Is there an emulator to fall back on?

[Malaki2030]

Now that Hasbro has taken over complete control of openascent.org I am afraid it will soon be gone or so outdated that its unusable....Is there another ascent-like emulator to fall back on?

MAngos welcomes you! Dsky said!

mangos = bad

You have obviously not even tested it.

Ascent = Bigger, and bigger = Buggier

Mangos = Less buggier but not as big. Therefor not so much releases and help =P

The first thing is right, if you mean the community. Yes it's bigger due to various reasons. The source code is not.

And about MaNGOS. Not so much releases? Very wrong... Just because ascent got a much bigger community doesn't mean MaNGOS got less developers. They got a LOT more. It gets updated at least 2-3 times every hour. If you compare that with openascent you will see difference.

Maybe, must admit that I know nearly nothing about Mangos, but I tryed to prove that mangos didn't suck atleast

Ascent will never die out even if openascent.com does not exist, there will be a svn for it you don;t have to give up as soon as a website closes

I agree with 2d cause if you think about it someone will always be willing to pop open ascent and keep it going for this community and the OA community.

Ascent = Naturally better due to it's customization and very easy to edit once you get the hang of it.

Hasbro was in charge of OA for the past few weeks..

Mangos is teh evil.

I'm willing to fall back to WoWemu before mangos.

what is it with people here? 95% of you guys havent tested mangos in the last 3 months. It is a pretty good emu atm. Ascent is good, but mangos also has its storng points. While ascent focuses on Player Limit and stability, mangos is aimed for features and blizz-like-ness. If you dont know much about mangos, stick with ascent. If you think your doomed move to Mangos. There are character converters other there for both emulators. Just dont judge what u havent seen!

What crack are you smoking...MaNGOS takes like 30 minutes to compile and the code is a complete mess/badly written.

In the one to a million chance Ascent does crash and burn like antrix but no new thing comes up the mmowned team is smart enough to put down the joint and get to work =D
