Anniversary Edition Support

[Rogean]

FatherNitWit has been working on this, and its nowhere near playable atm. We don't have many logs for anniversary edition to go off of, so its a bit harder to find out everything we need.

With that being said, if you DO have logs between the dates of 2/13/07 to 3/14/07 get a hold of me or FNW.

Bummer, last log I have is 1/14/07 :(

IMO, I think we should focus on getting all the features supported concerning titanium and the expansions it provides before jumping to a new client that provides what 2 or 3 expansions after depths of darkhallow.. and peq is currently on planes of power release. I would wait. New anniversary editions are always being released, and you could always support a new edition. But its seems stupid to start supporting every anniversary edition that pops up, when they are only supporting a few new expansions. We loose more than we gain. The amount of time wasted on getting the new anniversary client to work (and im talking all opcodes, aa's, etc) could be better spent getting titanium as close to 100% supported first. Whats missing from titanium currently well.. in short alot. Heres just a few to name:
----
LDON System
Tasks (referring to quest tasks)
Bandoliers
Leadership Exp Panel
Shrouds
DoN Missions
.... and probably alot more
----

Titanum supports enough of expansions to keep the community busy for awhile. Ofcourse there are probably several people who doubt my thoughts, but you will be just wasting time if you start support for another anniversary client. Focus on the one at hand (Titanium). We can always upgrade to a new client after we get all the expansions supported by Titanium supported by EQEmulator.

my little rant for the year...

problem is, titanium is becoming a "diminishing resource". its not available commercially, and eventually, the ebay copies will run out.

moving to a newer baseline that is stable (assuming the anniversary version is playable "off the disc") is not a bad idea. but its going to take time/effort so we have to be patient.

my only peeve currently is the LS issue.

hmm... no one must of bought titanium where i live then.. my local gamespot, and EB Games has about 5 copies each of titanium and about 5 copies out of anniversary at both stores... dunno.

Nice, and very interesting I'll have to buy a couple boxes just in case. I would love to see the if some of the zone re-vamps could be implemented or some of the newer features. I loved the new freeport.

Might just be he's giving new people arriving to EqEmu a legal way to play again, since Titanium is just about sold out.
I still have access to one of my friends EQ accounts (I think he paid a year and never plays), anyways, someone said the FP boat was running again and it is. Only thing is, it's a much smaller skiff with no visible cabin access, and it got to Freeport in a fraction of the time it used to take (was so fast, I either missed the stop in OOT, or it doesn't at all). They must have made this for the Progression Server players.
I didn't really like the new skiff that much, I always thought the old one looked like something out of a painting.

EDIT:
I was just at www.walmart.com looking for Anniversary and saw they have Titanium for sale again $18.82 - ironically, Anniversary is out of stock but Titanium is available.
