Let me just clarify.
I do agree MySQL 5.0 would be best to migrate to. Not so much for the features but for the fact that it is an active project and not obsolete. EQEmu needs to move forward.
However, I have to admit MySQL 4.1 is faster and uses less resources than 5.0. I won't hide that fact and tell everybody 5.0 is better in every way when it isn't.
As for 4.0, well it lacks the features of the above and also is slower than both. I voted for it because that is what PEQ runs, atm. It's obsolete unsupported software. HOWEVER, I do not want it to be forgotten at first. If a migration to 5.0 takes place, I do not want EQEmu to change to prevent use of 4.0 or 4.1. It should be backwards compatible, for at least the first year or so. Likewise, when 5.1 and 5.2 and so forth are out, I do not want 5.0 forgotten about. People deserve a choice.
