Silkroad Project with CryEngine3

Hi folks,

A few words about me
I am Tychus(age 33) from EU zone. My sro adventure started in 2005 with ISRO,Xian server. Since then , the franchise became a part of my life eventhough I quit playing it in 2007.

The beginning of this year, I was thinking about howto spend my spare time and the idea of running a private server sounded appealing. With a couple of colleagues and some folks from Epvpers (zikor1337 for setup,wint0r for media, royalblade for tips,lastthief for webcode, pushedx for tuts,lekocgf for design) I started rolling .. Basically I am still responsible for community talks, announcements, updates, db edits, brainstorming for new features, support, and general project management for that private server.. I can't say our server is popular though (since rates are low, botting is pain,etc.)

Well, having so much responsibility granted me a nice perspective , and knowledge all about those subjects.. I have yet to learn a lot of things though.

okok, enough with the intro..:) It was last week when I downloaded cryengine3 for something completely different and suddenly it came dawn on me that the idea of revitalizing the complete silkroad with the cryengine is possible.. It is hard work. It is too much work. It requires skills. It is about creating a game from its ashes.. I know there are some people here who have the ability to involve within a team which can realize such a task in a logical period of time.

I know what I am talking about *actually I am working for a software company completely run under agile environment with scrum method. If there are any capable people out there thinking about sharing their spare time in such a project feel free to write how you may want to involve in it.

We will need many people from various disciplines.

2d,3d artists,CPP programmers,Cryengine enthusiasts, Silkroad experts,community managers,LUA scripters,Content supervisor,etc..

The idea is all about revitalizing the game in a fresh engine by polishing it with new features while sticking to original parameters.
It will completely be free to play, free to distribute and no item malls or any other bullshit money oriented stuff. Briefly COMPLETELY NON COMMERCIAL

A project which is made by the community for the community.. absolutely no economic aim yet funded by me for the IT,domain expenses.

I will start this project anyways even if it is only me. feel free to send your feedbacks or ideas/thoughts (not to flame but only for valuable input)

Note: Communication platform of the project is English.

best
Tychus
