Here are all my posts regarding The Chronicles of Spellborn. TCOS was a Dutch MMORPG in development during the '00s. It was released at the end of 2008 and developer was shuttered a few months later. The game itself hopped from one publisher to the other but eventually was taken down in 2010. In 2019, a group of enthusiasts got the game working again for free at spellborn.org.
I started working on the game as a temporary editor, but stuck around long enough to become content content. The posts here might give a bit more insight into what happened behind the scenes during development.
