Title: Gamemaster's thoughts on Modcraft (image)
Post by: Xel on June 30, 2010, 07:40:53 am
Gamemaster Gourgetion had a conversation with me some months ago about modding. I already posted the full conversation on MMOwned but I decided to show you this image in case you haven't already seen it.

Actually the image is at the moment my signature.

If, for some reason, you're unable to view the image here's the conversation:

To GM [Gourgetion]: have you heard of Modcraft?
GM [Gourgetion]: I will come and say hello one day.
GM [Gourgetion]: I have
To GM [Gourgetion]: what do you think of it
GM [Gourgetion]: It was ok, not a site I go to alot but looked like it had potential.

Other things he told me were that he got his World of Warcraft knowledge from modding and that he still does it. The funny thing is that he wanted to contact me outside his work so we could talk more.

I heard of a gamemaster who was convinced to become GM by his passion for wow modding.
There are indeed alot game-industry related careers that start in the communities.

Sometimes even whole games start off as mods and have their builders earn a lot of money -> Counterstrike

We talked around 2 hours about World of Warcraft modding and after he told me he was a member on MMOwned. He also knew Noggit and was completely able to speak about files inside MPQs.

 So there is no reason why wouldn't he be talking about this Modcraft.

Hmm i think we should try to write an antonym message to Blizzard form a new googlemail account and just ask theme what they think about modding. (that no uses wow story stuff)

Perhaps we get surprised like the way Blizzard supports the machinima scene.

Actually I already did that, he said it modding is OK as far as we don't edit already existing files. So adding new things seems to be 'allowed'

Yes but this said a gm.
Thats nothing :)
You need a statement form the Blizzard company direct and not one form a guy that works there :)
I will write a text and try to get a reaction from Blizzard.

And nice to read from you Kagul.
Have you a new ICQ address. Pleas send me per pm if you like.

I'm still interested in hearing 2 things.
1) Did the GM contact you later on? XD
2) How's it going with Blizzards opinion on your letter about model editing to them? :D

(Oh yeah Xel, is it possible that you could perhaps add a link to the picture instead/also? xD)

Thanks
Keta

The opposite is true. As long you use Blizzards story and database rips on your server, they can get you. If you build a new world without use of any file made by blizzard in your path. Then they cant do something. Then only the payer contraveneds against blizzards tos. But both modder and player not against the law.

Minecraft Falls under that category.
