WorldForge: The open source answer to EverQuest

Born in 1998, WorldForge officially started with an announcement on Slashdot (see Resources for a link). Avinash Gupta headed what was then called the Altima Project and dreamed of creating an online game not just for Linux, but for the entire PC community. Bryce Harrington picked up the reins early on when Gupta departed due to lack of time for the project, and he has led the talented WorldForge developers and artists to release their first online multiplayer game, Acorn.

Interesting article

[quote] One could look at WorldForge as simply a "free" version of Ultima Online or EverQuest,
and while freedom is indeed important, it belies several fundamental aspects of WorldForge that are missing in commercial game systems. Most importantly source code.

Hmm very interesting or maybe it's all this cold medicine going to my head.
