Kunark Event - Behind the Scenes

[Jacko]

I hope the devs and support staff get some enjoyment out of what they do , because the commeners get so much fun from what you guys provide. Great work was a fun time last night I did not get anything speicial and still had a blast just from the excitement that the next mob might drop a mistwalker . Really how could it get better!!!

Many thanks to p1999 staff you guys have gave pleasure to many people, probably caused divorces already and created a cult following !!!

Awsome job

It's been a few years since I've pored over some C++. STL list iterators and the memory management alone make me want to run back to the carebear world of .NET, holding my global GC tightly while rocking to and fro sucking my thumb.

True the memory management is a pain in the ass, but when dealing with applications that demand performance for huge applications like MMORPG zones, the lack of overhead from a programming language that does automatic memory management or garbage collection is extremely beneficial.

That's exactly what I was detailing to my wife when I told her about my joke. She asked why you guys didn't use something .NET, or other runtime, based language. I laid out the skinny.

I know what I'm talkin' about by now =) (I better be or else I've spent the last 12 years unwisely).

Come to think of it- last place I ever used C++ was an aircraft CAD software company. Lot of number crunching for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) optimization (particle swarm algorithms) and of course, rendering aircraft. Man I miss playing with OpenGL. I've been doing office-cow software since then. So C# foots the bill there.

Desperately wanted a mask, but thanks for all the work.
