Do you plan on doing everything from scratch or will you basically be pinching all of the assets by exporting/importing into Unity (that is not a simple process and if you look at Xentax's forums you'll see why it would be difficult) Will you be building of something like uMMORPG or Atavism for a pre-existing framework?
Six months is delusional. I'd imagine you'll just get idiots who want to do this and probably have fuck all to offer the pot. I'm also a bit skeptical as this is a obvious brand new account but you're clearly not new to this game. You don't come across epvp and the 'dead' 9dragons board by accident.
Legal ramifications shouldn't warrent this. You're better of just coming up with your own Wuxia style mmo.
Fantastic. You work in software development which means you're probably well versed in waterfalls, v models, uml, shit like that but what do you know about game development?
What's your current skillset - what have you previously developed, do you have something you can show the community to give them any shred of evidence you are the man for this job.
This isn't a new undertaking. A few people with some decent skill have tried this. I believe the last one was using UE and I think they got as far as importing models and that was as far (at least publicly) where that project went.
Who are you? I'm nervous for your undertaking and I don't know if you're aware. It's gonna be rough.

We've talked before, but not on this account itself.
I'm well aware this is a massive project and it'll take me a while, though right now I've lost the time to commit time on this as I'm moving to a new job at a bank.
My main goal was to build the assets one by one, so I'm currently learning 3D modeling and animation.
Even if it takes me a while, it's better than the current state of the game, and while yes, I could build my own martial arts MMO, 9Dragons is where I grew up for a good decade or so.
I wasn't planning on using uMMO as a framework, but to use their networking system Mirror to do the task, but the more I'm reading and writing code the less I'm liking it, so I'm thinking of developing my own networking solution, which is a good project in and out of itself.
On an unfortunate note, I've received exactly 0 messages(apart from someone DMing me obscenities and disrespectful comments) on Discord or epvp about helping, so I'm afraid I'll probably be the only person working on this and ditching it once I've had enough.
I expected more people wanted to make something out of this but I guess this game really is dead, but I'll still work on this for my own enjoyment
