The Al'kabor Project (TAKP) Team is excited to announce a new TLP style server in celebrating 10 years of TAKP.
The History of TAKP:
TAKP was opened on January 1st, 2015 with the goal of recreating EQMAC after it was sunsetted by SOE.
The server was perpetually stuck in the Planes of Power launch era and never progressed in the timeline after launching.
With the existing 2002 era PoP client for PC and Mac, The TAKP Team has been working on that era of content over the course of 10 years, fixing bugs and polishing the content along the way.
The zones were recreated using information gathered from EQMAC before it was shut down.
What will this TAKP TLP be like?
We opened the rules to be voted upon by the community and the results were :
-- 2-boxing limit.
-- 6 month per expansion.
During Vanilla EQ, we'll be unlocking Plane of Fear after 2 months, and then Plane of Hate/Sky and Temple of SolRo 2 months after that.
We will have *some* legacy items available, but not Manastone or Guise of the Deceiver or anything that may impact the balance of the TAKP main server.
We will not have many QOL features that newer era players are accustomed to, like tab-targetting.
However, we will allow a specific TAKP-approved version of Zeal that provides the mouse-wheel scroll zoom function for PC players (unfortunately doesn't work with the Mac client).
Iksars won't be added until Kunark, Vah shir with Luclin, and certain hybrid combos were added with Luclin as well (Gnome SK/Paladin, Halfling Ranger/Paladin).
We are aiming to keep each expansion era accurate as possible with minimal customizations.
