The Evolution of Norrath
TaiPow: Age of Discovery is built for the explorer who remembers the thrill of the first time they stepped into Greater Faydark or the Commonlands. We have engineered a massive shift in how you experience the world by ensuring that everything remains accessible to our community while remaining shrouded in mystery.
We focus on a polished, high-quality experience within Classic through Planes of Power. We keep the classic challenge and grouping mechanics while injecting a creative soul into Norrath. Here, your maps won't tell you everything, and your memories of 20 years ago are only the beginning of the story.
The TaiPow Experience
True-to-Lore Customization
There are no "out of place" additions here. Every custom NPC, item, and quest is designed to feel like it was always meant to be part of Norrath, expanding on the stories you already love without breaking the classic theme.
Duo-Friendly Design
The world is balanced for two players (or one two-boxer) utilizing two bots per character. Challenge the unknown with your closest ally; most high-end encounters are tuned for small groups, with a few legendary exceptions where you'll want to find friends.
The Joy of the Hunt
Since we don't have a massive wiki, you get to experience "World Firsts" again. Discovering a new mob or a hidden quest line actually means something in TaiPow. You have a chance to discover once again.
Dynamic Scaling
Our engine allows us to adjust the world dynamically. This ensures that even as you discover new, custom challenges, the difficulty remains rewarding and epic for your specific group size.
Rules of Engagement
To maintain a high quality community environment, we ask all players to follow these core guidelines.
Play Nice Policy
Respect your fellow adventurers. We have a standard play nice policy in effect. Training mobs onto others, intentional griefing, or toxic behavior will not be tolerated. Keep the community spirit of Norrath alive.
Boxing & Bots
- Two-Boxing Allowed: You may run a maximum of two active game clients at any time.
- Bot Configuration: Each character (toon) is allowed to summon up to two bots.
- Full Group Potential: By two-boxing, a single player can technically manage a full group of six (2 players plus 4 total bots).
Third Party Software
- MacroQuest (MQ): The use of MacroQuest is permitted on TaiPow: Age of Discovery.
- No Warping: While MQ is fine for utility, any form of warping is strictly prohibited. Play fair and travel the world as intended.
