add support for layering then those people could not
see it, and making some compatible thing would make
things very laggy for them.
Well, certain servers could always prevent people without 3D support from playing the server...I mean, look at all the great 3D games out, like UT, and hundreds of thousands of servers and players player it...they all have 3D cards.
