Hi, before you read below or respond please take a look at this issue: https://github.com/otland/forgottenserver/issues/1570
As you now know im going to talk about the future with OTs, seeing as both client active right now will be discontinued.
The best move on our part would be to use OTC, mainly since it seems to work pretty good and has most of the things we are after already implemented.
I propose that we contact the owners of OTC about updating the code style to match TFS, with this making it easier for developers to jump from project to project.
That more of us try to be more active with OTC, helping with both bugs aswell as finding bugs(something everyone can do).
Aswell as trying to keep the protocol as updated as posible, see it as doing something while we can. Prepare yourself that we might not be able to get the new protocols as easy as we can right now when the new client arries.
I will be adding a poll, mainly to see what others think.
We could just wait it out, with hope that they won't discontinue the standalone and or flash client.
Or we can move on to something else, while still keeping the support ofc(as OTC is right now) this way we still have the posibility to move back if we wish, this way allowing users to still use the older clients if they want and still are made.
But please leave a comment of what you think.

Edit:
To clarify; OTC is a C++ / Lua written client, you can compare it to the tibia standalone client.
It is usable right now, but it does have bugs both minor and major ones - so it is not a thing we can fully compare to the standalone client.
Another thing to note is that we could make it easy to change things that some want added / removed; ex animated text, cooldown system(actually remove the bars) - simply we can control both the server and client.
You can find the code here: https://github.com/edubart/otclient
