Java EQEmu

i think you should go ahead with your project and ignore their imature flames, ive used several different languages honestly i dont see that there would be much speed difference, to those who decided to be rude to this poor guy... mysql REGUARDLESS of the language accessing it it will only go as fast as mysql goes genius' perhaps you should think before making yourselves look the fool publicly? if coded properly any language COULD be multi platform however as previously stated compiling on windows is quite a pain in the ass to be honest. I have seen PUBLIC Games ( GEMSTONE FOR ONE) That are indeed written in java and do the same crap as eq and twice as fast so dude ignore them or prove them wrong... i doubt they even know how to code java anyway...

Agreed. It's probably not necessary to be a dick to the guy for an idea. Takes guts to ask, anyway. But I do agree, Java is not exactly lightning-bolt speed compared to other languages. It really comes down to what you know, how much interest you have in your project, and whether you can stand on your own to get it done - cuz it's apparent you won't get too much input here. Not insulting our devs at all, but they have their hands full with the current code as designed.

Good luck, should you proceed.
