Relics of Markeloth [Staff Recruitment]
I have a new server which I've been working on for about 3-4 months. It's a big project and in truth, I've been trying to do it all myself and it's taking it's toll on me, hence this post.
This is my third project, I was the previous owner of the following two EQEmu Servers: Sha's Revenge (Green preferred server around 2005-2006ish?) EQ Legacy (Classic EQ back in 2008-2009 ish) which I think once died inspired Nilbog's creation of Project1999 :P It's essentially a server that is taken a lot of the more modern MMORPG's aspects into EverQuest, a few of which I've never seen done/attempted by EQEmu servers. So I don't want to go into too much detail about it as I would like to keep it unique for now! Some points off the top of my head though:
I have a stable server host with 120MB download, 10MB upload, so hosting isn't an issue. Usually the projects I do solo but I fall short mainly because of lack of support/help, but this time I'm doing a different approach and hoping to create a team to help develop this fresh new server with me for a server that will be around for a long time. So I'm recruiting some staffers, you will be required to read up on the documentation I have made, reading the GM Lore documents so you understand the storyline until any development or touching the server as it's important you aren't just creating stuff randomly. Short term it's pretty voluntary work basically, however long term once we are officially launched there's some potential of being paid for your time if it's good enough and follows the standards. [Don't expect some sort of full time wage here, just a little bit of $ for your time :p] I'm looking for: Lead GM
Website Developer
Graphic Designer
Coder
Content Developers [Will probably change once we're done with content, which means you'd qualify for a GM role afterwards if you wanted, but we will be developing expansion content while game is out]
Game Masters
Guides
Now I honestly don't expect all these roles to be filled, at this point I'd be happy with a couple of people being involved in the project. And it may be there are lots of people out there that fill a couple of these roles at once. This project is in it's early stages and I hope to increase the speed dramatically with some extra help. If you are interested at all in helping, I've set up a mini application form HERE. |
If your looking for a lead GM, well im looking for a server to work on.
After recent happening on my own project, ive been looking for another server to work on and help expand. I do like the idea behind your server it sounds great. Kinda similar to what ive been wanting to do on my own. One question though what kind of skill are you yourself bringing to the project? You are free to throw me a message if you care to chat more. |
This seems like an interesting idea, however it doesn't seem that the coder position is scripting, is that so? Also, I would love to see the current content, is there anyway to access the server as of yet?
|
I'm a bit of an all rounder, decent with PHP/SQL, but my strength is content development so I would mainly be focused on that department ideally but will have to see how it goes with what interest we have in each area.
I'm lacking in C++ though, so I would love someone that's familiar with the current code to help out. Definitely interested in a chat, I'll drop you a PM! |

Yeah by coder I meant mainly C++, like I said the roles aren't really set in stone, it might happen where someone is great with perl/c++ but might suck at spawning zones, so we'll utilize him to make complicated perl scripts and code in C++. And there's currently not really enough content to play through to make it worthwhile at the moment, I'm hoping for beta in a couple months though. Maybe quicker depending on how many we have in the team. |
When you fill out the application remember to put in your EQEmulator forum name, or at least e-mail in so I know who you are and can contact you back!
There was one that just came in that didn't do it. I've marked it as required now and deleted the application so you can try again, it was the one that started like this: Quote:

Got a really positive response so far, way better than expected!
I've created an IRC channel if anyone has questions regarding the development, I'll try and be idling there 99% of the time, can't guarantee I will actually be there as I do have a 9-5 job aswell! But hopefully someone in the staff will be about. It's #rom @ eqemulator.net port 6667 I'll probably keep applications open for about a week before closing them and making final decisions, then press forward with the project. |
Going to stop all applications on Friday evening, so if your interested in helping towards the project, make sure you fill out the application by then, if you want a bit more information about the project, feel free to drop by in IRC and send me a PM!
Thanks. |
