Development is complete, and source code was released!

There will likely be other emulation servers that spring up as a result.  If the specifics of TAKP didn't appeal there will surely be variants!

Regardless we're still routinely raiding EPs and time on a stable rotation. Come join us!

Front page is fairly quiet, but don't take that to mean we're idle!

We've refined Time strats further to speed up our clear, and are still visiting a lot of content across PoP.  The server overall is still very healthy population, with lots of raiding guilds in a rotation.

Never to late to log in and join us.  We have members from AK launch all the way to new recruits from other emu / live!

We've been refining our strategies for a few weeks, and today we got Quarm down first engage!

[Mon Jun 20 22:14:59 2022] Zebuxoruk staggers about and looks at you drowsy, from his weakened state. 'My thanks to you.  I am surprised to see you have made it here.  We must get back to Norrath.  The time has come for me to share my knowledge. Something is coming, a threat to us all, and the sands in the hourglass are thinning. Make haste and take me back the way you came.'
[Mon Jun 20 22:15:31 2022] Zebuxoruk says 'I am surprised at the gods for taking such drastic measures, though I suppose all of the creations of the Nameless are capable of displaying poor judgment and irrational behavior.  These gods are burdened with powers and responsibilities beyond our comprehension, yet at times even they do not understand the eventual effect of their actions.  I am compelled to share the knowledge of the gods with the populace of Norrath, so that I might save their creations.  They do not realize that if mortality ceases to exist... if they are not worshipped and held aloft by the beliefs of those that they now have grown to fear... they will fall from power and a new age of darkness will wash over existence as they know it.  I did not seek to interfere with them or their realms, only to free them from a fate that awaits all of us.  It is this fate that now stands ready, greedily gathered on the edge of the void, ready to test the will of all mortals.'
(I may have been out or range of her first chat lines)
[Mon Jun 20 22:16:45 2022] Druzzil Ro speaks to your mind, 'That I did, but I also taught you not to share your wealth of knowledge if it would affect the fate of others.  I cannot allow this to happen.  I must set things back to how they were before you and these mortals arrived here, I believe that you cannot understand this and I am sorry.'
[Mon Jun 20 22:16:51 2022] Druzzil Ro looks upon Zebuxoruk one last time, as a wave of sadness comes across her gentle face.
[Mon Jun 20 22:16:57 2022] Druzzil Ro begins to chant an incantation; mana flows out from her body in all directions.  Things begin moving slowly in reverse.  You become dizzy from the experience and fall to your knees.  As you look up the last thing you can see is Druzzil Ro smiling in your direction.  She then waves her arms gracefully and points at you.
[Mon Jun 20 22:17:03 2022] There is a brilliant flash and you find yourself displaced through time and space.  For a moment you lose touch with yourself.  As you wake, you find yourself back in the Plane of Knowledge, moments after talking to Maelin with the information of retrieving the Quintessence of Elements.  Druzzil has preserved the timeline, and restored existence back to its normalcy.
[Mon Jun 20 22:17:06 2022] LOADING, PLEASE WAIT...


A few screenshots:

[Wed Jun  1 22:01:48 2022] Fennin Ro says, 'Impossible!  How could the races of Norrath have traveled this deep into the Planes?!'
[Wed Jun  1 22:01:51 2022] Xegony says, 'I regret that it has come to this.  They leave us with little choice, however.  We must fuse our powers together.  Separately we are weakened, together we will halt their advances.'
[Wed Jun  1 22:01:54 2022] Triumvirate of Water says, 'Unfortunate as it may be, I agree.  We must call upon the beast we swore would never be needed.'
[Wed Jun  1 22:01:57 2022] The Rathe says, 'Then let us begin.  Let our abilities and powers meld into one.  It shall be our final protector and savior.  The only thing standing between us and non-existence'
[Wed Jun  1 22:02:00 2022] Your head pounds from the amount of raw energy that begins to coalesce throughout the plane. Bright flashes of red, blue, green and brown begin to come into focus on one single point. A large towering beast begins to manifest itself. A horrible creation with all the powers from each elemental realm. Your body begins to shudder by the mere presence of this being.
[Wed Jun  1 22:02:03 2022] The sundial across the room begins to glow with an ethereal energy.
[Wed Jun  1 22:02:03 2022] As the path before you opens up in a swirl of mystical energy, the faded image of an hourglass appears. You have two additional hours.

We succeeded at clearing Phase 5 tonight, and spawning the end of expansion boss!!!

Photos and other highlights to come, it's getting late.
