Hey all,
For most of the people it's no longer fun to see so many R63b retro's that are all the same. I remember back in 2006 when the first retro hotel on version 1 was launched. Through the years from 2006 to now there has never been a completed oldskool emulator.
The last two years I only see the same servers being re-released, some changes to the code and tada, credits to the one who made a little change. The flash retro's aren't fun anymore, I would rather see oldskool hotels rising with the different homepages again like in 2007.
In 2008 and 2009 two servers named Thor and Blunk Emulator were in development. Blunk was is the only working version 5 server world-wide. It had everything working 100%, even the famous camera, currently TehJohn and Maarten have V5 still. Then Woodpecker came around unfinished like Thor. There are some very rare people who finished Woodpecker, but didn't release it too so it could be useful for other people.
(The hotel is not online, since there are no completed emulators for V9)
When I see that there are so many R63b servers working 98%.. why not make an oldskool emulator and release it to the public, instead of keeping it private after years like Blunk Emulator. I think we need to focus more on V9, V13 and V14 server development since we have all the server and client packets. Lab-Hotel is currently working on his Hybrid Core Project (supports V7 to V35 according to his thread), but we need more oldskool emulators to get some differences in the retro section.
I believe that there are still people out there who can code a completed and stable V9, V13 or V14 server. I rather want to see V9 as it was really classic with the nice Area furniture. I'd believe that Sulake doesn't care about very old hotels. So far it is known that Sulake knew that Blunk existed but no action was taken against the V5 hotel of Nillus.
