okay easy nuff here.
EQ is always changing things to save bandwith, also they make a change on their internal servers it works they say hey Ship it...so you get the patch...along with 50k other peeps..then they realize WHOA WTF opcode 0x002 is sending 512bytes of data not 128. so look at all that wasted data X 50k peeps. so what do they do? they repatch and change the size of the opcode. now at this point most peeps think " so? " well that one while minor change also makes EQEMU have to change say the struct for 5 different things. hence the constant battle.
Story above same for new expansions/added features.
Eqemu has been here a good LONG while i dont see it going the way of EthernalQuest any time soon.
Btw Good 1st post Welcome to EQEMU
