If you are playing a catbard, on the moon, in 2018, on a box of bots, that are automated with elon musks technology, seek help.

I will forgive you for this indiscretion and injustice towards moon cats because you introduced me to Kavinsky.

low levels are pretty sparse with how quick leveling is and its mostly a raiding server. there is a rotation and kitty cats(already) tho.

Is there boxing? Irulan's post seemed to imply it was heavy. That would kill it for me.

And AK had it because....wait for it....LIVE HAD IT.

Shit's classic.

I like TAKP a lot. Pop is kinda low, but that will probably change and actually has its benefits imo. Boxing is limited to 3, and you do see a lot of trios during low levels, but a lot of people do it mostly for convenience rather than as a lifestyle. There's some good guilds and a lot of raiding. The server is flawless as far as functionality, seems to have very good devs. The community is awesome, very friendly and laid back.
If you have a religious object to OTHER people boxing, then yeah you won't like that aspect of it. You don't have to box if you don't want to, and there's a rather large exp bonus for going to 4 or above in a group, so singles are usually always welcome.
IDGAF about the cats on the moon thing, you people are ok with all kinds of dumb crap if its elveses and hobbittses but CATS? omg no.
Also...PoP is coming, and imo that's the pinnacle of EQ.
Really the only drawback is that halfings can be rangers, but whattaya gonna do.

Does any server besides P99 prevent boxing?

It feels like all the servers which might someday have a chance of seeing P99-level population numbers, like 2002 and TAKP, screw themselves over by allowing boxing. They tell themselves "we have a low population, so we need boxing", but the reality is their population will always remain low because of that decision.

It seems to me that the only way (or at least the only proven way) to succeed is to do what P99 does and prevent boxing from day one. And the only other successful EQ servers (live EQ) did something similar: while they didn't ban boxing, they at least discouraged it by charging for accounts.

But for some odd reason it seems like every server except P99 completely fails to understand that, and I have yet to hear about any other that has a one-box policy. What gives?

[fadetree]

I don't know. Everybody talks about bot armies and whatever other weird shit they always bring up, and all I can say is I never once saw that during early live (up through PoP). If it was there it, never bothered me. I duo-boxed on live when not grouped and had a great time, ran with a good guild and we all had fun. To your point, Loramin, I have never understood the vitriolic hatred that the P99 population has for boxing, especially when it's limited to 2 or 3 max. TAKP is not bot-controlled, its not 50 people all playing trios, and its not full of cheaters and hacks. Some of the same devs that were on P99 are there and they are just as vigilant as they are here. I like boxing, always have. I also like group play as a single. What I don't like is being LFG for hours. Plus, boxing is freaking hard if you are doing anything other than a calm controlled exp camp anyway. Macros and bot controls are strictly not allowed on TAKP.

So really, I don't care if you guys come over or not frankly, this was not intended as a recruitment thread, just an announcement. But you could always see for yourself what it's like, and draw your own conclusions. We won't out you on P99 if you log in.

I guess I was a bit too vitriolic. Honestly I had intended more to fume about the lack of one-box servers, but somehow wound up ranting about multi-box ones instead.

But to what you said, it's not that people necessarily hate boxing. I myself boxed occasionally on live, and enjoyed it. But on live boxing was limited by the cost of $10/month plus an initial $50 ... plus a second computer, before EQW came out.

If emulated servers could require all that then they might actually feel like a live server. But they can't, and it's frustrating to me that every other server creator chooses to allow boxing, when both one-boxing P99 and "discouraged boxing" live EQ were so successful.

It's an AK replica, AK had boxing. Get lost with the boxing complaints.

[Irulan]

I get upset easily.

Especially @ boxing on a game I'm not rly playing.

I'm sooo sorry. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
