Sick of socking?

I much prefer TAKP to p2002...I'll just say that the devs on TAKP are trustworthy and knowledgeable, and care about the players, and leave it at that. Other than that yeah TAKP uses a more in-era client, and TAKP is generally way more era-accurate because they have a custom curated DB unlike P2002's which is based off of the current EQ EMU data. TAKP is in Luclin now, I think P2002 is in Pop already.
TAKP is fully curated and era specific, like P99.
P2002 is less so.

Join https://p2002.com
EQ up to the plans of power expantions

Many QoL improvements that make the game much more fun.
Tons of content that you can set raid times to. No sitting in a zone e for hours on end wait for a dragon to pop. Then you have to hope you get FTE.

No one guild has a monopoly over 90 percent of the high end content.

Come join fun!!!!

Boxing should go away and it should stop at luclin =(

No the reason p99 is successful is because of nilbogs code not the box rule

I guess, true, to an extent...

But maybe people are out playing and not TunnelQuesting as much? Maybe the instanced zones - I'm guessing they're on instancing now? - have led to a drastic decrease in neckbeard-ry? IDK... I'm just SS-geared and pre-ToV geared on p99 and starting to feel the second bottle-neck... the first being getting my shaman epic and Torpor, after quitting my Mage epic dreams.

It's fun to entertain ideas, at least. Not like I could ever muster the courage to quit p99... currently on the 'get all my 6 alts to level 51' goal. 3 down, 3 to go.

Not necessarily responding to you, just the principle presented - i'll never understand individuals who determine their EMU server with the thought "where am I most likely to get X item" or "where am i most likely to see raid content"

At the end of the day... what is it worth to get those items or see that content on a platform with a dubious future regarding its longevity.

I could start a character on any of the EQ Emu servers, box, get any loot I want etc etc etc... but to what end? To show it to who? To play with who?

Sure you may never see a mage epic on P99. But on the rare chance you do... it will feel that much more satisfying to complete it.

It's like being excited to find a mercedes after the apocalypse. yea you have a mercedes, but who fucking cares?

It is actually easier than that. You spend about 30-45 min and install your own server.
Then you go in and do:


#zone NTOV
/target Lord Vyemm
#kill
/loot


or simply:
#summonitem X
Repeat 9 gazillion times till full satisfaction.

This is pretty dubious. There are still several hundred people on each of p2002 and Takp. Less than p99, yes, but it's not like you're playing alone. And nothing on Takp is instanced, either, so at least on that server you will always people who are in whatever zone.

The truth is, both servers have healthier populations for an EQ emu than p99 does. I don't know if you've noticed this, but there are *too many people* on p99's endgame. I think you'll find out just how many more people there are than it can handle when the rotations come awfully soon.

As for longevity, I might point out that the Takp devs include active p99 devs... and they are more active on Takp, where it doesn't take four years to get an expansion out. I would be more worried about the devs here, who have all but disappeared from anything hands on.
