My initiation as developer enthusiastic started on one of the firsts MMORPG games. The server and client code was made in C++, published by the community. Made my own server adding new features and many fixes. Participated and helped the game development community.Some technical features i experienced:• Sockets• Network packets (server<->clients)• Game server logic• Game client logic• Login server/user management• Client GUI development
