Whats so wrong with V6 other then the lack of UDP, im rather curious how v5 is considered better to you guys.

It plays different, looks a bit different, and people had 5 years to get used to the last v5 client. People are always afraid of changes.

That's reason #1.

I don't think v6 is really worse than v5 (besides the no microphone support), but v5 and v6 are worse than what we had before (from a player perspective)

Definitely this. v4 felt more like graal in general. I think it has a lot to do with the login-screen and server selection as it doesn't feel very "graal".

better playerlist, better option windows, can actually highlight level text in peope's profiles (ya i went there), and the font doesn't look stupid

how is the playerlist any better? Both have in-game playerlist's and they both are using scripted playerlist's which have nothing to do with the actual client itself but the script.

and you can highlight the level in people's profile.. but for some odd reason it doesnt show it is being highlighted but you in-fact can.. as a scripter i have to do it often to copy level names, hopefully that can be a quick fix tho.

can't you change font???

new playerlist LOOKS worse and the font is visually different on v6 vs v5 no matter the size/font you choose. it is improved using the windows_xp theme (the ingame windows i mean) but that ruins everything else.

can you show me an example of the font issue, like a screenshot maybe? and show me whats worse with the new playerlist? i beg to differ strongly based on experience with both and the unoticability between the 2 when certain options were checked.

You can set different themes for in-game and external windows now though.

You can add your own. But I agree with you. Graal v2 back in 2001 was the best looking client as far as login and server selection go imo. Sure it's nice with a news feed and subscription info, but I don't really care of it. I just want to join a server and play anyway.
