Frequently Asked Questions

General

Why should I play on the Al'Kabor Project when Server X does Y?

• 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.

What is/How big is the server population?

• Server population averages from the 40's off-peak to 220+ characters at prime time.

Website for tracking EverQuest Emulator server population trends is here: https://unixgeek.com/eqemu.html

Where can I find the Client to Download

• Please check out our Getting Started section.

How many "Active" characters can I run at the same time/and or is "Boxing" allowed?

• Players are allowed up to 3 active characters in game, plus one account dedicated to function as a Bazaar Trader. For greater detail, please see our Forum Post

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 openning an active Finder window and press the Shift, Command (⌘), and period symbol (.) keys in combination. To hide them again, just repeat the key combination.

Can I use my scroll wheel to switch to 3rd person view?

• Unfortunatly not, our client doesn't support this feature. The way to achieve a similar result is to hit the F9 key twice and then use the PGDN and PGUP buttons

Why is my non-QWERTY keyboard not working correctly in game?

• The default client is packaged with the QWERTY keyboard layout file. This can be changed by replacing the keyboard.txt in your TAKP folder with the one made for your locality keyboard.txt by nationality. Please note that several are still missing and will be uploaded as we can find/make them
