken a whole lot on vallon zek during that time, I'm pretty sure the only purpose first person camera served was to even further tilt things in favor of casters.
