FWO General Discussion / Server
« on: December 05, 2008, 10:45:06 AM »
hey,
i have been out of the fwo scene since cib first took over as the distributor of fwo.
to my understanding phoenix game studios went bankrupt sometime last year and now i see their website, and the cib fwo distribution website is down. because PSG went bankrupt i presume the game is now open source, but i cant get in contact with PSG to find out if this is correct, and cib wont reply to my emails.
im from the UK, studying computational physics at edinburgh university and wish to take up a FWO restoration project as an academic exercise with fellow students/friends. between us, we have played in beta1 through to p2p and dont wish to see one of our favorite games end. we want to start our own private server, and some of us wish to code the game from scratch out of enjoyment/learn C++ but we need the source code or atleast server files/databases which ofcourse would be down to wether the game is open source or not (we do not wish to get the source code illegally)
if anyone could shed light on the situation that would be a big help.
