I agree. Depending on Verant patches kinda puts the power
in Verant's hands. It's a dream, but I hope someday there's a completely independent version of the emulator that works with the core cd install.
Of course the advantage to working with the latest version of
the client is the fact that all the netcode is up to date and bug
free. But this can be a dire disadvantage when Verant versions
up and all your work is rendered useless.
I think the only full proof way of getting arround this is to stick with a static client version (cd install?). One in which people will no longer have complaints about. It may involve alot of re-development but hey, it takes the power out of verant's hands!
