Titanium vs Secrets of Faydwer

[Rogean]

How many people use Secrets of Faydwer? We will most likely be removing support for SoF within the coming months.

[Temptation]

1st

Titanium here bro

[GiavannaSK]

Titanium here as well

[JenJen]

ive never heard anyone in guild chat or ingame at all mention using SoF

[Goraxx]

I used to use SoF fairly often. Now i just stick to Titanium

[Deadmantis]

I bought SoF for 5 bucks I think, when I considered going back to playing EQLive. Uninstalled it when the free 30 days ran out.

Here I use Titanium

[Feachie]

is there a way to use luclin graphics without sof? unless i'm missing it, i only saw a guide that says to use sof for it.

[P99Millertime]

Big T here.

[Atmas]

I'm aware of the irony of me posting it but I would suggest unless you actually use SoF or know someone using SoF it's kind of pointless to post and just role call the 99% of people using Titanium.

From what I have read in the thread on "How to enable Luclin Graphics", that is the only way.

There is a separate thread on how to "Make EQ Look Significantly Better Graphically" that has a .RAR download to update s3d files to make zones look better using Luclin textures (not Luclin character models). It can be added to the Titanium client.

oh no i mean the character textures.

there are some models for certain races i can't stand as classic, i was thinking about modding my client at some point but looks like too late :p

[hedbonker]

I use Titanium here - I have Underfoot as well that I use on some of the other servers.

[Dr4z3r]

A poll might fit this topic better.

[Doors]

Titanium.

[Alkorin]

I use SoF almost full-time in order to enable Luclin models.

I recognise it's more of a pain to support two clients, but if you need someone with time on their hands to help you out with this, I will gladly volunteer.

[Ektar]

I think everyone but this last guy fails? He asked who uses SoF, not "what do you use"

from here on, don't post "I use titanium." Ektar has spoken.

[Jakanden]

Using SoF, but switching to Titanium due to the annoucement

[Guybrush]

While I use Titanium, I would definitely switch to SoF to get the luclin models if it wasn't so buggy

[Vendar]

titanium here.

luclin models make me wanna kill babies :(

[Alkorin]

There have already been polls about who prefers which generation of character models. Rogean asked a simple question... let's leave the preferences to another thread, please.

If you use the SoF client, and would like to see it survive, reply and let Rogean know that you're using it. If I'm the only one that cares, I'm fairly sure it won't live much longer. =p

[Eternal-Elf]

SoF here.

[Goraxx]

I imagine its being removed prior to red99 due to some of the nice little advantages the SoF client brings.

[mwatt]

I use SoF occasionally. I'd use it all the time if work was done on it to fix some remaining issues rather than work done to eliminate it's usage.

You didn't ask, but I'd like to offer an additional but related opinion here. SoF has three things going for it:
1) Better graphics (not the models, which I don't like).
2) Reportedly, it contains improvements to code over Titanium that make it a more stable client.
3) It is readily and cheaply available, vs. the expensive or questionable acquisition of Titanium.
Therefore, I really think it is worthwhile to spend time to make it work better with p99, not remove it.
Just my two copper.

[SirAlvarex]

I agree with points 2 and 3 of Mwatt. You can buy SoF for 10 bucks from steam (or atleast you could) or an online retailer. Titanium costs hundreds of dollars legally unless you buy an illegal copy off ebay. This of course will eventually go the way of Titanium, but it's nice for now.

That, and while newer clients != more stable, I'd take a guess that it probably is slightly more so than Titanium.

Are the only issues with SoF that
1) The original code was designed specifically for Titanium, thus changes would have to be made to fit SoF
2) You can't remove the new models from SoF
3) SoF has a few locked in features that are not classic (like #2)
?

I know 90% of the people here hate the new models, but I kinda like choice.
