Topic says it all.
Only reason off the top of my head is gamble items, and in my opinion thats useless for Pservers.
I was actually going through this with bob yesterday i think.
The very reason why im not ever going to these files.
Im happy with what i got at this time, NO need to upgrade to 08...
It's the same with runescape private servers, they release a new revision and developers start working on that new revision each time, its pathetic.
Not even much changed which is what confuses me.
Now that we have the 08 files, i dont see a HUGE difference at this time (Private server wise)
Well 1 nice thing that I noticed, that you dont need asm edit every map to add its own picture. you just add map, his picture and write info to map.xml
On 07 client this becomes too complicated (at least for me)
There are multiple reasons I use 08 client.
First reason almost every private server hack is made for 07 files. Because of the address changes less people are able to hack.
Also the 08 client makes use of the xml files. So people can't just add random maps to the client.
There are also some great features for 08 client. Like custom map banners and such.
Well somehow it seems that the 2008 files loads faster but tell me then why jacob why did you used the 2008 files?
-GambleItems.
-ChannelRule & bOnlyDuelMap checks.
-K/D Ratio.
-Map banners from the lobby.
I know these features can be added to the '07 files but if you look at it from a non-experienced person's view, it's his only way.
From the players' point of view :
-Faster gameplay (People complain about them not being able to TBF on '07).
It's only useless for customized p-servers, not Ijji-like ones.
My reasons are that they are very strict on xml loading which is something I like + hacks aren't really out for 08 since noone posted address dumps yet.
Lone's hacks work for 2008 servers.
Hey it's not bullshit. Game play is faster from 08 onwards. Play on a 2008 server or Ijji and then try a 2007 server. You'll know.

Phoenix is right.
There are many 2008 hacks out there and it's easy to make you can also make a hack function sided then you won't even need adresses
Because I gave them.
oh well, theres a few very small features that are somewhat nice, but in my opinion not enough to switch.
As i think i've said before, i really only care for 04, 07, and the late 09+ files.
