The other question I needed to answer for myself is whether it was worth the time and effort to get one of these MMOs up and running? My impression going into this was that all of these servers would require some tech-fu to get them up and running. First, do any of these servers have enough players to relive the old days, or are they ghost worlds filled with nothing but an empty void? I figured logging into a world that I once inhabited at or near its peak only to find it a desolate wasteland would be pretty depressing. Instead of the usual topics, I decided to focus on two questions. If you’re interested in joining a private server, it doesn’t really matter what I think about the game you’re gonna do it. Unlike a regular MMO Reroll, I won’t be diving into the nuts and bolts of the current gameplay experience. That doesn’t sound like a lot, but let’s not forget that we’re talking about games that have been dead for a decade or more. While their numbers may not be enough to generate the revenue that a big company would have needed to keep one of these MMOs alive, some of these projects have hundreds of regulars logging in day after day. Where I expected only to find small groups of friends running around, I also found several larger communities that have gravitated to one server or another. When it comes to private servers, the passion of the players parallels that of the dev teams.
GODSWAR PRIVATE SERVER 2021 FULL
It seems as though everything is on the table, from class overhauls all the way to new zones full of original quests and content. They may have started by squashing bugs the original developers never fixed, but now they are redesigning core gameplay elements. These groups have taken their passion projects to the point where they have basically taken over the development of a dead game. Then there are the teams going even further.

This is way past the hack and patch work I had expected.
GODSWAR PRIVATE SERVER 2021 CODE
Some have started from scratch, spending god knows how many hours to reverse engineer server-side code and recreate art assets to give players an experience as close to the original as possible. These people are pouring their hearts and souls into these projects. Although some small servers are out there, I must admit that some popular servers have much larger communities.Īs far as the coding skills thing goes, some of these projects go well beyond doing the bare minimum to get a server online. You know, a few friends with some coding skills getting together and doing their best to get an old MMO up and running so they could relive the glory days of their favorite MMOs of days past.

I’ve always thought private servers were a niche thing. So instead of wasting the extra chunks of time I had available, I decided to explore another area of older MMOs - private servers.

Network Handling (Encryption/Decryption, Packet Handling, etc., etc.).With all that was going on, I knew I wouldn’t be able to hunker down and make it through the opening levels of any MMO, but I didn’t want to skip the whole month either.This version were at real early stages this are the features: If you are a Developer and if you would like to contribute to the project, please fork a copy and perform the changes, then apply for a PR and wait for validation and merge approval. Here you will find the source for GodsWar Emu / Private Server, please note, this is a Work in Progress (WIP) so keep close attention to changes and further notes on development.

GodsWar Private Server (War of Gods) What is this?

Thanks to everyone who was interested and helped, especially to main developer of the current GW private Server code base. As of June 30th 2022 GodsWar was officially shutdown, this means that this project is now discontinued.
