didnt this game die off ? i saw threads in the ot posts about it is no more...

[diabolus]

I\'m not sure either but this is a sticky topic on their forums:

http://projectwish.com/viewtopic.php?t=97

We would like the communities input on this. There are good and bad advantages with merging. If we merge with PlaneShift, we may lose some features from Wish. One of the main ones that I am worried about losing in the merge is the PnC system (Point and Click). The good side to this is that we would be joining a team with over four years experience. Please post your comments and questions in this thread.

From what i can gather is that Wish is \'cancelled\', but the sourcecode is still there. No one seems to know where exactly that is going. So i have no idea. MMORPG.com got one huge thread about it, no real clues there either.

1-9-2005 - Wish Canceled

 Dear friends of Wish:

Unfortunately we have bad news.

After careful consideration of all the facts and analyzing all the data which we have gathered from the Wish Beta 2.0 test so far, we have decided to cancel the Wish project.

Our Beta test will end this evening at 6pm EST, and at this time our Beta forums will close as well.

We enjoyed working together with our fans very much, and we are very sorry about this development. We wish you the best of luck in the future, and hope that you continue to enjoy online gaming, even with Mutable Realms and Wish not being available anymore.

We also wish the best luck to our competitors, and hope that they will not suffer the same fate as us.

Best regards,
Your Mutable Realms Team

I\'m somewhat confused. Where does Project Wish fit into the picture?

[Foresteer]

the game did unfortunantly yes .. the spirit and the community did not (out of 60k people there are many programmers, artists etc. catch my drift? (the game as a corporate game did die.. how ever the former players are taking the spirit of the project forwards... refer to the websire for more details)

project wish is hopefully another open sorce MMO project... just becuase wish died doesn\'t mean the people behind it did.. poke around the forum and the IRC.. your questions can be answered there

[davo]

ok i know it died and everything....but...what is wish, and how is it related to planeshift ?

ahh i dont know to much lat all about it except it died ol

[Efflixi Aduro]

Ya why ar they talking about ps when we here have never even heard of these people?
Its a conspiracy I tell ya!

[diabolus]

This  i gleamed off their forums for all you conspiracy theorists

    My name is Luca Pancallo,
    and I\'m the project director of PlaneShift
    http://www.planeshift.it
    Was very bad for me to see that another mmorpg failed to be completed
    and that pushed me to contact you to avoid that happening another time.
    I have some experience in working on mmorpg projects, having done that
    for most of my life (I\'m 31). Thanks to organization, efforts, team
    spirit, great talents and some good luck PlaneShift is in very good
    shape these days. We just released the new tech demo, and we had 18.000
    accounts in less than 2 weeks, but surely it\'s still under development,
    many things needed to reach the final 1.0 release. Building a mmorpg a
    is huge task, the most complex software project ever. So complex that
    even fully fledge companies with dozens of people can\'t complete at
    times. Building one with a volunteer team is even harder. To avoid
    failing, there is only one way, gathering resources under a common
    project, joining strengths. That\'s why I\'m here, to understand if there
    are possibilities to join the forces between you and us under PlaneShift
    hat. I see many similarities of the two projects and I will highlight some:

    - 3d fantasy mmorpg

    - open source code to leverage the power of the community

    - strive for be the best mmorpg out there

    - talented team (we still have to evaluate your members, but the
    premises seem good)

    - organized team; not the usual Open Source, where everyone does what he wants

    - a skill based system for progression (= no levels)

    - focus on building great NPC AI

    - use of Crystal Space as 3D engine (50% of your choices)


    If you decide to join us you will have the possibility to add many of
    the ideas present in Wish and make them part of PlaneShift, like special
    races, places, background stories, etc... there is really a lot of space
    in PlaneShift to integrate new ideas. In addition you will start with 4
    years of development already made, with all the knowledge, internal
    tools, organization built in these years. If you start from scratch now,
    you will need at least 3 years to be at the point PlaneShift is now.

    Our primary goal is to create a great 3d fantasy mmorpg free for
    players, having a team of talented people that love that target. I\'m
    sure PlaneShift is in good position to succeed, and I think joining us
    it\'s a very good option for any developer that wants to work on such a
    project in his spare time.

    I\'m at your disposal for additional questions,

    sincerely,

    Luca.

oh wow.

now i get the link between wish and planeshift.

keep me updated, i want to see weather ot not they join forces.  hmm they could probably import monsters from wish into planeshift..or not but..

they would be able to build planeshift faster and easierly.

[Foresteer]

Yup we wouldn\'t be importing monsters FROM wish but from the project that was started because of wish (the wish stuff is copyrighted).. and yes we look forwards to woking with ya\'ll too (actualy i have one foot in PS and one in PW so thats kind of neat )

though i highly doubt we would merge... work together i can promise you come on talk it up with us on irc! (in siggy)
