This might be stupid/obvious question, but how do you "win" a season? Have the best kill to death ratio on the server when it resets or something?

There will be a few categories.

Highest KvD Ratio
Total Kills
Longest Kill Streak
Highest Level NPC Defeated

I plan on adding more, but this is what I would like to add. The leaderboard system won't be completely finalized during the pre-seasons period and will be a work in progress while I flesh out mechanics.
I will talk to Speedz about integrating some sort of website that links to a TAKProject account and have a web-based leaderboard as well, so you can see data for past seasons.

Here's what's done so far, copy and pasted from my patch notes on Discord:

-1 IP Box limit implemented.
-Nameless characters implemented
-Tells, Group, and other forms of chat obscure your true identity now.
-Basic implementation of RNG loot is done.
-Classless system is done up until level 20, which will eventually become the cap at launch.
-PVP system - basic attack rules and safezones, have been implemented
-Looting items in bags is now possible.
-Roguelike loot system is now implemented.
-Gate spell has been changed to 30000ms cast time.
-Zones have been restricted to only Antonica zones
-Global loot concept redone:
* Any NPC now has a 15% chance of dropping basic gear/equipment/spells from a global lootdrop. The ultra rare stuff will only drop from NPCs that normally drop the item in classic. Better get those level 20 najena raids ready!
* Enchant Jewelry spells will be moved to Qeynos for this change. (they haven't been yet)
* Famished players (no food/drink and now getting messages that state you are hungry/thirsty) will now lose 1 health per tick, and 1 mana per tick.
* Food / Drink beyond your initial supply must now be fished or looted from other players / NPCs, or crafted. The only food that will show up on merchants is food sold to said merchant.
* Water Flasks have been added to the global fishing table.
* The minimum fishing skill required to fish up fresh fish is now 0.

Horror survival is the best way to play eq pvp. I'm very inclined to investigate how this project is going to pan out.

i'm so sick of this fucking BR trend train. I don't even know why. I just hate it. Fuck y'all.

Battle Royale. Its the new rage in games. Pubg, Fortnite BR, etc etc. A big deathmatch where people fight until only one person is left.

This post explains what that random server is doing on the Takp launcher though.

True night blindness for every race? For the extra sadistic.

Permanent night time?

Big thumbs up for this concept! I'll be there to check it out!

The most important thing will be how cheating will be dealt with. If it people can /warp around or magically guess your class, level and bee-line to you in the middle of a big zone, cool and normal players (such as myself of course) will give up quickly and it will be the same couple dozen of stay-at-home neckbeards who will fill the /ooc with their benzo induced garbage night after night.

Idea: make the accounts non free. Have people pay like $100 to open an account (in bitcoin, monero or whatever). The cheaters will think twice before risking a ban for a YT.

(if you think $100 is too much - stop posting and get a job)
