Hi, its me, onez0r.
Jep, the guy that wanted to make the Pokemon MMO and just disappeared.
Why you ask? Well, the code got quite bugged at some point and i just didnt have the time (and maybe the skills) to debug it. I also was quite frustrated when i thought about how VB6 wont be supported anymore in newer Windows Versions, so i just lost my motivation.
Well, ive been lurking here quite some time and NetGore looks pretty interesting. Also downloaded it, but im a bit confused about what is what... anyway i managed to get it running. I dont know yet if i will make a new game, or maybe even try to remake my Pokemon game, but well- we will see Smile

I should warn you that there was a pokemon mmo created by some indie's before and they got sued by nintendo and had to shut down.

Not trying to be a wet noodle (ohh god I said that...) just be careful with IP's that are still in use.

and welcome back (I just came back too. Not so busy anymore ahahaha)

I just checked on some of those Pokemon mmorpgs and a couple seem very much alive though, wonder why Nintendo doesn't C&D them all but only a few. These have over 100 player so you can't really say they're still indy in the sense of a small community. Some even charge money for a premium account o_O

They probably do get C&D letters (or just a letter), but ignore it knowing that Nintendo won't really do anything. Anyone can send a letter, but its a whole other beast to bring things to court. I'm sure they realize that the costs wouldn't be worth it and it'd just end up making fans angry with them and bringing negative publicity.

Because the one that was shut down had 500+ online at a time. Blatantly used all the graphics from the latest DS games and was just starting to advertise themselves on mmorpg.com and mmosite.com

Nintendo isn't going to pay their lawyers to shut down a game with 100 players ;p

EDIT: and yah I use to run the first RFonline Pservers years ago. I got a nice C&D and ignored it. Of course the game itself sucked and I ended up shutting down a month later xD
