Looks cool, going to read more about the lore and give it a shot if I can come up with a character 🤙
-
Why the fuck would you go for Backend in C++ and frontend in Java 🤣 just the wrong way around
-
1999 was rough I guess 😜
-
Because in theory you know what the server is running on, and can optimise for that with C++, while supporting the front end on multiple architectures using one codename with Java.
-
The JIT compiler of Java does the optimization you're talking about. So that advantage of C++ is not really there.
You can compile C++ for all architectures you want as well. The reason you don't normally use Java for clients is that the garbage collector runs at undefined times, causing stuttering. This has been rectified through new algorithms though, so the real reason why you don't wanna use Java is because it simply doesn't have the best tooling and libraries that C++ has, no Unreal engine and no Godot.

what do they mean roleplaying is "enforced"?
It means roleplay is mandatory, so it's not a game for you if you just want to play alone by yourself, you need to roleplay with other players.
Roleplay means acting as your created character would and speak like your character would, so not speaking like this "LOL BROOO HOW U DOING?" but for example if your character is a polite human they may speak like this "Greetings good sir, how is your day?"
If they are an angry orc they may speak like this instead "Meh smash yoo puny oomie!"
i know what roleplaying is, or at least what this game seems to think it is...
i want to know what "enforced" means. they don't say.
