Consider Project 2002

[DeathWalking]

It's pretty great. The client is older so it's actually era appropriate, and the people are exceedingly helpful and friendly. The pop is still kinda low, but it's on the rise.


Now, before you say "wahhh it allows boxing" there are some things you should know. The max number of toons boxed is 3, so theres no full party/raid being controlled by one neckbeard stealing up all the pixels, and automation isnt allowed. Ever seen a small herd of wizards all casting the same spell at the same time? that's automation. 1 key, 1 action, 1 toon. basically youre allowed to use a screen switcher, but nothing more intricate, so players (not software) are playing the other toons. And if you dont want to box, don't box. Only want to dual box? only dual box.


It's super easy to get set up, only took me about 5 minutes to get in-game once i had downloaded the client. no install needed, you just extract the zip to your C drive and run the game.


NOW HERE'S THE REAL GAME CHANGER
No handholding GMs giving out preferential treatment to their real life pals, no welfare pixels, and legit player controlled raiding. The GMs arent going to get involved, and based on the community, that responsibility being given to the players is very well deserved. Everyone I've encountered is mature and respectable, and probably has more going for them in life than VP gear.


Not only that, but you can look forward to actual progression on this server. Right now all the classic content is in-game (plus quests and such that came with luclin and PoP to classic zones/cities). Kunark will be dropping soon, and they actually mean soon. No waiting years after they say it's on the way like some other emu servers. PoK is up and running. Iksar and moon cats are playable and their starting areas are up, so if you want to be a reptile or a furry you can.




If anyone is interested in trying it out, shoot me a PM and i'll get you a link to the client download and help you get set up.
