Christ, when do you guys find time to have jobs, partners, or eat?
That sounds like a lifestyle, not a hobby.
Props to you for pulling it together.

So could someone take all of the work you've done, and start their own server? Or do you guys keep that code to yourselves?

Closed source. We won't be releasing it.

You can take the open source eqemu and public peq/axdb databases, and do whatever you want with them.

[Crone]

Gotcha. I didn't think that it all had to be open source.

From the amount of fixes that have been done, it sounds like the open source DBs are not that great? or was it simply the amount of work that had to be done to get it to "classic" that was really the work, not necessarily bug fixing.

[MATPHAT]

Man, considering the load these guys have taken on, I'm keep that source tight to my chest.

Well, there were 70,000 invalid entries of a rusty dagger. 70,000. We made at least 700,000 changes to the DB. It was a combination of incorrect/not classic & correct/Classic. We also have a slightly larger dev team than most.

The DB's are fine as a base. You just have to realize a lot of things need changed. Some are older rev's, etc.

[Necran]

Good grief, just reading about all these changes that needed to be made is making my head spin. Developers, you guys are incredible.

If I were a therapist, I'd give you high marks for self evaluation. I think you're doing a fantastic job. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
