But as I said before, Ironyt should have given the option to the community of making their 7.4 sprite pack from day one, and Medivia wouldn't have lost all those players.
Demand for an old sprite pack is one thing. It's not the same as demand for developer support for community-made custom sprite packs. The focus in this thread has very much been on the former, but that won't guarantee that the latter even exists.
It's a win-win situation for him, he has nothing to do with Tibia's graphics anymore (as its just an unofficial pack) and the community can continue to play with the old graphics if they want to do so.
That's only in the best case scenario. In worst case it's a lose-lose, because Iryont spends time developing a feature that is not demanded. People might even expect an official old sprites pack because Iryont spent time building the tools/support for it.
