Let me start with saying Hi:)

To make it short after after taking a longer break from EQ due to being you could say stressed out and overwhelmed i decided to play again.

Anyway to the questions :

1. Wich benefit would bring SoD or UF over SoF/Titanium install currently?
Back in oct. 2010 i sticked mainly with Titanium for my Boxes and i think SoF on my main.

2. Any Major changes/additions happened in the last 2 1/2 years ?

and

3. Accounts aren't getting deleted due to inactivity or ?

Welcome back aboard! No, we never delete any account/character, nor inactive and not even banned ones.

SoD/UF is much better on your pc for boxing and IMHO (after using Titan for a year and now UF for over a year and would never go back) a lot less buggy.

Server updatesWay to many updates to list I suggest scrolling through them.

GM's never delete accounts even if there banned ;)

Performance wise how they compare though back on my old PC i was running like 5 or 6 on one comp and 3-4 on a 2nd comp.

Or maybe i will just get ahold of em all .... to see , will still need to see if i remember all my login infos :(.

They actually run better than old Titanium. Titanium was a resource hog, SoD & UF are much better.

Ya the switch to UF literally let me load more toon's and still with less lag. Old pc let me do 4 that's it with titan with UF I did 6 and felt like it was still less lag with more toon's loaded lol

Now with new pc I do 18 toons with 0 lag and can still do other things like steam games or netflix np

UF/SoD over Titan hands down :!:

If you are going to be boxing again I would suggest looking into using MQ2 along with upgrading to SoD or UF. While you can do all kinds of crazy cool stuff with MQ2 even if you just used it for the MQ2fps plugin and /stick commands (way better than /follow) you will have a much easier time boxing than without. The MQ2fps plugin made a very noticeable difference on my older machine.

I got ahold of a UF copy yesterday and installed it so that part is done and was able to log in all my 9 accounts one by one and put em in my old guild that i had kept on another char.

But before i gonna box i gonna resub to isboxer first the comp could handle more or less all 9 copies fine with max settings/reso + sound + window mode and i had like 6 gig memory still free.

Only came across 2 issues at the time :
1. With the 9 clients running and attempting to focus a different client it wasn't as smooth anymore aka couldn't alt tab but needed to minimize one client to be able to get to a different one.

2.When attempting to go with only one client to full screen at max reso it locked up and restarting gave a error message.

1st problem should be solved once i install isboxer + have a 2nd install of EQ with lower settings which in theory should allow me to run more accounts that i used in the past.

Does i want too now is the question not sure yet, but will see if i need extra dps or not.

In regards of MQ2 i know what it can do , in the past it was more like a tabu to speak off.
At the time i quit i actually was working on a Chatbot that would be able in game to answer simple questions and possible chat around with players, the idea was using to use MQ2 as a relay btw EQ and Irc and have in Irc a alice chatbot.

To bad though that one of the sites i used for MQ2 is no longer active wich was i believe Forum Romanum.
