Correct, you will absolutely NOT be able to connect without a Titanium client, which is easy to find if you use your favorite search engine.
There is reasoning for this, though.
I really enjoy classic-PoP. It is and has been my favorite time period in EQ1 since I started, which was when I was 11, and has since been a big part of my life, especially this particular time period in EQ history.
My mission is simple. Classic EQ-PoP will be perfected with the option of bots, and a little custom content here and there in addition to particular quests being simplified(Velious faction armor as an example.) I want there to be an economy, and I would prefer the server itself to be known as a "plat-based-server" as I have made adjustments for it to be described as such.
GoD armor sets are now available by means of plat. They reside in a location to be known for merchants selling wares. I have implemented Leet augs as well, but you get to find them for yourself, and no hints will ever be given about it.
OoW armor sets should be available by the end of the evening.
I am taking the route of armor sets being purchaseable (prices based on tier leading all the way to the final armor set in the current item database) and having bosses (first come, first serve in terms of expansion and effort respectively) Any bosses that are currently in the database and spawn appropriately will be tuned, and will have correct loot tables, save any armor set mats, and things of that nature. (Anguish as an example. Ture, OMM, AMV, etc will have loot tables for weapons, jewelry, odds-and-ends, and Tacvi for weapons, special visible armor pieces, augs)
I'm thinking that most post-PoP quests rewards (DoD class specific reward pieces from vish+yar'lir piece quest as an example.) will be sold on merchants as well.
The armor set merchants will all be located in the same place. The boss loot that isn't assigned to some sort of post-PoP custom content (as in the DoD class specific reward mentioned above) will be hidden throughout the world.
Just to reiterate a point I tried to make in most "Server opening" posts:
Huge thanks goes out to Dav00d, and all of the AxClassic people!
