Each client version (Titanium, SoF, UF, Rof, etc) also comes with their own individual perks and quirks in the way they integrate with the server. This all has to do with the fact that the main EQEmu (project) devs/teams cannot/will not "hack the client files" to accomplish their goals with the PEQ project. The individual server owner would be acting on their own accord on how to handle those scenarios. Example - Using the old highpass with the RoF2 client is doable, but you're on your own to make it work. (or find help in the community for it).

What it all boils down to, as you run into all the various bugs, you will have to decide which client would better suit YOUR needs and preferences for a server. People hate Titanium, for some performance reasons and other people will love Rof2 for it's QoL features, etc, but will also come with trying to make some things work, that you wouldn't have to in Titanium.(and vise-versa).

If you see something broken (or not functioning properly), you need to fix it or, find a workaround for it. Something I did in the past with RoF2 client and that "elevator" in Gfay (a quick fix) was a simple port script on an NPC, which put your toon up where the elevator normally takes you:

Code:
sub EVENT_SAY {

  if($text=~/hail/i) {
	quest::movepc(54,-140.6,-13.05,76.16,257);
  }
}
It really is all about what kind of server you're going to have, which will be the deciding factor in how much work you will have to get all the bugs out of it and working like you want it. Have Fun
Thank you, I do understand that, I really just want to play. I started EQ in 2000 and played it till WOW came out and played it till they started catering. So I never got as far in EQ as I would have liked.

In reality I am an IT guy that setups networks and equipment and scripts things to accomplish my goals. I am in no way a programmer, wish I had taken it further than cobol and pascal. I have not worked with that in over 20 years. If I knew how to fix these issues for the clients I would.

I guess the mystical thing is that in Titanium the lifts are fine and in ROF2 the character falls thru even on servers that support ROF2 as their only client. So it has to be something between client and eqemu that is not sinking. You can ride the lifts down but not up when using ROF2.

So it will be Titanium. I set the server up as a place to just have some fun.

Again thanks.
