Let me just clarify a few things; We don't have any kind of bad feelings towards K09, but here is what happened to us.
Tico and I were offered the server by David, and both of us were in class. Before we even had a change to respond, the server was given to K09. We already have a fully experienced development team with tons of motivation and time available to them; and I have been running a server for 6 years! We weren't even given a chance...
Additionally, Project06 is using the 2006Scape source. We have that source, it is absolutely terrible. David even told us not to "judge" the source when we saw it. Of course this is nothing against David, I do not know what he was/is doing but he did do a good job. We have an absolutely amazing architecture that supports 2,000 players per world, multiple worlds, multiple versions, a plugin system for content, SQL database storage for configuration, an amazing staff website, and so much more. And we want people and developers to help us with this project. What we lack in is a player base, and it would be nice if people gave us a chance.
Just look at all of the projects I have created. I have a Siri proxy that lets old devices use Siri and allows customization all written in Java; I rewrote the Minecraft server back in Minecraft beta, and so on. Why not give my team and I a chance?
