Quote: Hi everyone !
Here I come to present you a french project about model editing. Indeed Forge WoW's goal is to create a completely new world (get rid of azeroth & co), so the player will start in a new continent with new story
Here is some screen of the project (still under construction so don't be afraid by some lack of textures):

As you know this is a long term project, writing new quests & so.
To help us with this project we need some people (french speaking would be great):
- For mapping (the new world needs new worlds' creator !)
- For dbc editing
- Quests creations
- Drawer / designer (world map etc.)
- SQL manager
You can follow us on our forums : Forge WoW
or our website : Forge-WoW | Votre serveur WoW !

Quote:Sounds... ambitious. It looks pretty cool, though at places it doesn't quite come together perfectly (imo). I figure a good mindset for large scale world-building projects is to have a very specific concept and working that out, then seeing how far you've gotten and thus creating a continent (or even just a zone) bit by bit.
Also, how exactly will players experience the continent? Will it be 1-60? Seems like an inhuman amount of work if you want it to look and feel polished; your effort would be spread fairly thin. See if I were you, assuming it's technically possible, I'd make a new expansion-like continent. Outland had seven zones, Northrend had 10 questing zones and in both cases you could skip an entire zone and reach the level cap. Just my two cents.
Good luck, though. Hopefully you'll actually get to finish it, heh.

Quote: Hi,
Actually we plan to make 10 majors zones a little smaller than outlands one (divided in 3 Isles) for a leveling phase of 1 to 40~ with a strong background history introducing this zones and leading the player in a specific place (the midle isle).
What we want to do (later) when this will be done is to introduce news zones (like an expansion pack) with new quests and a max level of 60 (we don't plan to go farther).
It's a large amount of work that's why we need people to help us =)

Quote: I'm not exactly sure why, but a number of your screenshots are reminiscent of WoW in its alpha period. I think it may be your texturing methods and sparse model usage, but I'm not sure...

I like the idea of your 3rd pic (fix the shadows tho).

You are right, this zone (ally start zone) is based on hyjal (that's the only one actually

Quote:Not to be rude or anything you guys, it's really all about ambition and all..
But maybe 9/10 of these projects I've seen usually die halfway through, this is something I call 'Overplanning' (An Example would be planning for a baby, only to have it die at birth. That's a horrid example, but you get it.)
Just to make this simple, unless you guys know for a FACT that you can get a good userbase, some donations (Not NEEDED) and friendships, You'll probably get bored halfway though.
Since I've given you some bad advice, now I think you need some good advice.
When it comes to forests, you can never go wrong with an uphill slope (Example: Grizzly Hills, the zone is amazing)

Quote:I really like your idea, and I am aware that you guys are certainly ambitious.
That is why I would be honoured to do work for you. I'm semi-fluent is french and anything I don't understand or can't express I can easily find out how, just might be a bit blocky.
I would really like to be responsible for character, creature and object creation creation, especially reskinning. I feel like a world can look so much greater with a few tweaks in the skinning.
I also may be taking up noggitt once I get a new computer so I would love to assist in world building.
If all this flies, I think it is worthy of donations and a private server.
