The WorldForge Project Celebrates Three Years!

Posted by Hemos on from the making-it-happen dept.

cyanide writes "Well it has been three years since The WorldForge Project was first announced on Slashdot as an effort to develop open source Massively Multiplayer Online Roleplaying Games (MMORG ? ). Back then we were calling ourselves 'Altima', but since then we've released our first game, Acorn, and are now working on our next release, Mason. The project really is thriving now, and I'd love to see some new blood join us. "

    WF makes Mozilla look like linux - development is just plain glacial.


    My experience with WF, then Altima, bears this out I'm afraid. I was working fairly steadily on a cross genre, Free (as in Open Content Licence) RPG system which could be used for the server. I was told by numerous people to -stop- working on it so quickly as there wasn't any server to code the RPG system into yet. Uhhh....


    After getting repeatedly abused on the development IRC server, asking the Ops to do something about it and getting told to screw off, I packed up my system and left. This is why they ask for new blood - to replace the disillusioned folks who leave after being abused by 13yo skript kiddiez who think because they've a high frag count they know what a MMORPG should be.


    Latest version of the system is:
