ppl are gonna whine and piss and moan until every feature that makes TAKP better is removed

then it's gonna be P99

leave the xp bonus and PoK books in-game, why is it so important that we are all beholden to wizard/druids for transpo? We've already had years of that back on live and a decade of it on P99

its nearly impossible to make a "purist classic eq" server so why not just make one that's fun to play?

ya'll did such a great job with TAKP, that's what has everyone so excited for PQ

please don't pull a Nilbog on what is already perfect
The xp bonus being gone is bad for the player, but very good for the server.

I agree with the overall sentiment here that we shouldn’t bog this new project down with requests until we ultimately ruin it…. But I’m just saying the one negative from eq post velious was the pok books decimating player interaction, as well as shrinking the worlds size and depth with insta click teleports. Most can agree this to be the case, no? That to me and many others IS unfun. Im just suggesting that, in my very humble opinion, Eq post velious would be better served trying to preserve the social etiquette and spirit of EverQuest by keeping these aspects of the game intact when starting the server. That doesn’t necessary mean we remove pok books in response…I’m just highlighting the elephant in the room from a p99 player’s perspective.


Obviously I don’t expect Secrets and Co to cater to my requests, I’m merely making a suggestion as a passionate fan of the game.
I’m not trying to annoy or step on anyones toes as I only want the best for this server and it’s fan base.


Very happy Secrets is even undertaking this project, so I’m not trying to come across as ungrateful! Super excited for the server regardless of the QoL choices they make!


If i don’t enjoy it I always have p99.

Honestly I don’t get the insistence that ports are this super social and unifying experience thanks to a couple of tells and sharing a group for 20 seconds.

They are either immemorable or leaves parties frustrated with being messed about with wait times. As I’m the common element to those experiences maybe I am just the asshole.

Also books only really link newbie zones. They aren’t that helpful for moving around relevant content like most of velious, much of kunark, basically all of luclin, etc.

Dial a port is a unifying force here. It doesn't exist when books exist.

DAP works on P99 so well because they are the only means of transpo, and even with books enabled they are still needed for alot of places.

like Jimjam said ports aren't a major social element of the game

ports are an unreliable hassle that is needed to go and pursue the social elements of the game

For anyone unsure, if you have TAKP installed you can pick PQ from the server select screen.

Never seen velks, or crystal caverns

Or HS

Or any of the other planes

So when it comes to seeing a new expansion….on green

No Lower Guk or Sebilis?! Those are among the best dungeons in EQ!
