Introduction
Welcome to Skarn. Skarn is a project where we are building a brand new world, based on the World of Warcraft game engine. We’re building the world by hand, and it’s accompanied with new races, classes, zones, dungeons, quests and more. Our world has a unique storyline developed from scratch by our team, it’s not related to Warcraft universe at all. Skarn is an open project, where everyone can join and contribute to different parts of it such as worldbuilding, server development, quest designing or lorewriting.Right now we are under a severe development and are looking for new contributors. If you’re not skilled enough or don’t suit our requirements, but you would like to participate in the development process, please contact us. We will see what we can do. However, you should have enough amount of time and a will to learn the modding basics. Don’t hesitate to ask if you’re interested in joining Skarn. You should also remember that Skarn is a legitimate and serious project, in which only passionate and dedicated people will be accepted during the recruitement process - unlike most expansion ideas. Skarn, will continue progress and is extremely strong in its design and its members. Therefore we can guarentee this project will not fail, will not "drop/collapse" or have any major issues. The project will take a long time to complete, but we have do have a solid structure and therefore the more people we have the faster it will take off.
We understand that it's really hard to make a fully custom world. That is why, we have plans of transfering our project with all the existing content into "a fan-made expansion for WoW" if something goes wrong with our current idea. However, I hope it will never happen
You can see that our thread doesn't have any screenshots or videos at the moment. We already have some content but we don't like the idea of posting WIPs. So, you have to wait a bit to see some pictures or videos. It won't take very long, so check this thread from time to time. Some lore and concept information will also come later.

http://modcraft.io/viewtopic.php?f=37&t=7477I would also mention that we want to bring back large high quality modding and expand the modding process and that we are happy to help train a certain amount of people if we think they will be good enough in the future.
We also want to say "thanks" to all the developers on modcraft who are developing or developed any wow modding tools or posted some tutorials. Without you this project wouldn't be strarted. We're really glad to be a part of this board.
We're going to use modcraft forums as a base for all our activity. So, we're asking for providing us with a featured forum like it's done with Maruum project. Thanks.
Best regards, Skarn project team.
