I have been following NeL and Ryzom for a while now and find this has a LOT of potential for many emulator projects...especially ones in need of at least a framewrk, but the fact the client s opensource as well really puts new face on Emu projects...
It means a OT less reinventing of the wheel and not needing to be restricted by pubishers EULAs, opening the door for all kinds of custom content projects. Sure its not an exact fit, not one size fits all, but its a LOT better than starting from scratch.
With the Ryzom stuff you have a commercial grade client/server framework, development tools, full source code AND documentation and the knowledge that it works.
I am willing to bet there is potential to adapt the Ryzom client to be a client core for other Emu projects.
