Win64
 
Just out of curiousity, have you guys thought about compling a Win64 or Linux64 version of it? Optimize it for the 64-bit architecture?

There wouldn't be a whole lot of change that would have to be done for this, really all you would have to do would be compile it on that platform with a compiler built for that platform. Unless it changes the basic data types like int to 8 bytes instead of 4 in which case most of the structs that access the data and format it for the packets would be completely wrong and it owuld require some major rewrites.

Well
 
It does change some of the structures... makes int != long, etc. You have to be careful when dealing with a 64-bit server and 32-bit client for the packets, etc.

But since eqemu uses int8, int16, int32, etc all you'd need to do is fix the typedefs, if anything.
