i've created a topic two years ago on similar basis, asking kk to use an Open source game engine like the OpenNel or other, but if i'm not wrong they replied something like this "we are not pretending to make the game free and we don't want to lose our technology"... i think if they had spend sometime most of the bug in game would be gone by now, with a comunity dev helping Kk to fix bugs or update bugs BUT it would be KK who would manage the code and stuff the game would be paid for the content, events and stuff... but ayway i felt that i was dead after KK answered me...
I too made a modding thread and it died a firey death and was molested by perverts.
If you want content make a new game.
From what I remember from a previous game, Germany has some odd copywrite laws partaining to player created content.
QBASIC, Pascal, Fortan, I can understand, but VB!?Quote:

Who said its VB? But however the discussion about languages is pointless for we'll never be involved in making Neocron a better world :(
Btw thx Triv for the hint, but that's simply not the way i want to contribute. Everyone has its favorites... :angel:
Not sure if it's just me, but none of the Links work in Triv's Post :wtf:
And as much as I hate to burst anyone's bubble - daralzand, that proposition has been made about as many times as anyone has killed a drom. And like those droms, thanks to legal ramifications and such, it's a dead topic.
Why FN, why do you hurt them :'(Quote:

all you have to do is employ us as volunteer KK staff...you dont have to pay us a penny. we wouls sign all of the documents and agreements that all other KK staff have had to sign in the past. there hasnt been a patch in 9 months.
the game will dwindle to nothing so there would be no harm in making us your staff and us giving the game a new lease of life
TBH i have the resources to come over to Germania and meet with you guys to get this ball rolling.
this could be the best thing that has happened to neocron since evo 2.1.
just think about it man instead of blithly disregarding my offer of FREE employment out of hand as the idea of someone who wants to steal your TECH.
other companies such as Lucasarts and bethesda ( star wars and elderscrolls respectivly) have made their design tech freely available to open market with no ill affect.
i have made content for star wars: Jedi knight 1 and 2...and also for elderscrolls: morrowind and oblivion. i know my shit so to speak.
i have played all the mmos out there and neocron somehow keeps pulling me back to it even with all the "added" features such as bugs and lack of content updates.
give me a chance...there is no way i can harm you (i wont bite, honest).
contact me throught the email address that i have linked to this forum account and we can talk about me coming to see you guys for further talks.
cheers.
ps:sorry about the spellin errors in my post.
No one is thinking for a moment that you're out to steal anything but I'm afraid that's just not how business works. Employment is a complex and expensive business even when the employee works unpaid. Also, the contracts we have in place with the licensors of some of our assets forbid the type of arrangement you suggest. I'm afraid it just isn't a possibility - if it were then you can bet we would have taken up similar offers in the past. I'm sorry.Quote:

Just saying if you had the man power NC would be a very big mmo, there hasnt been a patch in what almost 10 month's, the reason is lack of man power?
how is a game supposed to suvive with only like 5 people working on it?
not being out of order to you guys but you need to open youre options a little to get the game back on its feet
tbh there isnt even 5 people working it on it...there will never be a new batch of content unless they recruit new people who work on a volunteer basis.
i also know how employment works. you wouldnt have to insure me as i would work from home. you wouldnt have to pay for the paper that my contracts are printed on. if you want i can bring my own ink. employment is done by someone applying and then having an interview with yourselves.
i would come to germany and have a casual talk with you guys about the options that we have...what is the harm in that?
and to your statement of your licensors. as an employee of KK how on gods earth did you guys create content using peoples suggestions and if making new stuff is against their rules? if i were under your employ then i would be under the same rules and regulations as a member of the KK staff, would i not. are you guys not alowed to hire new members of staff who are able to work on content?
ps: ive just found out that you live in the UK. so do i. lets meet up to discuss this matter.
