TAKP is the only museum server, they use the IN ERA client, because someone walked out of verant with that software on a disk.

TAKP was not a 'verant walkout server'. As the person who wrote the netcode & fitted EQEmulator to it, it was a combination of:
1) My work on the 2013-era EQEmu codebase that allowed us to log in and get the client working under the old netcode (Haynar later figured out the packet sequence rollover in this base)
2) Multiple devs' work on verifying gameplay mechanics through reverse engineering / observation (Thanks to Robregen, Haynar, Torven, Speedz (RIP), cavedude, solar, demonstar55 myself, the entire EQMac community)
3) Packet collections from that era, and previous eras.
4) Painstaking parsing and verification of minor game quirks and content that made it accurate and AKurate (Torven, mostly, but so many people contributed, including EQClassic's Harakiri)
