SREmu by DarkInc
SREmu is the very first silkroad emulator ever created. We're currently working on a VB open-source test server and a very powerful C++ server which is coming soon! Come join the party!
DarkInc is, as you all well know, the first group to create working Silkroad emulator (albeit very limited in capabilities!). About 2 years ago we had to split up due to scheduling problems and a lack of motivation by the community.
Since then, Joymax has let SRO go, especially iSRO. Now with servers at approximately 70-80% bots online, only people who have premium can actually log in! As a result, and because we want to finish what we started (and promised to the community!), Darkmind, Clearscreen, and I have decided to start the projet back up again. With much experience and knowledge gained in the last 2 years, this will definitely be no problem now.
Clearscreen and Darkmind, along with a lot of people in our community are currently collaboratively working on a re-write of the old visual basic source (which is now being re-written in C# for ease of use!) to study how the server interacts with the client to better understand the netcode for efficient implementation into our final goal: the C++ server.
Where we're at with this server has come a long way since opening the project on january 1st, 2008. We completely dropped the old C++ emu source and started from scratch. Powered by highly scalable, asynchronous event-driven operation, and with the power of MySQL database, the C++ server will easily achieve levels of efficiency and performance which the iSRO servers by Joymax could only dream to have. We are expecting 10,000-20,000 player capacity PER SERVER. We have many great ideas for the emu, and one of the main attractions for our server is this: no botting! That's right, and with our project goals to unite the community rather than split them up as most mmos do, by opening 20-50 individual servers (and thus 20-50 individual communities), we will achieve a new level of fun from SRO, reaching for its true potential.
Come join the community. Registration for the closed-beta test which will begin within the next 3 months (if on schedule) is open, we already have 2000+ registered players. Only 1000 or so will be chosen so be sure to sign up!
