There's no reason he shouldn't try to get direct x9.. I forgot this was 2004 and everyone had windows 2000 and direct x5 is the "new thing" and everyone had it. Nowdays, if you went to best buy or walmart and bought the most expensive computer there, you would login to find you have 5 framerate on direct x5, yet probably 500 on direct x9.
And honestly, 2x exp never lasts, this isn't real tibia, its a fucking Open Tibia server. Real tibia could be lowrate cause it WAS real tibia. Now, everytime a lowrate [2x exp or so] comes on, everyone just gets lvl 30-40 and half quits after the first OB. Solution? Make it easier to recover after you die and lose everything.. By using rates like mastercores. You need to make a server so that
1. Everyone has good framerate
2. Decent connection for all.
3. Medium rates that even noobs can deal with.
Mastercores proved this, so I'm pretty sure you all can agree.. Oh and to secure your database *cough cough EliteOT's*
i'm agreeing with you (i can only play on dx9), just saying i don't think the tibianic staff is gunna take the time to do it
