Just a heads up, but distributing files like that is illegal and gives SoE grounds to shut your server down. Enabling SoF so that players with that client can play on your server is ok, but distributing files so Titanium users can see SoF content is illegal. I am leaving this post up, but just wanted you to know, in case you are concerned about your server possibly being shut down. Though, SoD distributes a ton if illegal files and has for years and they haven't had any legal troubles from SoE that I know of. I think Winter's Roar was the last server to be shut down by SoE. Either they are just tired of dealing with it, don't have the funds to pay legal and research into it, or they are using emu servers to get ideas for things to implement into EQLive. My guess is a combination of all 3 of those though lol. But, that doesn't mean that you couldn't still be putting your server and yourself at risk by doing so. Honestly, I don't see why SoE doesn't start their own EQEmu that players can run and just charge a small fee for it. They could use EQ1 as a testbed and if it is successful, implement the same thing for their other newer MMOs.

Sorry if this post looks like a negative one. I am just trying to give you a warning ahead of time just in case you weren't already aware of the possible issues with this.

BTW, those new races and icons look really cool
