I'd be for becoming titanium-compatible if it's possible. At least then, we have an actual box set we can point people to, hopefully for months to come, and say "go buy that and you'll be compatible." SOE wins on that too, since that hopefully means a few Titanium sales.
Mattmeck pointed out that sometimes they'll release a CD box set and quietly update the contents while calling it the same name -- ie, 2 months from now they might still sell "Titanium" but they now burn the CD's with that current patch instead of the patch that was on when they first started selling Titanium. If that's the case, then it might just be more problems for us (even moreso since somebody will have paid money for a product that won't work). If you are (reasonably) certain there won't be multiple Titanium versions, then I'm totally in favor of it.

I really like the idea of having a version of the EMU that would be compatible with the CD install of the Titanium Edition. The people that already have a compatible version that works with another version of the EMU would be fine, and people like me that have a client that is too old to work would finally be able to play.

Well, like you said, Sony freely distributes EQ, so why can't you?
What if you got a couple mirrors, and distributed the build that was needed for the emu?
I'm not sure that's entirely legal though, its just a suggestion.

AOL freely distributes the AOL client. If you ran an AOL server, theoretically, you'd get in serious trouble for distributing the AOL client for the purpose of being compatible with your AOL server.
If you said your AOL server works with such and such AOL CD's.. that's different.

I can let Cis use my car, heck I can let ANYONE use my car, but that doesnt mean you can let someone use my car.
Sony lets you USE there software, read the fine print, you do NOT own it, you buy the right to USE it.

Sorry, couldn't pass up on this opportunity to chuckle at unfortunate typos. The rest of the post, however was a very good analogy and one I will use when talking with some people on another forum who don't understand this very concept.

That's not really what I was going for.
But what if you just made it work for the official download? It pretty much never changes and so people don't need to do illegal things like download from warez sites.

No difference, if you play with a legal client download or a Warez client download, You don't pay use of this program if you don't take a sony account and pay each month.

Making Emu compatible with any off the shelf package isn't going to work.
The issue is that Sonys packages can contain a client that was never available from the Sony patcher, so people would have to keep buying these packages to keep playing Emu. Every release/update I've installed has always resulted in a client download even though I just installed it.
Sony might as well not bother to put the client on the CD/DVD. Maybe they don't. Never bothered to look.
Also, as people have pointed out, there is availability issues with these complete package distributions.
This project is basicly dying a slow death as long as you don't keep Emu compatible to live. This came very evident to me when I hadn't played Emu for a over a year and found less than half the servers there were when I last played. This could easily be attributed to the fact that people can't get the client to even try playing.

In my opinion this is the best thing ever to happen to EqEmu. Walmart here has Titanium for less than $18 - We finally got a Minilogon server up and running - Thank you Fathernitwit
