I think what we have here is a state of confusion and lack of information and clear communication. Let me pose a few simple questions:
- who is doing what? It looks like we're talking about more than one project here, and I for one am more than a little confused.
- which projects are using the EQ client (and engine) and which are using their own?
- which are using the EQEmu server and which are using their own?
As I said in my earlier post, providing information is the best way to put people at ease. Some of what I'm seeing here seems to stem from confusion from groping for what's really going on.
I'd also like to step up and defend KhaN here. He does good work, but he's been limited by the EQ client's capabilities (and much more severely by OpenZone's capabilities). Part of the heat he's taking is my fault -- he's been after me for ages to add more capabilities to OpenZone to take full advantage of everything the EQ client can do, but I've been too busy (and it requires using their new file format, at which I havent looked even once). So once again, please stop the flaming. It benefits no one and only sours people on what might become some very interesting projects.
