The Al`kabor Project (EQMac) - PoP 1/5
- Thread starter Lenas
- Start date
If the servers (TAKP and P2002) didn't split in two, they'd easily have between 200-300 online.
Dev drama only hurts the players in the end.

I got a message about P2002 server. I thought that was odd that two of the same type of servers would be developed. That is a shame... you're right though. That negatively impacts the players in the end.

Are these instructions out of date or something? When I try to add this patchme thing in I get an error.

Right click that new shortcut and click the Shortcut tab and in the Target field type"C:\EQMac\eqgame.exe patchme"with the quotes

Tried using secrets thing here but nothing happens. I either get errors saying you cant have <> or it just says wait 5000 completed etc
Bonus HotkeyNet If You Plan on Boxing

Open Script.txt and edit it appropriately
Change each occurrence of

Close and Save the Script
Start HotkeyNet.exe (You no longer use eqgame.exe shortcut)

I've thanked them before, but seeing them post again here just made me want to repeat it.
Nester's log was INVALUABLE for my database work on TAKP, (it's a very good log) and Fifey letting me use his account for VP really helped tremendously in getting that zone right.
Project EQ is importing parts of TAKP's database, so those contributions go far beyond this server.
Getting logs from people is like pulling teeth, so I haven't gotten much. People who share them should be recognized.

It is a great server... wish I had more time to play. I'm going to get back into the swing of things eventually. Hate that population is fragmented between so many other emu servers. Now that EQMac was unplugged, this should be the "go to" server in my opinion.

What sort of information specifically are you looking for from these logs? I might be able to rustle up some ancient logs from my backups and I have a technical background that might be of some assistance. Please feel free to PM me if interested in some help.

I started a druid (Handar) and am up to 34. Planning on using them as a porter/farmer/power leveler, then maybe try some boxing. I never played past Luclin, and even as a druid, I just love the plane of knowledge. I imagine it's especially beneficial on a low population server like this. I was playing on P99, but I really like the lower population here and not having cut-throat competition for every spawn/camp.

I might still have my logs from al'kabor. That would cover well ....pretty much every mob in the history of al'kabor over a period of 4-5? years.
I'll see if I can dig that shit up this week end.
There was also a lot of theorycrafting made in chat channels on AC values and avoidance mod values etc etc. I'm not sure how much of it I deleted or overwrote, hopefully not a lot.

I play on this server and it is solid. No zone discos, no random LD and so far no bugs. I play as Hosix, Slowsix and Lucero. If anyone needs a hand, some plat for spells or anything else send me a tell. So far the server population hovers around 60-90 daily and on the weekends 110 to 120.
