Despite its massive failure, eqclassic had a functioning Trilogy client. I always wondered why the devs stuck with Titanium here. I mean, I am sure the Trilogy client meant a ton more work but was that the only reason? I have no idea how to build an emu server so I genuinely curious.

My understanding--I could be mistaken--was that P99 uses Titanium simply because that's what Eq-Emulator used. I believe this project originally started out as a faster alternative to EQC and immediate availability was more important than adherence to all classic features--many of which were patched in later on. EQC seems to have been run by perfectionists. Since EQC still isn't finished and likely never will be it's safe to say P99's more pragmatic approach was also the correct one. Suits me fine. I've no love for the Velious UI.

Sounds about right, i would imagine that the data between the client and the server have changed A LOT from the trilogy era to how ever many expansions Titanium came with.
Using the base server from EQEmu was definitely a lot faster than starting from scratch, and a wise move.
