    How to emulate servers?

    Hello, can anyone point me in the direction of a guide or something that i need to do to start emulating servers?
    I'm looking in particular to create a source for rift and GW2 when that comes out.
    The problem is, i dont know shit.

    As in, nothing. I can code in c++ but that doesnt give me much.

    I also want to know HOW to do it, because simply learning a language only gives you theoretical skills.
    Hell, i dont even know where to start with all these questions:

    How does encryption work on official servers?
    How do you find that encryption?
    How do you decrypt it?
    How do you sync c++ code with sql servers?
    And 100s of more questions.
    If someone helps me out, i swear to everyone on this forum i will get a ****ing open-source rift emulator project up and running!

    Im also not talking about rift only.
    How do the people that create emulators for mmos even do it?
    It's not like there's a guide on creating a server for that game.

    If someone knew the answers to these questions they would have made the emulator by now. And it would be easier to make the emulator than to answer these questions

    People have made 100s of different servers for rift
    There's even a top 100 server list for 'em.

    Also, sierracore (or sienna) apparently already has a login done.
    So people do have answers to those questions.

    -Learn winsock api

    -Study tcp packet structure

    -Hook send/recv (sometimes they like to be sneaky and write their own user implemented wrap of ntdeviceiocontrolfile)

    -Find where the transmitted buffers are encrypted/decrypted.

    profit
