Almost every TLP has had epic quest tweaks. I feel like this one is shaping up to change that because I don't know how it won't be super toxic and full of forum rage. Of course, any fix would take a month at least.
I wonder what the pick threshold is there.

purposeful training you say
Agnarr had a guy that that leveled up as fast as possible Cleric/Ench so he could bind himself as close as possible to LG and then invis/see invis combo himself with his two characters to start up mega trains. He did that for hours on night one before getting sent to the cornfield by a GM.

I believe many epic quest mobs are being evaluated for proper tagging and drops for this server set before it launches. This was one of them.

If they don't launch this with a backup server (and perhaps consolidate later) it's going to be a shitshow. Backup server would allow everyone who just wants to play and isn't in it for the raid game / top guilds to filter to the backup server and probably have a better overall experience with fewer people. And the main server would actually be playable.
They might as well just drop Tormax as a separate thing entirely and make it a second Teek, which I've got a feeling is what's going to happen. That'd be cool, as Tormax is a much cooler name than Teek and most raid guilds would probably rather roll up on there.

How much of a level spread do TLPs usually have? I started EQ in Kunark, but had limited playtime and didn’t hit 60 until a bit into PoP, so I’ve never done any of the Kunark raid or high group content, so Teek is looking pretty appealing. I haven’t played any TLPs, though, so I don’t know if the vast majority of players are speeding to cap or if there’s a decent distribution of people on the slower end. Does Faceless usually just limit itself to competitive folks, or are there some social groups of players allowed as well?

Almost every guild allows casuals or friends/family if you arent a toolbag or trying to score real loot. Everyone speeds to cap and all, but, tons of people do it at the same speed as you are talking about, and then theres often alts and late joiners. There will be casual group shit to do.

That's unfortunate. So in-era it's no longer a top EXP zone, I take it. Well, definitely won't be rushing in there with a static now.
This particular server should have basically a 1-60 level spread, gonna be people of all levels doing all kinds of things. I'm sure you'd find plenty of people to group with in Faceless. Most people in general aren't gonna nolife it to 60, just the sweaty folk here and in a few specific groups.
I also missed out on high-level gameplay in Kunark/Velious/Luclin back in 2000/2001 and didn't get to really experience those until TLP, and even then I kept skipping Kunark for some reason. Kinda weird to be going into an expansion I'm not super familiar with but also cool.

A lot of people got burned by Thornblade thinking it would have merged a lot earlier than now, a large percentage of players would probably avoid going to the overflow again.

People are pretty much over having big requirements to join the fancy raiding guilds. Both of the two declared open world tryhard guilds, Faceless and RI, have zero raid attendance requirement. At worst if you level on the slow side you'll be at friends and family status until you reach max level. The only thing that keeps people out of guilds these days is being a dirtbag.
Leveling in the first week saves a ton of time in the long run. If you can put in some extra time during it you'll get the good returns on the investment.

Have to to some pretty shitty stuff these days to get turned down by a guild, even then it's easy to sneak in under a different name for a while, but you'll probably get sniffed out eventually, TLPers generally don't change a lot.

Speaking of... my buddy and I can't start leveling until Friday (rip) but gonna do some serious slogging Fri - Sun if another 2boxer or 2 other people want to join us. Following the formula of planning everything out, coordinating spell buys, pre set UIs, group xp pots, etc.
