Hello together, I want to say my opinion about all the stuff, that is beeing discussed here:
First of all, you shouldn't take the Constributer thing to personal, they are all humans who, especially in games, wanna be fame :D No srsly, sometimes you want to see, that peoples aren't that nice, because you search for reasons to hate them. Don't take comments or things to negative..
To the development things....
My goal as programmer and DBO fan was, to have some stuff back, until the DBOR project is finished.
So i made the Channel DBODEV and created the fight system and stuff.
My first release was a little buggy, because I was in hurry. Currently i have most issues fixed and also implemented the drop system, but my channel login is blocked :D
I think DBOR shouldn't be open source, because it is really better to have just one community. I saw an italian website, and it was discussed there, if they gonna open a PServer with the server files, that were released by me or AKcore.
On the one hand site it's nice to see how motivated all the dbo communities are to open a dbo private server; but on the other hand site, it will run into that scenario many of you and also included me are fearing: TO MANY PRIVATE SERVERS
I saw alot of comments that are saying: WHO cares about the number of private servers? it's more important to have DBOR back.
I think -> NO, no you shouldn't be careless about all that. You could think that DBOR will have many players, because their forum is quite big and nice, but you should never underestimate other communities. Whenever someone will be faster than DBOR, many of the players start playing on private servers with those files -> they might think, that they don't want to begin again with DBOR -> less players at DBOR -> less fun :/
I was coding alone, not because i don't like teamwork, but because it just wasn't in my concept to create a own complete servers.
I know it is stupid to hate others work, and it is indeed nice to see so many people working on dbo private servers, but they should know that they also could destroy the dbo community with it. I really hope the release of the old client source won't have huge consequences...
Conclusion:
Trust the DBOR team; trust Dumke and trust all the people arround DBOR team.
If the game starts in 2015, it will... but with greater success, than if the team has to much pressure of time, because the community is to egoism and only sees the release of DBOR(it isn't like that yet(atleast not that strong)).
Open Source might be nice on the one site, but it's dagerous for a game and/or the community(and honestly dbo hasn't infinity active players(many beginners, like me :P), else it wouldn't had come like it is...)
For the start, me as a developer; I trust those guys and support their effort.
Keep your great work up! And if you take new developers make sure you can trust them
