mattmeck i thank you for your quotes. I did know about the other 2 quotes (about inline compiling and the inheritance) and for what I cant do with multi-inheritance i can do in interfaces (may not be as good as multi-inheritance but gets the job done). As i stated before I do know that C++ is faster then Java but i dont think that it craps the out the idea. If this subject were to come out a few years ago there would be no arguement because Java was slow. Over the past serveral years Java has gotten better and faster. Plus im not doing this for speed or to make it better then EQEmu (because its already an amazing product) I was just thinking it would be a nice project to attempt. But maybe my effort should be geared toward the current EQEmu but who knows.

Thanks for you input . Like you said in your quote its not about if it faster or better, its the challenge of it all.

Like i said to the last quote its all about the challenge and plus it would be fun. Im not coding this to replace EQEmu i just thought it would be cool to attempt.

With all the reponses I have gotten maybe it would be more benifical to work on the current EQEmu then making a Java port. I dont know what im gonna do but i'll let you guys know. I dont know C++ nearly as much as I know Java but I have to start some where I guess. If you start to see C++ code poping up on the fourm you will know what I desided
