Winters Roar down indefinitely

Custom weapons, npcs, zones, you name it. We eventually will change to a custom DB cause the current one is getting to be pointless. WindCatcher can vouch for the validity of the PM, infact I have an unread PM in my box, most likely from WC. Seeing this topic, I could not wait to post a reply.

Elements of Norrath was first planned to be a server with a lot of custom content, by EQEmu standards atleast. But, ever since the addition of our modeler, Percy, a great many doors have been opened to the idea of just making a new game in itself. Here is an example of how good Percy is. Kerosh showed him the zones made by Khan for WoA, and I guess percy responded by saying they wre "disgusting" or something to the effect. I guess if you would like to compare his zones to artwork, you could say his "paintings" make the Mona Lisa look like a child's scribling. But, enough with that. The weird part of this post is the fact that we were just wishing some of the top end dev's would help out to make this new game get developed faster. The fact that WC posted the idea of that happening seems very weird, and seems like possibly the emu community as a whole would like to see it happen.

Point is, if you would like to help, feel free. We deffinately need a large staff to get the project moving at a decent pace. Contact Luft, Kerosh, or myself. We will be glad to look into your application.

Honestly, that post made no sense to me... Not to sound like a jerk or anything but how does the probable death of Winter's Roar have anything to do with the development of your server?

Because, when the oppurtunity to make an extremely custom server came up, we ended up planning on making a whole "game" instead of just a server. But, overwhelmed by how much we noticed we were planning on doing, we knew it would be a longtime coming. With the closing of Winter's Roar, WindCatcher made a post suggesting making a game beyond an EQEmu server. That makes everyone else realize that would be a good idea, and makes people want to help out. With that, it may be easier to find skilled people willing to help, making our "server" get developed a lot faster. If all goes as planned, than the game will be up much faster than projected.

P.S.: It's funny how it takes the closing of one of the best, if not the best, servers on EQEmu, and the posting of a senior member, to make people want to join together and make something more than just another server. I guess having almost 800 posts gives you some say. Either way, once again if you have the skills necesarry and want to do something with it, then feel free to PM and we will talk.
