Policy Change: Open Source Code

[Ferinex]

Will a server set/source be released eventually? Just curious because a private server would be something rather cool to have.

There is no reason to ever release the server code.
Why? Because if they ever plan to charge for H&H then they just threw that out the window.
And the fact that it is their game and they most likely don't want people out there running their own server because they get pissed at how Jorb and Loftar run the game.

The devs told you this?

Why isn't that in rainbow? It'd be much more effective.

The moment client sources are released, you will have at least a handful of FINE AND DAPPER GENTLEMEN writing a complementary server, so...

Comedy: the sources are already released because lol java

sounds like i would have to put effort into that, and you just aren't worth the time.

Well, as kimya so rightly pointed out, the server is the game. There's virtually no game mechanics whatsoever implemented in the client, so writing a new server would essentially be the same thing as writing a new game. You'd just get the rendering engine for free, essentially. Of course, this is already pointed out on the documentation page.

*copying Ferinex because he is so much better than me in every way.* Also this isn't my thread. Also I suck cocks and love it.

I'll take that as a no
