[Illidan Server] New Emulator, looking for skilled C++ programmers

[pAbLoPiCaSsO]

Welcome at the new emulation project "Illidan"!

Project forum: Illidan Server Community Site

This emulator coded in C++ uses IOCP sockets (very fast sockets intended only for servers which need to handle a huge amount of connections) and the Berkeley Database (the fastest existing database).
It is clustered in several parts (even the world server is divided) so that it can be set up on several servers to gain the maximum power out of them!

We are at the moment searching for very talented C++ developers with experience from previous emus, if you think you meet the requirements you can post an application at the Illidan forum.

NB: This is a serious project so please keep flames out.

The current development state:

This post should give you an idea at which development state the server is.

• !!!Attention!!! The server runs only on Windows Server 2000, Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server "Longhorn" as it uses the very fast IOCP sockets which don't exist on standard operating systems!

* Network Core is nearly ready (IOCP sockets + special fast functions from microsoft to gain speed)
* Doesn't handle the OP Codes yet, it will be implemented soon
* Berkeley Database is nearly ready, it will be in a separate module clustered to the other modules

Here you can see a little log of the console:
