Default well...

I think that they do have 1 or 2 good ideas... One of the ideas is keeping client data off the server side. It reduces server lag and can all and all improve the speed of the game. (my opinion) And i know that this would require a rewrite.. And i know no one is up to doing that. The idea that EqEMU holds is the same setup as verant. All client data is held server side, and loads with the character profile when someone enters the game. But that requires bandwidth and reduces log on time. It also requires extra memory server side. Another example of that is the "items" list which is held server side. Increases search and summon time for each item. I do understand the reason for having it there though. If someone were to log in with a conflicting list of items and summon something that serverside did not have, then it could cause eq server to crash. But a Uniform items list could be released. Other than that they really dont have that much going for them.. They're server managment console is the only other thing i think is a good idea. But opinions are ass holes, and im an ass hole. As far as "Ethical" is concerened.. I'm just talking about wares and similar topics.

just my 2c. :twisted:
