GuildWars Lan Project: Revived

[rustyGWLPR]

Hey guys,
i just registered to announce that the GuildWars private server (known as GWLP) has been revived (in 2010).
I've been developing a new server from scratch for over two years now, got support from other devs, and released several pre-alpha server versions.

Due to recent updates, we are working mainly on the server design atm.

You can find the temporary projectpage here: GWLP:R project web-page on GitHub

And our forums here: GWLP:R

Update (mar '12):
We are reimplementing this using Java and an MVC styled server backend that is roughly based on javax.servlets.
As usual, check out the forums for any further information

The server is still in development, but you can login and join a game server.
You can also see other players, chat, use (some) commands, change maps, and do many smaller things that you can find in the info thread of our board.
Now you may say that this is actually no real functionality, but the most time of the development was invested on the server backend.
Meaning we have just recently started working on major parts of the game mechanics like items, skills, npcs, and pathing (the latter two are basically implemented)

Hey guys, here's an update on the project:

We are reworking the code from scratch, switched to Java for simplicity and portability reasons,
and spit the project into two parts: The game-container (the server) and the game-application (GW gameplay specific stuff)
The design is comparable to Java's Servlet design where GWLPR being the web-app equivalent and the new project, Reality:Shard, being the servlet-container.
We are still looking for developers and/or consultants, check our forum (see first post) if you wanna help.
