there used to be a page you could go see what was left to be killed to unlock a server. do these new tlp servers have that as well and if so where is it located?
No, they do not, unfortunately. The current/previous tlp's didn't have it either for most of their life--eqplayers.com stopped working pretty early in Fippy/Vulak's history. A good rule of thumb overall is that if it gives a systemwide message it is required for progression, and if it doesn't, it is not. There may be one or two exceptions to that (velious armor completions and epics I don't think are still required but I could be wrong) but at least for 18 or 19 out of 20 expansions on Fippy so far, it was just the systemwide mobs.
