Times are going mad

Pandora (‘s Box)

Team: Dameon, Burlex, Brian, Forsaken
It is follower of WDDG’s Ludmilla. Total rewrite was commenced (I was told that never really started) but as developers left one by one, cores were changing more often than socks it had pretty short ending. At the beginning as the core was Ludmilla’s, few weeks later when Burlex left (as he was only developer at that time working on core) the Ludmilla’s core was abandoned. A week later it was announced the new Pandora will use Java and currently is being ported from eWOW’s src. This was actually demented by Dameon, but I’ll keep it here Another week later a guy showed in their channel. He said he works on DOL (Dawn of Light – emulator for DAOC) and wants to help with project. So all the ports were halted and core switched again… A week later everything went wrong and Dameon with Brian left at the same time… Pandora’s box wasn’t supposed to be opened…

Dameon’s resignation from Pandora

Ok it has come past time that I do this. I can’t take the pressure anymore. Lack of coders, lack of help. It’s too much to take and takes the fun out of coding an emulator. Therefore I have finally come to the decision to quit project Pandora, and move to a new project that has more potential, and an all around good staff. I’m sorry if I disappointed anyone. I may continue a small amount of side work on the core and then release it with semi-1.9 support, but don’t get too worked up over it. From the beginning it has been 3 people. Me, Burlex, and Forsaken. We lost Burlex. That brings us down to 2 actual coders. Its just too much stress to take. If anyone would like to take over the project from here; please send me a pm and I will get you the adequate information. Thanks for everything guys. I will still be around of course as this is my site now

I throw a huge thank you to everyone who helped and tried to provide us with support!

Thanks, Dameon

Times are going mad

With Pandora’s end, many people asked what’ll be going on now. Time gave us few answers. Raiden started his project FuckWad, tried to get all the developers on his site and tried to make dying WOWEmu suffer for longer time. He tried to get info on how the WOW works, so he can apply it to WOWEmu by injections. That idea died as soon as it started, partially because new patches was released and people (based on OldOne’s idea) modified patches for client to work with old WOWEmu, partially because many thing on WOWEmu was fixed by TCL plugins and partially because Raiden wasn’t that leet as he needed to be to achieve so great goal. He wanted to bring GotWOW community back to life, but ever since situation changed a lot from that time, he failed. His project separated into three different ones (FuckWad, Ahn’Quiraj Project and iWOW). First two concentrates on bringing up 1.9.x content to WOWEmu and iWOW started completely new development. TheBlackMage as main developer later canceled his partnership with Raiden and continues to modify WOWDragon (based on WOWQuest (based on WOWDaemon)) His progress is publicly available on http://fearthemurloc.com and even if it’s rather slow, it show some progress. It won’t be playable in short time, but someday we might be surprised

Blizzhackers.us vs Blizzhackers.ws

As soon as these two were established, the fights began. Hacking one, hacking of the second one with no end. Children fighting if you ask me, but ever since the ego of the both owners is reaaally huge, we’ll have to get over it They are doing great job keeping it alive, thought

Ludmilla? Ludmilla!

It was reported dead twice or three times, but in the beginning of March 2006, the post on one of Blizzhackers forum infused life into Ludmilla’s followers. It was unofficially announced live and ready and ready for release in less than a month, underground proved it, so we’ll be glad to see little lady in here.

As you might have heard, the release of Ludmilla really happened. One nice day MasterM decided to show the beta version to the public. It was loved, hated but from what I have heard, never really used… It needs its time to evolve…

Ludmilla finally sees the daylight (It’s more like: “the daylight finally sees Ludmilla”)

This is the end… of waiting…
It was a long time full of ups and downs, promises, suggestions and lies. It has been ages since some of our previous project members decided to leak our sources and the flame wars began. We’re proud to show you the real Ludmilla in her current state of development, also known under codename ‘Kobold’. We hope that the community will stick together and grow with this. We hope that many spawners will start their work on new instances like Naxx. And we hope that there will be a big scripting community using this servers oportunities.

Blizz strikes back!

Kronos talking about Blizzard striking down development teams

I talked with pavkam on the phone.
Rod Rigole (Vivendi universal games), Leonora Roos (Forensic investigations Technology), Bowman Gilfillan (BG Atorneys), Christian S. Genetski went to PavkaM’s dorm, and forced him to retire from the WOW scene. They said that they are after me and Ashel next. They already went to RaymerJacques in South Africa and forced him to retire as well. Conclusion - All of WDDG is pretty much dead because of this. I will retire as well. Raymerjack said that Blizzard is going to take down WowwoW and MaNGOS as well. They spent 9 hours in RJ’s house searching his hard drive and stuff. I’m retiring from the WOW scene as well. I’d suggest you to take this project private, or theluda should contact that laywer of yours just in case.

Raymer’s life is sometimes sad (no idea if it’s true or pure fiction, still fun what can people can think of)

By the way, I had a conversation with a WDDG developer and he said that the money that donated…the developers never saw one Penny of that. All the money went to ray… which he bought porn with…
