TAKP is currently in the Planes of Power expansion which is the final expansion the server will get. The server will not advance past the PoP era. The current level cap is 65 with lots of Luclin and Planes of Power AAs available to acquire.<p><p>

:* This is the only server aiming to recreate the Al'Kabor server and the unique community it fostered. There is a tremendous amount of effort put into getting details correct. We are also using a Era-Accurate client with native Mac OS support, as opposed to the Titanium Client that many other projects are retrofitting.

==How to disable Luclin models?==
:* On Mac, edit your eqclient.ini found in ~/username/Library/Application Support/EverQuest/
:* On Windows, edit the eqclient.ini in the folder where you unzipped your TAKP files.
 
Set AllLuclinPcModelsOff=TRUE
 
This also allows use of the famous horse bug that existed on AK where you don't have the limitations of horse speed up/down that you do with Luclin models on.
 
'''Please note''', you may need to show hidden files to find the eqclient.ini.  You can do this by opening an active Finder window and press the Shift, Command (⌘), and period symbol (.) keys in combination.  To hide them again, just repeat the key combination.
