[HaureN]

heya!

so guys sorry to ask this HERE but...

i want to know what the practical differences of rathena and herc, iam backing to ro dev from 2012 and iam in process of choosing the emulator

obs: i know rathena uses cpp and herc c something like that, but how about other tech differences like that? wish emulator is ahead etc...

this topic still true?

thanks!

content - ra is far ahead from herc however with regards to client functionality herc is far better.

For most scenario like standard application of current rA, 2018-06-21 client will do the work but for some skills, items that are available you will not be able to use it. E.G. ultrahigh-itemID, expanded novice new skills and guild skills if ever.

True, for now. Enabling use of newer clients is already in the works. No ETA though, sadly.

Any update on this, maybe?

If we haven't given an update, then there's probably no update..

When there's an update, we'll update you all..

I know I'm responding a bit late. But I've also recently looked into both, and I highly recommend rAthena simply because it has far more entries in its item database which has made it much easier for me in my quest to get my server up to date with kRO. As for the aforementioned problem with ultra high item IDs that can be fixed (Or so it has been working for me for a day or so now with extensive testing.)

Maybe I overlooked something with Hercules? So I could go be wrong!
