I know it's probably hard to find Developers for this kind of project but why not just start up a small project and see who takes interest into it? maybe it will get big maybe it will finally free everyone from "Gravitys Shitty Ass Clients"... Yes I realize this should probably be under suggestions... Edited February 3, 2012 by Obliterate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doing the first does not necessarily mean, one is capable of or willing to do the latter. And we have a lot of stuff to do with rAthena, so everyone is pretty busy, I guess. However, I definitely would not oppose if anybody wanted to cooperate somehow with rAthena team to create a working server+client duo. But that's only my opinion. BTW Take a look at Shinryo's client topic in Project forums. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW Take a look at Shinryo's client topic in Project forums. I completely understand that developing a Emulator and Client are 100% different what I'm trying to say is why not get the word out that rAthena will start a client project in the long run it will probably get done faster and not just die off like 100% of all of the other projects that people start being open source anybody that happens to want to help can at anytime. Obviously it won't be a HUGE success in day but maybe over time enough people would take interest into it. Yes I saw Shinryos project but the first thing I think of is how far is it actually going to go? I honestly think the only way it would work out in the end is if he actually decides to make it open source like he says it will be in the future. the truth is that any one person cannot handle that much by himself and will eventually give up.

The problem is just that it required some active members to work on - and as you can see on other open source client (Open Ragnarok - Pantheon Online, ...) devs are lazy to keep it up to date, and new devs preferred writing their own closed-source client from scratch instead of helping another open source client. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the bugreports. I don't think they will handle another tons of bugreports for the client. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just really unnecessary to have another project while the current one still needs attention since you guys are moving to renewal now. If Shinryo will make his project open source, then it's a different story. Edited February 7, 2012 by Macubex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
