Absolutely. I wish that 4.4 could be changed to support older clients i.e. Fresh PoP installation from CD-ROM. I understand that this can not be done because 12.02 was the update that changed the encryption( to break Showeq project). BUT Showeq broke that weak encryption again and Eqemu followed suit with its released server.

This moving target of development is pain the arse to say the least. These developers do not have specifications on the protocol nor the encryption. Development started with a reverse investigation/development point of view. The database has changed alot in 10.9.03 update and the database projects have to deal with this issue.

This project is not an easy undertaking and I hope that others know this.
