The 3 boxing and crap doesn't bother me because it's just a different mindset, you play with your friends and do your own thing, it's not a community like p99. But I can't get past the client.

They decided not to delete 10% of an expansions content (warders) on an infinite timelocked never expanding server though so have to give them props for some wisdom over p99.

Client is 100% of the reason I'm not actively playing TAKP right now. I think if the client wasn't such poo it'd be a lot more popular. Say what you want about classic or w/e but VERY VERY FEW people are willing to stomach first person no mousewheel zoom everquest. The boxing issue is overstated as always. It's not that big of a deal really.

To be unhappy about the ability to earn pixel is maybe too Russian for you..

I was literally boxing in 1999. this is a problem how exactly? anyway says right on their forum front page how many players are 3 boxing, 2 boxing or solo. last i looked solo was in the lead

The problem with boxing is it discourages players from grouping, because you can honestly camp a vast majority of the content in the game with a strong trio you play yourself. Groups don't form as often because a double or triple boxer is fine playing by themselves.

While boxing was a thing on live, people didn't do it quite as often due to having to pay 15 extra bucks per month per account. On free emulators there is no reason not to go ham.

Single user play is one of the reasons why P99 is the top emulated server. None of the other servers that allow boxing even come close, especially when you consider a decent chunk of the players are boxes.

The problem with TAKP is the 3 boxing. Their population is pretty low when you take that into account. They need to enforce a one box rule and it would be more tempting.

Agreed, TAKP is fun while you can sync play with another play. You can always get used to UIs/controls after a while.

This is the only reason P99 has the population that it does.
