I have always preferred SoD since we got it fully functional. Though, recently I have started using UF since it is virtually as good as SoD once you copy over the needed files.
Since my server has a lot of SoF/SoD content, about 95%+ of my players run clients later than Titanium (mostly SoD).
The new expansion should be coming out soon and I expect it to be on Steam prior to release. I am hoping that it is a complete client (not missing files like UF). If so, it would be a good candidate for a new client upgrade. We will need to work out the opcodes, but most of them shouldn't be too bad. Then, there will certainly be a few more issues to work out like the bags over 10 slots, but I think we will be able to get those resolved as well.
The good thing is that if Steam follows how they handled previous clients, the new expansion will be available for download from them free for anyone who has purchased SoF, SoF, UF, or HoT from Steam. When they update the download, they have updated it for all clients in the past. This means you should be able to copy your old Steam EQ folder to another location and delete the one in the Steam folder, then download the client you purchased again and it should be the new expansion. I am sure there will be threads on it when that happens, so keep an eye out!
For anyone running EQ from your Steam folder, I HIGHLY recommend making a backup of the folder you use now in another location. Otherwise, if Steam updates, you will likely not be able to use the new client for a while.
