Nothing is impossible.
But its rather unlikely that you will sucess...

And introducing fullstops in you sentences would help the readability

[darkleen]

i am sorry but that so  would it be legal for me to do this ? O_o

[schlumpf]

No, of course not.

lol- and whats the point? o_O

Make a better mmorpg, and if it must be mmorpg, hero engine is better in my opinion or perhaps unity.

the newest UDK engine is far ahead of unity.. Far.. Ahead.

Unity is strongest in indie games..

i want to ask blizzard.

Blizzard says: No.

They will say it to everything, if you don't got a million behind you. Same like Nintendo, etc, etc.

I tried to start an MMO Engine project now for 10 years. Just an opne source thing that provide an engine with server client editors and management website. You should be able to creat the game only with content creation, Editor and scripting for UI. But you won´t find people to do it because they are

1.  incapable to do it and have motivation
2. Are capable to do it and have NO motivation or
3. The are capable think that it is a good idea but loose fun in it after some days/weeks and you are alone again.

I will start it alone some day if I think that I am able to do it but till then it will stay a dream for me.

I found unity easier to use mainly because its set up for mass multiplay.  As Udk is not, it was just inconvenient. By all means though, this can be fixed.. My person preference to game engine is definitely hero engine.

My project partner has been making his game engine by himself for 5 years.. lol

hero engine dont look bad and 99 bugs a year is cheaper then paying a server The question is if you creat a game and dont take money. Is that ok for them

What i talk about is an full opne source project. They can code OS systems so why not an MMO engine.
And we could use many finished stuff out there. Also a binded community to share models and ex whould be nice like modcraft.

I think a big problem in software development, especially online, is that people won't share their source. If everyone worked together,  huge things could be done. But simply nobody wants to -.-

We have been trying to back engineer swtor for a while, but its impossible to find contributors nowadays. So it is taking a much longer time than anyone hoped. Same with skyrim online.

I think, there a lots of people, wanting to share their work -

but not those, who actually are skilled and trained.



I think, an open-source MMO-Engine (with tools etc), would be f**cking great in many ways, but there are also some things why I think, this would not work without a good concept (how to show people easily how to make new things, etc). But this wouldn't fit to the topic here, but also very interesting (: (who wants to open a new topic? : D)

If someone wants to work on such a thing, it will take a lot of time and concentration on it, it will be a part of your life, maybe, one of the biggest parts (just, to be sure that the motivation is kept up ^^), so you have to think a lot about it.
I'm not sure, if I wanted to "give my life up" for an open source mmo engine, but, nevertheless...

...it would be fecking awesome (;

Enough said.

It's like the fact, that less rich people want to share their money, instead of semi-poor people.


That's why I hate most rich and most skilled people.
