Well, I found something very epic, sadly it's in german but I let google translator do some work for you:
Hello,
I and my team (we are atm 3: I and 2 school colleagues) have launched last week a rather large project. I know it sounds crazy, but we are working on WoW 2. Please do not say we would not do it anyway, because we are very ambition and are very experienced WoW players. I post here to even more people to join our team found. We have a modeler (me), a musician (for background music and sound effects), and a community manager. We are still looking for a programmer that is to give life to the whole. If you want to apply for you, ask what postet on her experience so far with games programming and what programming languages you have it (we can play to write in Java, as we learned last year is already a bit of Java in school).
Our goals / motivation:
Wow is now several years old, and Blizzard does not seem to think of a successor. Instead, they build an extension after another. The graphic is quite old and WoW2 will look much better (my models) are almost photo realistic. The quests are not to be exciting (always kill XY, get XY). It will enter epic battles with up to 500vs500 fighters. We have invented two new classes: Necromancer and hobbling. Here I will not tell you everything, and save for future reference. Anyone who has interessa, which I send a project plan.
We can not pay for the work, but if we publish it, then, we divide such the subscription fees that we receive ($ 10 per player).
Regards.
Wow2
You can check the original Link here (in german).
The Link was posted in our Realmforum and the best comment was from one of our guildmembers (he's a programmer) he just wrote: It sound's a little bit like "Hey in class 1 I learned 1 + 1 now I go to the NASA and be a rocket scientist".
