Tala probably doesn't release a 9.6 because it would maybe hurt shadowcore's players amont, his server was 9.6 since it was released
This is not true. Unfortunately, I'm one of few who is actively sharing my work with the community, and I don't really ask anyone for anything in return (you could see requiring OtLand premium for the private subversion access as indirectly asking people to support OtLand, but that's it). I'm not even going to mention the people that go to the Marketplace board when they have a script they want to "share", I just hope I can delete that board one day without seeing people complain about it.
If I wanted to be the only server with 9.6 I wouldn't have commited any of my changes to the private Subversion, I wouldn't have updated otitemeditor and I wouldn't have shared the 9.6 otb with anyone. I want to see OpenTibia move forward and the public 9.6 server engine release is not that far away, the last feature (offline training) is currently being tested on ShadowCores.
It actually makes me happy to see more 9.6 servers around, I really dislike how so many servers choose to stay on 8.6 (or any other version for that matter). While there are some servers with good reasons to (servers that want to bring back the old-school feeling), most of them have really bad reasons (elfbot, bad otb, etc.). Pretty much everyone who was going to play on ShadowCores before the launch asked us to make it 8.6, but we refused to, the server barely had 50 players online when it started, was being DDoS attacked for days, here we are three months later and still growing.
