P2002 switched to Titanium because they were forced to after we closed source on them before Haynar fixed major issues with the netcode that was making raiding a linkdeath fest. They launched Kunark without disciplines or boats functional, so they certainly couldn't handle netcode.

It probably would have been easier for us had we gone with Titanium in the first place. We chose to go with the older client. This is not something that will change. Frankly playing AK from P99 for me wasn't that big a deal so I don't understand the disdain. People play these emus for the classic experience, but don't want a classic client? Seems illogical to me. I suspect that had p99 launched with trilogy, that few would be complaining about clients.

We did discuss adding mousewheel camera. I wouldn't object to this personally if I could somehow know that it would get us significantly more players, but I would hate to compromise on this for nothing. TAKP devs disagree on many issues and this is one of them however.
