Modern vs Legacy

Tip

In this article we will compare the two main versions of TazUO: the legacy version built on .NET Framework 4.7.2, and the modern version built on .NET 10 (Ne10). We will discuss their differences, performance considerations, and provide recommendations for new users.

TazUO Net10 (Modern)

The Net10 version represents the current evolution of TazUO, built on .NET 10, and is where active development is focused:

• Modern architecture: Built on .NET 10 for improved performance and optimizations.
• Integrated assistant: In-built assistant with features like auto-loot, auto-target, and more.
• Active development: Receives all new features and continuous improvements.
• Better performance: Benefits from .NET 10’s improved JIT compilation and memory management.
• Enhanced cross-platform support: Available on Windows, Linux, and macOS with automated builds.

TazUO Legacy (.NET 4.7.2)

• Legacy architecture: Built on .NET Framework 4.7.2, limiting performance and optimization.
• Integrated assistant: Lacks many assistant features.
• Stagnant development: Only receives critical bug fixes or user-contributed pull requests.
• Limited cross-platform support: Primarily designed for Windows but runs on Linux and MacOS with mono.

System Compatibility 💻

• Legacy: Compatible with older Windows systems, requires .NET Framework 4.7.2.
• Net10: Requires .NET 10 runtime but offers superior native cross-platform support.

Which Version Should You Choose?

Note

For new users, we recommend TazUO Net10 for the following reasons:

1. Active development: Receives all new features and improvements.
2. Better performance: Leverages modern .NET 10 optimizations.
3. Improved stability: More frequent bug fixes.
4. Future-proof: Net10 is the direction TazUO is heading.

Consider Legacy only if:

• You absolutely need specific plugin support.
• You are using an older system that cannot run .NET 10.
• Your server requires features available only via legacy plugins.
