I have to ask... can we import our Al'Kabor characters if we had (I forget his name) export them before the Live Mac server was yanked?
I'm not sure if the TAK team will be able to do that, I'm not in charge of managing the server there. Cavedude and I were working on the code. Wouldn't hurt to post on the forums.

Other update: Finally fixed a loop-around issue on the packet sequence numbers. Before, when you hit 65535 (max unsigned short) in packet sequence, it would disconnect/desync/otherwise cause problems for you. Now that's fixed, and the connection goes back around as it should to 1 in the sequence when it hits 65535. Hoping to get this pushed out for testing. Should fix the random LDs from idling.

ACK sequence fixes. Should now persist if it rolls over past 65535. · 22ad230 · cavedude00/Server · GitHub

Why would you even want to do that? You would immediately end up with a very top heavy server if we are talking about importing lvls/aa/gear.

They will be opening the expansions progression style, so really no hope for this until post PoP elementals, if at all.

Yeah, server doesn't show on the list sometimes on the PC client, all you have to do really is press enter as the server is already highlighted (even though you can't see the name)

alkabor looks to be starting up like big xz and p99 did

"- Openly debating or researching who GM play toons are as well as disclosing to the public if you know.
- Bugging a GM on a play toon for GM related activities. Use bug and petition or post on the forums as anyone would.
- Asking a GM to use their GM on raids in any form. (related to first note) Including if a GM is in your guild and you mention the GM should check for a spawn or anything else.
"
part of outing GMs play toons and their dubious morals was a good thing in the end on p99...not a "instaban" the players trying to help the community... it always, always comes down to... shouldn't be a GM and an active "high end" player.

well on that note... I got a mac pro just sitting here at work...suppose it could get some use!

GM's are allowed to play the game that they're running, and they shouldn't have to deal with bs from the general population all the time. The guys running TAKP have given no reason at all to think that they'd abuse the power they have. They just seem like a small group that loved what AK was, and they have the ability to bring it back.

I wanted to check the server out this weekend, so I went looking for it on the EqEmulator server list (PEQ, Project 1999, EZ Server, etc.). To my surprise, it wasn't listed.

Went over the to the TAKP forums, and saw this:

What clients can play on this server?
The OSX client from the official Al`Kabor will work from launch. However there will certainly be bugs during the alpha and beta phases. The PPC OSX client support is on pause but will hopefully be supported eventually. But no promises there yet as well have been working hard on the primary client support and server stability. Windows clients are only supported with eqmule's current patch. No standard/unmodified PC clients will be supported at this time.
That's it. That's all they tell you how to play on their server coming from a PC. I have no idea what EQMule is, so after some google searches I found this link:Patch - OFFICIAL EQMac-Windows-eqmules-Edition-standalone-v2.1

After going through that thread it appears that the standard titanium client does not work, and that you need to download the latest EQMac Live files, which it gives you a link to. Surprise, the link is dead since EQMac is no longer.

Why they can't give you a step by step guide to get it set up on the PC is besides me. I also saw this frustration reiterated on their forms as well.

Back to farming inflated pixels on blue 99 for me.
