[MapleStory] [C#] MapleGlobal v0.01

[Snopboy]

Historical Games Archive (or HGA in short) is a non-profit, non-governmental organization (NGO certification
is dependent on the legal proceedings we're engaged in presently, involving IP laws reform). Our mission is to
preserve mainly cultural and creative content originating in the late 90's & early 00's (1990-2010). Enormous
amounts of information and art from these eras, important to the cultural history of these generations are no
longer accessible. This includes mainly online services and properties, such as MMO Games, cultural &
informational websites and basically any online service that existed back then.

TL;DR
We are here to preserve creative content that's significant to the history of our culture.


_{As a part of our efforts to restore old games, specifically MMO games, with accuracy to the detail, it requires
us to expand our team and recruit new, skilled members.}

A server full in development. We're here to search for people who would help bring back our awesome
childhood and help players who didn't have the chance to play the early versions of MapleStory. Below
there is more information about the positions that you could apply for and information about beta testing
our source code will be revealed once we launch our Tespia (CBT) program.

The server will be a really low version of MapleStory starting on v0.01 and will be updated from time to
time to a newer version until a certain point. At that point it will get interesting and we will be doing
things that were never been done before by any private server.
