Any thoughts about the info in latest producers letter
Hi,
thanks for all the effort you are doing to keep Showeq going. But any of you masterminds have any thoughts about the info of a 64bit client comming next year to EQ?

How will that impact both Showeq and MySEQ?
Cheers

I can't speak for MySEQ.
For ShowEQ, it depends on what all they change. If this they're just taking the 32-bit code base and compiling it as 64-bit (with whatever minor changes if any are needed), then I don't think it will be a big deal. If they make any big changes, like network protocol, encryption, etc., then we may have some work to do.
Re: Any thoughts about the info in latest producers letter
Yep - just wait and see. Minimum is probably changing the size of some fields/data structures. Max, brushing up on encryption skills.
Re: Any thoughts about the info in latest producers letter
Should be able to get a glimpse on the Beta server, since they indicated the client would be pushed there first.
Re: Any thoughts about the info in latest producers letter
Official announcement is out now. Beta in next couple of weeks, and then test for a least a month before live. https://www.everquest.com/news/sixty...rs-and-clients
Re: Any thoughts about the info in latest producers letter
I agree, it is too early to tell. If it is just upgrading from 32 to 64 bit, hopefully it wont be that much work. If it is a total revamp of the encryption, network packets, what the client can see and such, then it might be very difficult and near impossible to get it functioning again.
Heading to bed. Have to work another 12...
Re: Any thoughts about the info in latest producers letter
Thanks a lot for your thoughts, i really hope it will be available after the switch to 64bit. It's so convenient to use, since i got limited playtime i can decide if its worth move into a zone or not :)
Keep on the good work!
Re: Any thoughts about the info in latest producers letter
Well I guess we'll find out tonight, fingers crossed!
Re: Any thoughts about the info in latest producers letter
Test server has been 64bit for over a month.
Re: Any thoughts about the info in latest producers letter
My bad, I've been out of the loop so long. I had no idea there was a working client for Test.
