A few questions about newer servers:

Not trying to thread hijack, but why create a new thread on the same topic.

Since we can now use SoF clients and I guess we can start Drakkin races correct ?

If so then where do they start out at ? I thought the new city was incomplete and the surrounding zones incomplete since PEQ is only finished up to PoP.

SoF only suported on selected servers and those servers start them out wherever they start everyone else =) (in most cases) - i know Sh has an actual Drakin city turned on

SoF zones are non playable atm since there are no map files for them

The server is mine and is just plain vanilla PEQ from SVN.

well peq has absolutly no data for SoF you will be able to load into drakin strating city but it will be totaly empty

Well even if I cannot start out as a Drakkin, I am sure the new client has many reasons to switch over to it.

Over half of the SoF zones do have .map files, so they are definitely just as usable as Titanium zones. All zones are completely empty, so if you want to use them, you would have to create everything in them from scratch, including doors and zone lines (which are a bit of a pain).

I added a new rule a while back that will let you chose a separate zone for SoF clients to start in when they create a character. If you don't set that rule, then they will just start in the same place that you have all Titanium clients starting in, or they will start in Crescent Reach by default if you don't have the variable set for startzone.

Drakkin are fully functional and in the latest releases, they even save all of the appearance stuff you set when you create them. I have them set to start in Crescent Reach, on Storm Haven, but you could start them where ever you like.

Well unfortunately I have not played EQ live since LDoN so I have no idea of the Drakkin other than what I have read. That is the cool thing about EQ was the diversity of the races and classes, the more the merrier if you ask me. Crescent Reach was the starting city for the Drakkin on live anyway right ? In PEQ I do not remember Crescent Reach being spawned or was it ?
