Hello Everyone,
First of all I would like to introduce myself to regulars. I am a
computer science student and running few server-side projects mainly
based on VALVe half-life2 engine. As well as doing placement year, I
am beginning to be interested more and more in launching mmorpg
private server which seems to be an AION family.
After studying AION server software (mainly emulators) for few days I
afraid to run into conclusion that something bad is happening here?
Since I am skilled java programmer I found out choosing open source
java emulator a perfect choice. But Bam, they all are closed?
Now to the list of emulators I had a look:
Aion-unique is officially discontinued on 30th Jul which is making it
outdated briefly for 3 months. So this choice is going to be doomed
with new bugs coming out of client updates by official AION
aion-emu emulator:
All I could find is that elitepvpers.de are still using it for
servers, though the site seems to be redirecting(?) to aionrage.com
which announces closure of private game server. I afraid it also
means that they closed aion-emu project? Sad..
Thanks god the latest open source I could find is alive. Moreover it
seems to be absolutely fresh, so my question is it stable enough to
work with? I couldn't find any valuable information about this
project except that it's based of aion-unique closed project. Their
forum is also not very helpful, only announcements section where we
can't post, why is it a forum then? But to those who still did not
find where aion-lightning located it's the link to their 1-paged
wiki:
You must be registered to see links
Conclusion which I would like to try reaching with you:
there is only 1 open source project left and 10 days old?
is AION emulators era dying or is it just born?
Could someone give more information of what is happening in 'aion'
emulators life now?
P.S. I have registered at aion lightning forum and more topics were
disclosed for me. I will try to study this forum and grab more information.
