I'm sorry if you took anything I said as an attack on the project. I have said, in this thread even, that I think P99 has great potential. I was hoping what I was saying was coming out as constructive criticism but its hard to set tone across the internet.
and I think we both may be going to extremes in our descriptions about releasing all the code or not releasing any of it.. danyelle probably has the right of it with targeted help for other emu's for stuff that doesn't affect the proprietary nature of P99 (ie code that still works on live today).
I don't really consider the competition aspect between emu servers because people can play on multiple emus at a time and P99 really is top heavy (I'm not exaggerating there).
but you are right this should be about the new server and explaining what it is to others so I'll stay on that track in the future.
New velious server isn't huge pop atm.. the ooc channel is a global chat channel
they have a list of beta tasks they are testing out and trying to fix, there are bugs out there and things that need to be adjusted but they are working on them. The server is smooth and lag free.
From reading over on their forums, after they get velious out they intend to work on luclin and I'm not sure after that. but anybody who has a character on the test server will keep the character and they will launch a "live" server when its ready.. and keep the test server (no wipe) for testing new code snippets.
For all those items that were removed before velious like mana stones, rubicite, etc.. they will let it be available for a short time after server goes up.
