Ah, thats right - any post-luclin expansion client will use the new graphics and geometry. Personally, I far preferred the old bazaar - too much running around in the new one. But then again, Live Bazaar's were massive lagfests due to the huge number of models in the client's line of sight and Sony had to do something to make it better.
Since pretty well everyone that would use a server these days is going to have the newer clients, I think I'm stuck with using the new Bazaar. It'll be a good opportunity to learn though since I'll have to fix the zones for PoK, Nexus, and ... I forget the name of that moon city now.
Hey, Lavastorm and the DE areas were changed in Live too - lol, more editing!
SQL is actually pretty easy once you get going. Setting up joins is a bit cerebral particularly when you get into multiple nested joins - but hopefully it won't be required for what I want to do.
