Project 2002 - The Age of Al'Kabor

I am here to tell you about our EverQuest Emulator Server, P2002. Here at P2002 we strive to emulate the best era of EverQuest, the Planes of Power. We have a motivated staff with the intention of releasing content in a timely manner to avoid congestion and stagnation of the server at all costs.

P2002 was launched on 20th of March, the Ruins of Kunark expansion followed on 19th of June. Besides that we have also launched Optional Odus Zones (The Warrens, Stonebrunt Mountains and the Hole), Shar Vahl and Shadeweaver’s Thicket (which means Vah’Shir and Beastlords are both available), the Nexus, the Bazaar and the Plane of Knowledge. The work on Velious has officially begun, and we are currently targeting a late autumn/early winter release date.

Our server is based on the Open Source Codebase started by EQMac Emu, which in turn originated with Project EQ and the EQ Emulator Community. Without their years of combined work this project would not be possible. Our gratitude goes out to everyone involved in getting the game to the point it is today.

“The Vision”

P2002 is about playing in fairness, having fun, enjoying the quest for pixels and building a community. We promote a healthy competitive raid environment with a hands off GM approach. Much like the original Live Servers, we operate under a Free For All rule set and will only be enforcing EQLive's "Play Nice Policy". Guides are available to help people with petitions, but when it comes to raid and group content, it will be up to players to mediate and create their own resolutions to disputes.

We operate under a 3 box limit, we want this to be an equal opportunity server for all players. While we realize we can’t technically force people to be social and group with each other, there are experience mechanics in place that greatly encourage groups with more than 3 characters (not unlike the original Al’Kabor EverQuest Server).

We intend to gauge all GM released content (GM Events) to involve everyone, not just the end game raiding community. We have so far had a large launch event at server opening, and another large launch event when Kunark launched, and there are plans for future GM events already in the works.
