I am playing TESO at the moment and it is surprisingly decent. I like occupying my brain and time with something and that game has an insane amount of content and it is mostly enjoyable. But the combat is so fucking shit... Almost the whole time I am playing it, I am dreaming of Vanguard. I would much rather be playing Vanguard... I can't believe there weren't enough people to keep one server alive... I levelled up one of every class to 50 and never got bored of it. And now all those characters are lost, I would happily do it again on an emu. I wish I could do something to speed it up.
I started learning C# but it is hard and I did it for a whole 2 weeks and still can't make my own MMO yet. I am disappoint.
I can however make a calculator which I hope to remake with CryEngine and make a million dollars.

Are you guys gonna make this so that there is a package people can have to run their own servers? And is there any chance we would be able to play the game offline?

That is awesome 
You guys should have a web page that shows % completion of the project so we can check in to see where you are up to with quests and combat etc. Also can you get more people to help speed it up? Can non programmers contribute anything? I am dying to play this game again.

We have this but it is a little behind our progress i'll try and update it this week.
VGOEmulator.net
I'll also see about adding a list somewhere with the chunks and current scripted quest count.

Great work. That bit about private servers and playing offline made my day. It is the only way to preserve the game forever, it can't be shut down again if we can play offline! And hopefully with private servers there could be some with interesting rulesets. Wish I could do something to help this project.

Revision: 2381
Author: Faux
Added handling for snare effects. Lua functions to use are the ApplySnare and ApplySnareTargets functions. See the spell script for the necromancer Torment Line.
Not fully functional yet though. The code is doing what its supposed to do and I can see the attribute module sending the updated speed with the right multiplier,
but the npc is not behaving correctly. On first cast, the npc appears rooted in place until the snare wears off and then it moves, but cannot be slowed down by
subsequent snares. Logging of AttrNPC shows the correct values being sent. We'll need to check consistency of how we are sending speed updates between attribute
code and other sources.

I hate it when my packet gets bunched. I read your link that shows progress, you guys have done a lot! Still seems a lot of work to do though but at first glance at least, it looked like you guys are maybe 60-70% complete. But I don't know if the missing stuff is harder, maybe it is. Or maybe it is easier and you are more like 90%! Either way, I will continue to think of Eric Cartman ways to freeze myself so I can defrost when this game is ready.

This is starting to look quite far along now according to the progress page. I hope you guys have priorities decided for stuff, because it seems like you could make the game playable pretty soon with a bit more work on the back end stuff and finishing the combat and spells. And then afterwards you could finish adding items, groups, diplomacy, crafting, caravans, raid content, etc.. etc..

There is a monster amount of work to be done. Unfortunately these guys have barely anything to work with and much of the design is going to have to be made from scratch. They are lacking data in a lot of areas. They really need an angel sys admin to leak the DB from Daybreak, but I am sure its physically inaccessible, not even on the network, and only exists in an off-line local network somewhere that only the top management have access to, if that-- it might even be on tapes in a closet.
Not to discredit the work Xinux and friends have done, they are working absolute miracles. They truly had nothing.
To spend 40 million in initial costs and probably another 10 over at SOE in repackaging it, I mean wow, way to just blow the intellectual property and art assets. Its a shame SOE botched the re-launch so badly, this game had so much going for it. I remember the big collapse happened about 1 year to 1.5 years in, after that summer the game was basically finished. I remember getting a call to check it out about 2 years later after launch, it was great, but it was unfortunately rolling out content for a dead world.
This game is the ultimate paradox of MMO's. Nothing about its journey made any sense.
Yeah :/
SoE: Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
I really want to play this again but I don't want to play an unfinished version of it. I will start playing when I can pick a class and level up with working spells and quests etc. But it seems like even that is going to take a lot more work.
