So.. Why in heck would anyone, in their right mind, bother with creating an (legally reverse engineered) OS CLIENT for WoW? Well...
One word: Mods.. And not just any mods. I have some serious ideas (that I've been trying to figure out how to actually DO for years), incorporating existing web 2.0/3 type paradigms and existing MMO ideas into this thing (Post-Singularity SF, Second Life, MOO, 3d wysiwyg world building w/o having to script, micro-transactions, in world economy w/ exchangeable currency, real world educational modules to program bots and design their electronics) . Also, not helping is the Blizzard EULA..
Eventually, I want to run a custom server, that is solely connected to with custom clients.
Sound Interesting? Like a pipe dream, maybe? Yeah well...
So, act now, don't delay. Those who contribute the most of kicking this off stand to benefit the most when people start to wanna pay for support and custom modifications.
If you wanna know more, please PM me with your skills, (if you have a resume cool, but it isn't requisite), email, preferably ICQ or AIM but any IM will work (but, please, use meebo or something and sign in https://). Soon I will have a wiki, and a digg-clone for idea submission. Check out the FORUMS (real ones coming soon), and join us for some Meebo Chat (until we can get the irc thing going, of course).
