Consider Project 2002

Of course. That's why I said what I did.

Secrets post is something that I was thinking as well, more numbers isn't always better, or a desired goal. A lot of people consider p99 to be overcrowded, and with more people comes constant pressure to change server values and norms. On P2002 hands off GMs and no rotations will work great, as long as people are mature, and there isn't one guild ruling over content and denying others. The same could be said for TAKP, too many guilds and people will delay content access.

In the end the servers have different goals, mildly different rulesets, and different communities. It is really too bad that there had to be a split but it may be better in the long run if it results in two stable communities rather than one community in continual conflict. I think everyone is hoping that both servers thrive and are successful, whatever success is for each respective community.

I agree with what youre saying. Numbers dont always equal a good server. The reason i posted this though, is because the p2002 server still has a pretty low pop, and a lot of people who might be interested in it simply dont know about it. Its far from being crowded at this point.


Though i think the rules are more than mildly different relative to p99. Theres no raid rotation, theres a general 'dont be an asshole' rule with minimal GM involvement (we're all adults, we're expected to act like it), they allow boxing of up to 3 toons which i'd like to see changed once the population gets to a workable number, and it isnt stopping at velious.


So far ive had a great experience on p2002. The people are unanimously friendly and helpful, people are respectful of camps and dont hinder anyone elses ability to enjoy the game, despite boxing rules people will drop a box to make room in a party for other people to join ect. Its still young and underpopulated, but that's why im advertising it. i genuinely believe that this server is going to go places, all it needs is more people to really make it thrive.

I'm not. Arm and Hammered EQ can keep those that are easily misled by posts like this. It's never been about player counts for us anyways. It's about preserving EQMac, not making a server that's a competitor to P99.

Secrets, hey you showed up to the party! Where is your 'Secrets level 50 [Banker]' tag? I remember seeing you on takp, rocking a [Banker] tag - a class that never existed.

EQMac never had any GM or any character with a [Banker] tag. That preservation logic gets me confused.

EQMac also never had GM's leveling with their toons'

Here are some screens from my time on takp:

Oh, also remember when you summoned me into a boat along with a GM friend of yours, to zoom around crushbone.

P2002 is about hands-off GM policy, more fun for everyone.

Those people look like they're having a ton of fun there.

I'll say again, after A&H jumped ship, there have been zero complaints about GM/Dev activity on the server and we see Robregen visiting and interacting almost daily. It's nice to have a GM/Dev around, especially on a server that's *in development*.

If you're gonna build a straw man at least build it well.

So I'm not allowed to have fun - got it. The banker class, if you recall, when you right click on it and modify your banks' contents will cause your client to get disconnected. It's harmless. I don't actually play the game on that character and you know that, which makes you a real scumbag.

I never had a player character on TAKProject, unless you count my level 8 necromancer. Those players I interacted with are not friends of mine, nor are they anyone I know. Nice of you to try and spin something into positive PR for Arm and Hammered EQ, though. Really mature and professional.

Oh, also remember when you summoned me into a boat along with a GM friend of yours, to zoom around crushbone.

I did not 'summon you into a boat' on Crushbone, I turned into a stationary boat (edit: to clarify, one that could not move) for shits and giggles. If you knew anything about the client you'd know that boats need water to move. Showing again how incompetent your logic is. Again, twisting the truth for positive PR.

P2002 is about people taking EverQuest so seriously that they make their own server because they cannot handle guild politics and cry about it. Arm and Hammered EQ is no different than EQTitan.

I am glad you decided to voluntarily leave the server. It's better off without you, seeing as you create stories in your head.

AFAIK there are already collaborations and I think thats as far as it will go. I don't subscribe to the gloom and doom theories about the servers dying without us merging or working together more.

As for moving this to rants and flames, this is clearly off topic since it doesn't pertain to P99, just like all the ragefire posts that were moved here from rants and flames.

and my habitat for humanity post that was very clearly a rant.

What keeps me from trying p2002? Another freaking set of accounts/passwords. Its very annoying to keep track of all this crap without writing it down.

Very dumb. But password security is important. And I don't know who to trust.

I would rather the whole login server be hosted by the main eqemu project.
