For some reason, I click it, and Google translated it for me?
Hello,
me and my team (we are atm 3: me and 2 school colleagues) started a pretty big project last week. I know it sounds crazy, but we are working on a successor to WoW. Please don’t say we can’t do it anyway, because we are very ambitious and are very experienced WoW players. I’m posting here to find more people for our team. We have a modeler (me), a musician (for the background music and sound effects) and a community manager. We are still looking for a programmer to bring the whole thing to life. If you would like to apply, please post what experience you have so far with game programming and what programming languages you know (we want to write the game in Java because we already learned a bit of Java at school last year).
Our goals/motivation:
Wow is now a few years old and Blizzard doesn’t seem to be thinking about a successor. Instead, they create one extension at a time. The graphics are quite old and WoW2 is supposed to look much better (my models are almost photorealistic). The quests should be more exciting (don’t always kill XY, get XY). >There will be epic battles with up to 500vs500 fighters. We have invented two new classes: Necromancer and Hobblings.
But I don’t want to tell you everything here and save it for later. I will send a project plan to anyone who is interested.
^We can’t pay for the work, but when we publish it, for example, we share the subscription fees we get ($10 per player).
The OP replied a few time as well, reiterating that this is a serious project. They even uploaded some of the “photorealistic” models, but the pics are offline, sadly.
I don’t think it was ever truly revealed whether it was an elaborate troll or just a spark of adolescent folly.
Me: reads the comment
Me: reads “German gaming magazine”
German
Still me: clicks the link and is disappointed when it’s all in German

Clearly adolescent folly. I too remember thinking making a video game would be very easy.
It is, you just have an idea, do some art and then glue it together with code.
