TAKP Luclin release date announced

[Linkamus]

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.

The best way to increase population of takp would be for blue99 to have it's plug pulled. Can't someone hack in and corrupt the drive tables via an fdisk or writing directly to the boot partitions?

I doubt rogean has offsite backups of ppls characters going back more than a few hrs.

Fair enough, I guess we'll see.

If I'm right, and the most important thing to people is playing on a server that resembles live (and that means boxing at levels of <10%) then it won't matter what expansions TAKP adds, because it won't solve the fundamental problem that their server isn't like the ones everyone remembers.

You don't know what the actual boxing levels were, neither do I. 10 is probably close enough during certain time frames. What we disagree on here is what causes the subjective 'this is like live' feeling and what could spoil it. That is for each person. There's a common subset, and there's things that bother specific people. I do not need to have very low levels of boxing to trigger my 'this is like live' feels.

Anyways, really good discussion and we'll see what we see.

I hope this is a joke.

It's a hypothetical. I wouldn't want to see someone go to jail for it under the computer fraud and abuse act of 1986

If I could hack in to P99 I wouldn't destroy anything, I'd just steal their database and use it to start a "P99 that goes through PoP" server that's way more classically accurate than it needs to be ... with no boxing of course [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Very few people boxed back on live before Velious was out. With Velious and advent of EQW people started boxing some more, but still probably.. under 5% of people boxed on a regular basis.

Accidents happen! !? I will be praying for P99.

Non-instanced Plane of Time on P99 would be incredible.

Quarm COTH race anyone?
