Will pay $1000.00 for a Guild Wars Server/Core

[voltez01]

My friends and I were talking about raising money to help a
developer create a Guild Wars Server/Core.
Before you react who would do such a thing, here are our reasons

1. From where we live internet is so slow that when we do play
normal ping, notice I said normal is 20,000 to 30,000 ping so you
can't really play in those conditions.
2. There is no Guild wars server/Core.
3. My friends and I played Guild Wars for years and we stopped ever
since we moved here in south east asia for reason number 1.
4. We missed playing Guild Wars altogether and its been over a year we've
been searching to no avail.
5. It would be nice to have a Lan party of PVP on weekends.

Of course there is always one person who is skeptical.

Friend number 1 says, if developing a Guild Wars server is easy
they would have developed one already for Guild Wars has been out
for years. He thinks that the main reason why Guild wars hasn't been
developed because the devs just can't crack it.

Friend number 1 also says that NCSoft hires the developers of Guild
Wars server to prevent them on making one. Look what happened to l3j, theora
and the GWLP team...and he goes on.

I said, well how about we try to make one? Then they all laughed at
me knowing we have no knowledge about any java, c++ or .net framework.



Then I joked that well if I do study, might take me years but hey
our Grandsons will play the Guild Wars server and you all give me
the $1000.00 dollars we raised. hehe

The main reason to this post is to clear something up for me and my
friends.

1. Is NCSoft really hiring devs that try to develop a GW Server?
2. Is Guild Wars really that hard to crack that devs can't develop one?
3. Is GWLP or GWLP:Revival really been a dead project?
4. Is there a really stable and complete GW server ever released?

If you are a developer reading this post, please shed a little light
of hope for us and try to create one, we will support you the best
of our ability. What woudld it take for us to get you jump started?

Anyway, Thank you for reading this long post. hehe oh by the way.

1. Don't flame
2. Read the whole post and comments before you respond.
3. If you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything.
4. If you do support having our community having a GW server please
explain.
5. And if you do not support it, explain as well.

This should be in Buy, Sell Or Trade =P


Also theres a reason why no one has made a guild wars emu
No one wants to waste A LOT of there time to build a emu for a f2p game

and also building one yourself requires alot of coding knowledge


Found this link to gwlpr its probly extremely outdated though
https://gwlpr.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/gwlpr

[voltez01]

thank you for the link will check it out

[*Alexz*]

No problem just as i said it is outdated so probly wont work but it might you never know (if i dosnt work you could always use an earlyer version of gw) or you could update it (would require coding knowledge

[voltez01]

i was thinking of the first one you suggested but we don't have access to old gw files and for the second one you suggested, i also posted it in other forums as well, giving you credits for the great find

Pay Pro Coders to Reverse Engineer the game client and THEN create the emulator from that knowldege. I't could be done, but I think you'd need to pay the coders for there time.

[dzro]

it takes alot to reverse engineer a game ive tried and failed almost 100 times before i got the hang of it

[voltez01]

wow this is the first time i heard of reverse engineer method, care to explain more please...is this the method that was used in say wow or aion servers? will this work with guild wars as well?

[Stevenozzy]

Reverse Engineering is how they create most emulation software for games. It's a time consuming and rigorous process, but the final product can be worth wild.

is reverse engineering done in c++? java or c#?
