The problem is, Titan, officially, doesn't have a server. Let alone the code. So far as we all know. And even if they did, I don't think it'd be a good idea for them to opensource it, simply because if they were to do that, NCSoft would have open season on them.
First things first: This is
not an effort by the Titan Network. I'm not saying that to deflect legal responsibility for it, I'm saying it because I want to make sure the credit is given where credit is due. I honestly haven't had much time to dig into this so I'm not running it myself, but from what I've seen, Nemerle has made
extremely significant strides in reverse engineering this puppy, and I heartily applaud his efforts. I can't wait to see what comes out of this, and if there are experienced coders out there who can help him,
please drop him a PM and see how you can help out.
But anyway, as it's not our code, we have zero control over whether it gets "open sourced" or how it will be distributed or what servers will run it. I don't want to volunteer running a server myself, because truth is, we're talking amongst ourselves about scaling back the Titan Network server used to run our sites as it is--with folks not hitting the web service that Sentinel used or visiting the Paragon Wiki much any more, we don't need the resources that we once did. I've got some personal irons in the fire (some CoH-related, some not) that I'd like to save those resources for in case they're needed (such as
emergencies among our developers).
Nemerle and I don't talk on a regular basis. I'm not avoiding him or anything, just staying pretty busy. But if he's still reading this thread, if you need anything from me, let me know!
