| ![]() That's why we would need to put aside our differences and work together. If everyone truly wants to rebuild EO, we could all work together to rebuild it. But without support and help from everyone, it can't be done. That's why I'm calling for everyone on EOSERV. --- May he now rest under aegis of mirage - As the sands slowly turn to Elysian fields

You'd need a dedicated leader who can manage it all.

| ![]() Rakuhana will pitch in however we can too.

| ![]() Well i think if we are looking for a leader, Syran seems like a right fit for the job. I may not know syran well but he does seem to know what needs to happen for us to continue this project. If no one steps up to the job i will but there may be some people more qualified to lead this Humongous job. Here are the Some things i think We Need to do to be able to at least start this project. ________________________________ 1) Put together a group 2) Make forum or website For our team and community to discuss our work 3) Decide exactly what we want to accomplish 4) Make Goals 5) Do our best to complete those goals --- "If you want to be a hero, you need to have Dreams, and Honor" -Angeal

Does it not seem like a logical step to have a dedicated area for contributors to submit their work to the "pool", ask questions and find out what needs to be actively worked on next? Without a central location for contributors to come together, we will have alot of this work going out into the ether, or worse yet, potential contributors all working on the same thing since there's no unified index of "who's doing what". I somehow doubt this project will get off the ground until we have everyone thinking on the same page, not just building but actively designing every little detail to the same specifications. It may eventually get to the stage where we do need to consolidate the game development into a team of
15-20 people, divided into composers, artists, world designers, programmers, marketers and economists. The best software is developed in small teams and this is no exception.
As much as I want to believe that I have faith in the efforts of you guys to kick off the development of this game, I don't see an organised team with the kind of skill set required to produce a game of this caliber. We're no Blizzard or Electronic Arts, as a matter of fact at this stage we'd
be lucky to produce a working remake of Zork, so even if we did produce a game at this stage it would be nowhere near good enough to actually compete and survive in the marketplace. We need to plan this through a little better, make some drafts and sketches so everyone has an idea of what we're
aiming for and perhaps pitch the idea to get some serious contenders on board.
So, how about starting with some draft sketches or some ideas for us to bounce around and we'll go from there. At least then we'll know what we're supposed to be making.

| ![]() I'm in. And I agree with sblord about the "pool" to put everything in. --- Love you too.
|
| ![]() I know i'm an "egotistical arse" but what do you think bringing hundreds of different server administrators, programmers, artists, web developers and more from eoserv is going to do? Its like saying hey lets try to merge every server on the SLN, even the ones that are dead(Bad Idea). Last of all who the hell is paying for this shit? --- https://www.fallen-evolution.com https://www.fallen-evolution.com/discord https://eosource.net

| ![]() I beg to differ. But one of the most obvious problems has always been the fact that there have always been a large amount of players divided into separate smaller servers. --- Web developer, currently looking for graphic artists / designers.

Not everyone is gonna want to join this "EO 2" when FE and BU and other servers have already long been in development they don't want to wait for everyones slow asses to participate in this crap. They will stick to there servers. Good luck starting this "SAVE EO / EO 2" when you are missing main key elements that SBLORD relies on. Do i need to refer to his thread? "Long Term Viability of Endless Online Private Servers" -Edit Maybe when FE is gone BU is gone and every other server is gone your plan might work to bad no one will want to participate because eoserv will be completly dead. Just like our servers considering thats the only reason people come to freaking eoserv morons to make private servers and there"projects". Not to merge EO into a pile of crap. --- https://www.fallen-evolution.com https://www.fallen-evolution.com/discord https://eosource.net

| ![]() Well, we don't necessarily need everyone to leave their own servers, we would just need everyone to help us in building a replica of EOMain. Everyone wants a new EOMain, so together we could build it. The private servers are totally different. This way the players can continue going on with a
normal EO replica, and the people who prefer different private servers can continue playing them, and we can all gain experience from this. Just think of it as a learning experience that will benefit everyone. I know we have all had issues with each other on here before, but if we really want to
save EO, then we can put our differences aside for at least as long as it takes to build this. --- May he now rest under aegis of mirage - As the sands slowly turn to Elysian fields

| ![]() Syran posted: (17th Nov 2010 04:10 pm) Lmao as long as private servers exist all you will be hosting is another private server not an "EO 2" plus who the hell will be hosting it? Sorry i just don't think you GET it people want EO back. They want vult-r to finish EO not us. They want there accounts that they spent ages leveling up on back. They want the real EO back online not some fake crap you are all trying to remake because thats labelled as a private server understand"PRIVATE SERVER".. cough cough EOSERV? SEOSE? EOSEP? MEOW? KALANDRA? PRIVATE SERVER? dur dur. Its not guranteed that this is going to attract everyone who can't get on EO. Its not gonna have all there old accounts back items, levels, and the same friends they talk to on EO is it? So stop acting like "OMG THIS IS GONNA BE GURANTEED SUCCESS EVERYONE ON EO WILL JOIN" its not. Its another private server where they either join or they don't and it will be a small server just like everyone elses on the SLN according to sblord so face the facts. --- https://www.fallen-evolution.com https://www.fallen-evolution.com/discord https://eosource.net

I wish them the best in their endeavours to actually make something and giving them a little advice from a perspective of someone that has never actively played EO, who bases advice and opinion off of skills learned in the business world doesn't really seem that ridiculous. After all, these games aren't spiritual, they're not designed by people who want to recreate the old days, they're products. Products made by any other company or organisation that wants their product to be successful in the marketplace. How else did anyone think Runescape made it so big? I'm
sure they're not just guys like us, and i'm positive they're raking in profits one way or another... it's just a different approach. Whether or not i'm a die hard MMORPG gamer like yourself or not is a moot point.
