Project 2002 - The Age of Al'Kabor - Release Date 3/20/15

[Happy]

I'm actually single boxing here and still having a blast. Lots of helpful higher levels..

Shit's classic..... Playing one toon is definitely not going to be as easy as p99 with groups and such, but I've seen multiple people doing it. One friend of mine doesn't like to box, so I made another toon to lvl up with him. I have never had a problem with dropping toons to make room for single boxers, but obviously there is going to be those times that you can't find a group (i've had the same issue on every eq server I have played on).

3 box, 2 box, and single box.... Depending on what the situation calls for. If there are single boxes looking to join group, I drop and invite said single boxer. Everyone wins.

Hi everyone ! I just wanted to give you all a small update on what has been going on lately

Our server has introduced Hot Zones, to give the people who do not want to keep going to the same leveling spots some diversity. They will be rotating/switching ever so often, and their status can be reviewed here: http://p2002.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=187

After completing our Loot Revamp prior to launching the server, numerous DB reworks have followed, and we can now say with confidence that we have the most accurate Database out there behind Project 1999.
We are currently in the process of revamping all Classic dungeon spawn groups, we are not happy with the state of many of them yet - Zones with higher ZEMs are being primarily targeted right now, but spawn groups for all Classic dungeons should be accurate by mid May, at latest.

Kunark is practically completed Database side and our main focus has shifted to getting all Kunark quests (especially Epics) ready for the Kunark Launch, and adding in Kunark specific code like Disciplines.
We are very confident in our launch date, which is targeted for Mid June. We will strive to launch Velious by the end of 2015, which seems like a realistic time line considering the effort everyone has been putting in.

The development of Content has been and will continue to be our main focus. We believe that many of the high end problems that an Emulator/EQ server has to deal with are due to drawn out development cycles.

Code wise Cavedude, Haynar and Torven have been working their collective butts off to bring us new code updates almost weekly, but a big thank you also goes out to all the testers who have made this possible by providing great feedback and bug reports.

Our player base is slowly and steadily growing, and we are very happy about what we have moved in the very short amount of time we have been working on this project. Despite boxing being allowed (our limit is 3 boxes online at a time) people have been very social and helpful.
Of course there will always be lone wolves who would rather do things on their own and in their own pace, but most people will drop their boxes for a real player when they get the chance to do so. At this point in time, the great majority of people are playing from US timezones, but we also have more and more European players signing up to join us lately.

On a progression note: Last week, Lord Nagafen was killed for the very first time, and last night Lady Vox, Noble Dojorn and PoF Golems were added to that list.

Small correction, 2 out of the 3 were killed. Terror mowed through our tanks and wiped us. Personally, I love the fact that the game is difficult again, wiping is a real possibility, not just an auto attack, 100 people vs a trivial raid mob. We also did a hate clear last night, and was able to learn from our previous time up with some mini's, so we were prepared and it went pretty smoothly.

Seems like every day I am seeing a few more people starting on the server, which is good to see. The more people there, the funner it is going to be. Right now only one raiding guild, and people are playing anywhere from 1 to 3 toons on the raids due to the low pop. Once we get a higher population in the guild I'm sure the toon limit will be reduced to 2 on raids max (maybe 1 if the guild ever gets that big) to make sure we aren't trivializing content with a zerg. If anyone is looking for an easy install, feel free to PM me for an easy setup.

Shame about the boxing, I would love to play a beastlord otherwise.

[BossThunderace]

Beastlords can slow and practically CH their pet. Hows' that for classic!?

[BossThunderace]

bump for upcoming Kunark release!
