this is a VERY good question and cna posibly lead to an issue which we will be unable to resolve.
On LIVE when enw expansion is released and NEW features/global changes are added, ALL players with older clients are simply PATCHED to be compateable with the new features. Thsi way even if you own pre-kurnark EQ and never bought any expansions- you STILL can play and use anything that LATESt expansion player can cuase SOE will patch your client to new standart. And while you cannot go to any new zones you will be able to use anything/interact with anything that will be brought from the new zones.
The problem EMU will unavoidably run into that we UNABLE to patch client (or rather its illigal for us to do), and the Titaium client most of us use now inherntly NOT capable of suporting great number of things that SoF can support which will lead to MASSIVE incompatability issues.
For exmaple- people with SoF client will see that they have a new type of Resist added called Coruption - the T client does not aware of such property.
What will happen if a T client gets a Coruption resist spell casted on it?
T-client simply has no means of handling this input.
I am sure there will be more issues like this one...
