Consider Project 2002

[Barkingturtle]

Honestly, none of you have done a great job representing your respective servers in this thread. I guess this Apio guy is at least remaining mostly calm. Personally, I'm gonna keep playing exclusively on Red because it feels like a more positive community than p2002 or TAK. This thread is my first impression of both -- I ain't alone in my assessment, I'm sure.

In the future, before you post your bitchy nerd-rants, I simply suggest you ask yourselves, "What would Nilbog do?" That dude is all class, all the time. Like Jesus but with more credibility.

Wwnd hehehe

Oh I do not deny I was making a ruckus before on TAK, that was because I was merely a player at that point, and our guild and myself were being treated like 2nd class citizens on the server (despite making up 80% of it's population at that point) simply because we were not casual players.

I could go on and on about how I appealed my ban and other than some lengthy post by Speedz that was full of lies and slander and didn't contain a single shred of evidence of my "commited crimes" and even though I gave Zarwayne access to my forum account to go through my PM history such evidence never surfaced.

BUT

I have since realized that there is more than enough room for 2 projects that stop at PoP, and that it gives BOTH casual and "hardcore" players a chance to each realize their own play style - Both servers existing serves both servers, and we can help each other out.

Additionally I think starting a dick swinging contest on the forums doesn't server P2002 or TAK, and I have stated this many many times in this thread.


If you want to bring up the past, let us please air ALL the dirty laundry and not just the part that makes Project 2002 look bad. But instead, I say: let bygones be bygones, and let us have a dialogue and stop this misinformation/smear campaign

This goes out to both sides


PS:

It is not speculation. You took advantage of an open source project and threw their development team under the bus that made your server possible by claiming their work as your own. Just because you are 'closed source' doesn't mean it gives you an excuse to claim everything you have done as yours. Much like I can't claim that TAK wouldn't be possible without a lot of the work Harakiri and Yeahlight did on EQClassic/Trilogy as most of the structures were used as a starting point for the Mac client before I dumped the protocol from the client itself

More lies and slander. We have in the past and will in the future keep crediting the TAK team for their dedication and work, and we have NEVER, I repeat, NEVER claimed any of your work as our own. We actually helped you get the database to where you had it when we split off, so that is another point to consider, and we are still actively contributing a lot of stuff to TAK. Just 2 weeks ago we shared ALL the Kunark Epic Scripts.


You didn't hate on our project when you were still trying to take credit for it, Secrets, please try to remember that. There is links to the post on rerolled in this very thread

Is P2002 totally closed source? I am pretty sure TAKP is open, minus the cheat protection. That is a fairly important detail. Much nicer to play and contribute somewhere open, but that is just me

Just wanted to post here and say that I did not consider Project 2002.

Well, I'll be on P2002 until the hybrid xp penalty poofs here at p99, so at least until spring next year (6 months in to the release). I just set up a second account on a different computer so I can box, but the last week i have actually had more groups on P2002 than I ever had on P99 in a single week.

P99, although a superb server, has become a victim of its own popularity like a very trendy restaurant at peak hour where the regulars and rich people have already taken all the seats. :P

Still playing, still enjoying this server. Have my team up to level 24 now. Despite the boxing, I've actually grouped on this server quite a bit, and met some cool people. The global ooc really helps with the socialization since the pop is so low. But because of that, people really help each other out a lot. It's not for everyone, clearly, but it's definitely a nice departure from the P99 experience. My biggest problem at this point is that I chose the name "Stannis" for my Shadow Knight...
