The TAKP client is from the December 2002 (about 15 months and two expansions after the Trilogy Client was released) era and is based on the MAC client that was used for Macintosh players on the Mac-only Al'Kabor Server on EQ Live. This client supports all client features and expansions that were available at this month in the Planes of Power era. Other emulated servers use later era clients and may or may not remove some of the client's newer features to try and more closely mimic the classic experience (classic in the sense of an older era of EQ, not merely pre-Kunark).
Expansions Supported
Requirements
- DirectX 8.1; Version 8.0a is listed as "DirectX 8.0a (4.08.01.0881)
Modifications
TAKP's supported client however has several modifications that were done to improve the user experience:
- A built-in frame rate limiter was put in to cap the frame rate. (clients this old did not have one)
- The client's aggressive CPU use was reduced so it will not needlessly over-utilize an entire CPU core.
- An Alt-Enter fullscreen feature was implemented to enable full screen mode.
- Missing environmental sound effects added.
- The recently surfaced Luclin zone music was added.
