Hello everyone,

I want to ask for guidance about an old MMORPG called Istanbul Kiyamet Vakti (IKV).
  • The game was originally developed in the mid-2000s and is based on the Actor Game Engine.
  • Unfortunately, the game has been abandoned for years. There are no active GMs (Game Moderators) anymore, and official development has completely stopped.
Because of this, I’m very interested in working on a server emulator for IKV. I’ve already started looking into the client–server communication and would like to analyze the protocol further.

I know projects like this are not easy and usually require teamwork, so I’m looking for any kind of help, advice, or roadmap that could guide me in the right direction.

Thanks in advance for any support.

If we don't have any leak of server-side code, we need to reverse‑engineer the client‑server network protocol and recreate the server.
