Crying scum.

You forgot FE and full circle, both of which basically merged with tmo (not BDA for some reason)

Fact of the matter is that the server has vastly improved since BDA decided to go somewhere else.

You're absolutely correct, and that's likely why CSG holds out. They think eventually they'll get to clear ToV because someday there won't be Awakened or Aftermath or another entity standing in their way.

Nah nobody has such delusions. I dont think anyone in CSG even wants to be toptier raiders, those who do just join A/A. A lot of us regular members were actually quite burned out with the recent pixelfest. I cant imagine going through that week after week. We just want to kill some stuff here and there.

When you suffered through this server during Kunark, Velious seems easymode. We're actually killing mobs now. Though its very discouraging (but not suprising) to find out that some guilds are actually cheating to get ahead in footraces.

Personally, if I wanted to leave the server I would have done it back in Kunark when you couldnt even get an epic without being TMO. Though some of the newer players who have put less time into P99 might be tempted to make the switch.

I think that is the key to enjoying P99. Having encounters that dont feel so textbook and trivial, and enjoying them at your own pace - and trying not to get involved in the politics of the raid discussion forum particularly.

I don't know enough about the server to answer that raato. You can ask on their forums. They're a nice bunch.

Mistle is pretty active on TAKP I think. He could likely answer some questions.

[Daldaen]

TAKP has almost 0 legacy items.

0 prenerfed CoFs and Holgresh beads. Also no prenerf Fungi staves, Manastones, etc.

The intent of the server is to emulate Al'Kabor as it existed and on AK there were about 2-3 of those legacy items handed out at GM events. The GMs over there realize that it would be very unfair to hand out items of such power at a GM event so they didn't.

A few guises exist I think from people who did lots of beta testing for the server as those were pretty commonly rewarded at GM events on AK. Also their anniversary custom quest they did this year awarded some Rubicite armor, again an item with almost no impact on balance or unfairness. Just fashionquest.

The biggest limiting factor for TAK for most players will be the limited QoL features you've come to expect using the nonclassic Titanium client here. Specifically no scroll wheel to 3rd person, no mana shown in inventory, no DoT damage shown and no hidecorpses looted.

They do have a lot of custom user account features that are incredible though. You can pull up your game account tab and it will show you all 10 of your accounts, where every character is camped out (zone and location), and their stats. You can also click on a link under each character to see a complete list of their inventory and bank, alphabetized. Furthermore you can easily move a character from one of your accounts to another account you have. So for example you can move your Cleric off its account onto another account to Rez a character on the clerics account. Or a wizard to port, etc. This account moving tool only takes about 15 seconds to process the move. It's great.

The Phinny QOL features are what really hooked me. After living in the wilderness that was p99, finally having a guild window and raid window made life soooooo much easier.
