You're not accounting for the fact that they don't want to work for DBG lol.
I think they should have made it the day before 2/14 - Valentines day - then most of us could have lied to better half and said we were dedicating the entire day to them and not playing,
Well, they might have bought it

One of the advantages of a 20 year old game is that it will run on a potato. If boxers (MQ or manual) struggle to play the number of clients they are accustomed to, that seems revenue negative.

If you weigh the pros and cons. Crashing due to lack of resources or being unable to continue to advance characters stats/options due to a lack of updated structure could also lead to a loss of revenue. There's a scale somewhere that weighs potentials and in this case the scale tips towards the fact that 64 bit has been out for long enough and they had enough resources to finally go through with a conversion and those costs justify the update.
Being 64 bit has technically been an option since 2005, it's past due to receive the update to 64 bit. I personally don't expect it to change things too much. They're still running on their custom engine.

Absolutely - I'm not seeing game crashes due to resource limitations, though 1 is a pretty small sample size.
Like you, I'm skeptical that DBG has resources to allocate to do much more with the 64 bit space than the 32 bit space though.

Even more glad I don't "box" except traders, I suck up electricity instead, so with any luck the changeover won't hurt much, but still...the bugs and server crashes will certainly put a damper on things regardless, no matter who uses what.

For whatever reason, this made me think of the old console days going from 8-bit consoles to 16-bit consoles. Some of the lesser known systems simply put 2x 8-bit processors in their machine and called it 16-bit.
yea thats fair
MQ2 i bet is alot more fun to work on
cause you decide what you want to work on
even better idea
make EQ open source *game burns down* (eh maybe not)

Do we know if this is 64bit client ready by chance? I've looked around a little but didn't see much on a final notice of it.

No Sir, nothing ready.. alot of the smart people (programmers/code writers) are working on it. there is a donation thread (for most, some do it out of love/stockholm syndrom) if you want to throw a clam or 2 onto it.
i moved your 64bit question to the 64bit thread

Yuppers.
All PCs made withing the last 10 years? Have 64 bit versions of OS. You had the chance to use Windows 7 as a 32 bit. But that was the last version you could.
Yah I am kind of an idiot sometimes /shrug.Death, already a thread Sir

I know 99% of us have computer knowledge coming out our processors and are writing scripts and stuff all over the place but I found this easy to use site that you can just plug in your info and real easy steps to find said info to see if you can run the 64 bit coming 2/15/22.

There's a 32 bit version of windows 10...
I keep seeing this 4K comment. Do you know you can enable window scaling so that the window isn’t so small?
dont tell the secrets
Yes, it helps to a degree. I wouldn't mind a complete UI overhaul tho.
Windows scaling and ISBoxer window layouts do not work well for me on my 4k. I end up getting them way to big on the screen.
I think I'm allowed to troll every now and then lol
