I think MySql 5x is not supported simply because the few devs we have working on the emulator, are better spending their time on bigger issues, they have no need for it.
I've been told (by Devs) that EqEmu currently handles a large player-base much better with the original MySql4.0, which would never be a problem for me and my two or three friends.
In any case, this is not my goal. One goal i have (and everyone else should too), is to help this project in any way I can.
Like you want to see, MySql 5x incorperated in EqEmu, I wanted to see other things. for example, I wanted LoY zones, and also just like they were when I played on live. Today, although I know I'm still standing on the "tip of the Iceburg", I can say, "LoY zones are playable", and I like to think, although it's just my database, other people in this community can find use in it.
You can do the same with MySql 5x, as other people have started too.
In these forums, it's like a marathon race,where there are the "long-runners" , people who have been around for years and done nothing but help out. Then there are the "sprinters", people who start out full speed ahead, look like they are going to win the race (very promising)! but they run "too fast", and soon drop out.
In my book, rojadruid is a long-runner, and a senior. So, I have nothing but respect for him. And even if I did think he was wrong, I'd be real careful on how I told him.
