He's not being immature, he's just arguing back. It's legit. I don't agree with him, but he's not doing anything out of hand I don't think.

Did you read my longer, earlier post on the subject?
You are ignoring all the other 'basic facts' and coming to an unsupported conclusion. I said you *might* be right, but you seemed like you were claiming it was obvious you were, and that's not true.

Not sure which one specifically you're referring to, and it's kind of lame to be like "go back through five pages of stuff and figure out exactly which sentence I want you to re-read"; just use the quote function [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Oh, well I definitely have a bad habit of hyperbalizing, using metaphors when I should use similes, and things like that, so it's very possible I overstated my position and you are in fact correct (my opinion was subjective not objective).

In defense of boxing, servers didn't have a 50 pop back then either. Also people didn't know what they were doing at all, people randomly roamed the Karanas unlocking their corpses for bards to loot precious bronze armor and fine steel from via /consent. Saying, re-creating a classic EQ experience is hard too impossible at best with a low population. But that's all the rest I have to say.

God Bless Haynar, and u guys are great over at TAKP but I still think automation is inevitably unavoidable and a huge turn off to delicate shit flowers such as myself. You shouldn't be selling your server to ppl like me. U should be selling it to the P99 raidscene.

This is true, and emulated servers do have a "chicken and egg" problem with population when they first start. Obviously P99 overcame that, but I don't mean to make it sound like it's easy to get a healthy population going without allowing boxing, because I'm sure it's not.

I don't think Loramin is trying to pick on TAKP so much as just venting his frustration concerning the fact that other than p99 there aren't really any strict no boxing emus. Which I can empathize with. As someone who now loves boxing, I have my pick of the litter (TAKP being the best choice!). However if there was only one emu with boxing allowed, I can see how not having many options would suck.

fadetree · #8 05-16-2018, 01:39 PM

Yeah, I didn't think he was picking on TAKP either, just pushing his hypothesis and as you said, probably irritated about the lack of other emus that have the same restriction.

Irulan · #9 05-16-2018, 01:48 PM

p99 was an early adopter and one of the earlier boxes on the scene, i remember sitting around in quake3 deathmatches and ppl were emailing me about p99 coming online

it got free population

it evolved into something nice, but if takp and p99 rolled at the same time, takp would have stomped p99 especially if both had no boxing rules.

but takp wouldn't exist without ppl from p99 probably either.

u can't have a chicken without an egg

Takp population will go up, and is going up. Could it go up even more with a strict no-boxing policy? Sure, perhaps, but we will never know for sure because there's no way it's going to change at this point. Changing to a 2 box limit even I think would cause the r&f forum to descend into madness.
