Project Quarm isn't going to just split the player base, it's going to decimate it.
For years all we heard was, "I'd be into TAKP if it was a single box server"
TAKP has actual code and database that verant used, P99 is all guess work. The experience on TAKP has the
feel of the era. TAKP game mechanics actually work as they did on live.
PQ will have QOL features that neither takp or p99 has, and none of the arbitrary personal preference changes that the p99 devs have made.
This is alot bigger than the P99 green launch. Green/Blue will have no choice but to be merged together due to the lack of players.
Literally everyone is going to get going on PQ. I guarantee you that guilds are already being formed, and that hundreds of people are furiously planning their class/leveling strategy. TAKP itself is going to see increased numbers, as players work to verify mechanics and database info, so as to best plan for their new life on single box TAKP.
Devs had a decade to try out this or that on emulators, the public has had a decade to rant or flame about whatever game issue, Secrets seems to have taken all this into account when planning a new server.
What he's described so far is a true-to-form era-accurate server with a "what the players want" approach.
This is gonna be the crowning achievement of EQ Emulators.
