Too many gnomes so far. I think one of the TAKP guilds went all gnome.

I'm racist against gnome players.

Got my names claimed and logged off.

I'll probably play *later today/tonight but busy watching these idiots who didn't opt out of the bowl games risking millions of dollars for pride.

*Thanks terrorists

Looked like 150 or so online just now, assuming some of those are boxing. The timing with THJ and other servers being out there I think everyone's eyes are elsewhere for an EQ fix.

THJ is barely EverQuest. Oughta to be a tag on Twitch for that type of thing.

It's the "new thing" though with 2000ish players.

In the absence of Quarm and THJ I reckon the new TAKP TLP would have seen 500+

I think it's a very small subset of the emu community who get excited about "the most classic server" and also want to multibox. I would say generally those two interests are in opposition.

A single-box launch with a bit of promotion leading up to it, creating a discord for the community and reassuring players they can completely fix the shit TAKP client with zeal (it's amazing) might have been a healthy population regardless.

The devs said one of the goals was 'feeding new players' into the main TAKP server after the merge. Realistically how many new players are going to be there in the end? I kept saying "both" of the players here, but I think that's too optimistic. Not taking shots at the players and certainly not the devs, but the execution doesn't align with that goal. They put a lot of weight behind the preferences of the few people on the TAKP forums, with the expected result in my opinion.

THJ is for people who are too cool to admit they would love EQ live.

live is so much worse than THJ, when i played for a month to blitz through the reboot expansions like Empires of Kunark and Torment of Velious my old live server was dead af felt like 20 real people and hundreds of bots farming, even the family guild i joined for a week to do all the content, every one of them was running MQ unattended also.

i assume the progression servers aren't any better, just more actual people playing the shittiest EQ clone available and paying for the privilege

[Eisai]

I'd play if someone loan me a computer! :P

This server any good? Quarm was awful. Are those people, Quarm staff, involved in any way with this new server?
