Hello Players of Akara Essex,
As many of you know Connectuo has been dead for quite some time, as a direct result our playerbase
has suffered greatly due to this. Akara Essex is one of the most (and definately the best) unique
servers ever. It really is a shame that this has led to our
server's near death. So effective IMMEDIATELY I am seeking to put together a development team for
our own connection software. I would like the same functionality as connectuo, however with it's own
name and website. I will be taking suggestions for a name and the person who comes up with the name
we use will earn some rewards prizes in game.
We havent decided on a language yet to write this in, we may use c#, however I would prefer to avoid
.net so that we may use the connector on other platforms, like Mac OSX or Linux via Wine. Using the
.net framework just makes this much harder.
Anyone who reads this and is willing to contribute to coding please respond in this thread,
obviously you must be experienced in some language like C++, Java, Python, Ruby, Ruby on Rails.
Now that I thikn of it, Ruby would probably be a great language to use and it also coupled with Rails
would allow easy integration of a server list database. I am still trying to decide if we should
have compatibility with connectuo's patch system but we will determine that at the appropriate time,
for now we just need developers willing to take on this project for the Love of Akara and for the
love of any freeshard. Applicants do not need to be members of Akara Essex or even ever play on
Akara, I am sure other freeshards out there are suffering as well and we welcome anyone who has the
ability to join our development team and Save the RunUO Custom Shard Community.
Thank you for your time.
