From Big Bang Studios, and published by Alpha-Omega, comes Universe. Probably one of the oldest MMOs, though surprisingly few know much about it. The detail in this game rivals games like Warcraft, Dwarf Fortress, and even Minecraft. It is a simply amazing feat of engineering and game design.
Stage 1 of porting a mod to a new version is to get the thing compiling. Once this is done you can move on to getting the game to launch, managing to create a world, and then a wealth of tests to ensure all the features work.
