I thought it would be fun to ask AI about the history of TLP servers on Everquest. Here's what I got.



To create a concise spreadsheet-style table that fits on one screen for easy screen capture, I’ve condensed the information from the previous response, focusing on the key details: Server Name, Launch Date, Ruleset (summarized), Estimated Raid Guilds (First Year), and Top Raid Guilds 1 and 2 (First Year). The table is streamlined to minimize scrolling, using short descriptions and abbreviations where possible. Launch dates are formatted as MM/DD/YY for brevity, and rulesets are summarized to fit compactly. The data is sourced primarily from **EQProgression.com**, with gaps filled by EverQuest forums and Reddit, as noted previously. For servers with unknown top guilds, I’ve marked them as "N/A" to keep the table clean.

Below is the concise table, designed to fit a standard screen (e.g., 1920x1080 resolution) for screenshot purposes.

| Server | Launch | Ruleset | Raid Guilds | Top Guild 1 | Top Guild 2 |
|-----------------|-----------|--------------------------------------|-------------|----------------------|----------------------|
| Combine | 05/19/06 | Voting-based, classic | 5-10 | N/A | N/A |
| The Sleeper | 05/19/06 | Voting-based, classic | 5-10 | N/A | N/A |
| Fippy Darkpaw | 02/15/11 | Voting-based, raid unlock | 10-15 | Redacted | Realm of Insanity |
| Vulak'Aerr | 02/15/11 | Voting-based, raid unlock | 8-12 | N/A | N/A |
| Ragefire | 05/20/15 | Voting, random loot | 15-20 | Apokalypsis | Modest Man |
| Lockjaw | 07/15/15 | Voting, random loot | 10-15 | Modest Man | Twisted Legion |
| Phinigel | 12/09/15 | True-box, 12-wk auto-unlock | 20-25 | Faceless Insanity | Original Gangster |
| Agnarr | 05/24/17 | True-box, PoP lock, 12-wk unlock | 10-15 | Midnight Express | Azure Sky |
| Coirnav | 03/16/18 | True-box, 8-12 wk unlock | 15-20 | Aftermath | Kingdom |
| Selo | 03/16/19 | Relaxed true-box, 4-8 wk unlock | 8-12 | Dial a Port | N/A |

| Miragul | 11/09/19 | HoT start, heroic chars, 2-3 mo | 5-10 | N/A | N/A |
| Aradune | 05/27/20 | True-box (2-box), 8-12 wk unlock | 20-25 | Castle | Original Gangster |
| Rizlona | 05/27/20 | Boxed, 8-12 wk unlock | 15-20 | Vita Nova | Dial a Port |
| Mischief | 05/26/21 | Free-trade, random loot, relaxed box | 20-25 | Wipe Club | Vita Nova |
| Thornblade | 05/26/21 | Free-trade, random loot, relaxed box | 15-20 | The Fallen | Dial a Port |
| Vaniki | 05/25/22 | Level cap (40), 94-wk unlock | 8-12 | N/A | N/A |

| Teek | 05/22/24 | Free-trade, random loot, Kunark | 10-15 | Vita Nova | Dial a Port |
| Tormax | 05/22/24 | True-box, Kunark, 8-12 wk unlock | 10-15 | Aftermath | Kingdom |
| Fangbreaker | 05/28/25 | Kunark/Velious/Luclin, encounter lock | N/A | N/A | N/A |

**Notes:**
- **Data Source**: Primarily **EQProgression.com** for raid kill submissions, with EverQuest forums () and Reddit (,,) for gaps, especially for older servers (2006-2011) and recent ones (2024-2025).
- **Abbreviations**: “PoP” = Planes of Power, “HoT” = House of Thule, “wk” = week, “mo” = month, “N/A” = no data available.
- **Raid Guilds**: Estimated based on server population and raid activity from community sources, as EQProgression.com doesn’t provide guild counts.
- **Top Guilds**: Based on server-first kills or consistent raid clears in the first year from EQProgression.com. “N/A” indicates insufficient data (e.g., Combine, The Sleeper, Vulak’Aerr, Miragul, Vaniki, Fangbreaker).
- **Fangbreaker**: Launched May 28, 2025, too recent for raid guild data on EQProgression.com.
- **Formatting**: Designed to fit a standard 1920x1080 screen, with concise columns and minimal text wrapping. If you need adjustments (e.g., font size, column width) or a specific screenshot format, let me know!

Kinda scary how good AI has gotten, but I'm not so certain about the top 2 raiding guilds for some of those servers lol.

It's just gibberish, but it's amazing that it actually tried.

Yeah, lets talk Selo. Top guilds for what periods? I feel like Faceless was the top guild on Selo. Maybe not right at the start but they took that server all the way to its conclusion.

AI needs better focus for time periods on server existence.

Actually... I had told it to base it off of the first year of the server.

Almost every tlp had a top guild until some point 65-70 and then a new top guild after the first top guild quit, died, imploded, dramallamad, whatever. This even happened on pre-tlp fresh start servers, you'd have a top guild that quit for the next one. You have to set metrics for what top guild means, and you'll get tl guilds by one metric and dima/faceless guilds for the other.

To create a concise spreadsheet-style table that fits on one screen for easy screen capture, I’ve condensed the information from the previous response, focusing on the key details: Server Name, Launch Date, Ruleset (summarized), Estimated Raid Guilds (First Year), and Top Raid Guilds 1 and 2 (First Year). The table is streamlined to minimize scrolling, using short descriptions and abbreviations where possible. Launch dates are formatted as MM/DD/YY for brevity, and rulesets are summarized to fit compactly. The data is sourced primarily from **EQProgression.com**, with gaps filled by EverQuest forums and Reddit, as noted previously. For servers with unknown top guilds, I’ve marked them as "N/A" to keep the table clean.

i looked for my original year 1999 server, realised this wasn't original EQ, and lamented the data lost to time. good thread otherwise.

Yeah the top guilds thing is pretty funny, espcially Rizlona's. I would have expected anything from Shattered Soul, WGO, Deconstructing Gods, or Throw Stone.

Yeah the "top guilds" it spit out are completely bonkers. All it would need to do is find the various <server>progress sites and get data from those.

Off the top of my head, and some of these could be wrong.

Combine: Realm of Insanity, ?

Fippy: Twisted Legion, Citizen (Dima)

Vulak: Echoes of Elysium, Faceless?

Ragefire: Twisted Legacy, Dead Halfling Society

Lockjaw: Faceless Insanity, Modest Man (Dima)

Phinigel: Asylum of Shadow (TL), Original Gangster Club (Dima)

Agnarr: Faceless Empire, Trucidation?

Coirnav: Relentless Insomnia, ?

Selo: Faceless Conquest, Amtrak (TL)

Aradune: That's EQ Baby (Atabishi), ?

Vaniki: Chill Mode, Bind Rush
