Introduction
We are a team of 5 individuals: 3 C++ Developers, 1 SQL Developer and 1 English Community/Social Media Manager. We have been working on World of Warcraft emulation since 2010 and possess the talents to support all aspects of the game, including opcode naming, packet structure analysis and implementation, datastore processing and handling, front end scripting and backend development. Among our members are high profile and well known persons.
We are looking to expand our team, not because we require new talent, but because of a need to expedite our work schedule. We have openings in C++, SQL and Community Management.
Project Management and Work Distribution
We believe that developers operate at their best when they are doing work they love and enjoy. Therefore we will create an itinerary of work prioritized according to community demands, and it is up to the developer to choose what they wish to work on. We have operated this way for years and find it to be the optimal method to maintain project interest and productivity. The work you do is yours and you may do with it as you please, including – if you wish – sharing with the public repositories (so long as your code is not dependent on the work of another developer).
Payment and Salaries
Our top developers and contributors do indeed get paid. The path to payment involves building trust, a demonstration of loyalty to the project and an unwavering commitment to ensuring community satisfaction with quality releases untarnished by hackfixes.
Roadmap
We are currently wrapping up our Warlords of Draenor development phase and intend to begin working on Legion within a month or so. Your initial contributions will be towards Warlords of Draenor, with a shift to Legion when the project moves in that direction. You may, of course, choose to continue work on WoD or any of the previous expansion content if you so desire. Remember, our intention here is to speed up progress to ensure community satisfaction and a quality experience.
