i find open source mmorpgs the best the mess around with at first. atleast that way its legal. and alot easier to recode.

Ive seen this sort of post (lets make our own MMPROG) many many times - it looks simple enough but soon realise you got to design all your Mobs, tiles player and god knows what else. Normally it gets to the stage of a client with a man running about (not even mmorpg at this stage), maybe a few other bits and bobs and then falls flat on its face - hell ive not even seen anybody take the mir2 source code and make 1.9 yet (Chinese not included in this argument) - so making a whole new mmorpg is but a pipe dream.

Lets see how this works though - you want somebody who can code a game, both client and server, they work for free in there spare time and they *might* get paid when/if it goes to P2P. There is a bit more to wiritng a game and then its a instant hit and everybody comes along and pays you money...why lets see:

You need a server farm housed in a proper comms set up (Docklands in london say) to host the game and allow a LOT of people to play. As you will have to start in Alpha/Beta - then it will be free and thus still not get any money at this stage but somehow you have to find the money to fund this lot. *IF* and i say if the game is good and can go against :

MIR2
MIR3
World of Warcrat
LineAge2
etc....

Only then you mgith stand a chance to make money - your flogging a dead horse trust me

YKW actually rewrote the source for an exact copy of mir lol. and hes only a one man team.

i dont think ude need to compete against mir2, not 2 many have heard about it over here, compared for WoW or EQ2 etc.

Thank you Farril, although i never did completey finish it.

Using the existing mir2 source code to recreate mir is a lot easier than it sounds.

The problem is people are trying to fix the server code, I would go as far as saying it’s not fixable.

There are too many problems, badly designed code etc..

Far easier to rewrite the source, using the existing source code as a reference for something’s, but not to blindly copy everything from the existing source as a lot of things have to be done in completely different ways.

I got quite far with recreating it, but I started a new job, so have little time to still work on it.

Incase your wondering the last version had, most basic things from mir, spawnable mobs, mob AI, guilds, groups, special items, attack modes, pets, magic (only LionRoar and ShoulderDash missing), special effects (poison).

There was one nasty problem, I believe mir 3 euro is experiencing it as well (not as badly as I was tho), the sticky feet bug.

Because of that, I started to rewrite many bits, so at this moment in time, I do not have a working copy.

There was a nice couple of screenshots with me, Unity, and Witten in-game, floating around, incase you think im full of bull-****.
