All of the netcode was done in php sockets and streams, the UI and graphics are VRML 1.0 and Javascript.

The servers are AS/400, so everything is written in RPG. I only recently found out that Planetside is a roleplaying game after all.

This strikes me as funny, but not the way it was intended.
Maybe if you said "No, the server is an old Eniac". Now thats funny.

is anyone going to answer it seriously? =\

Mazelmavin · 2003-01-31, 05:52 PM

It is probably C++. Seriously.

Doobz · 2003-01-31, 05:52 PM

its proprietory i think

diluted · 2003-01-31, 05:55 PM

ic. ya im taking a c++ class and even though we're not far along i have absolutely no idea how they could do that. ive heard of game companies making their own code to suit needs.
