Owner:

Gillvane has owned and operated this website since 2005. Gillvane started this site as an open discussion about Realm Crafter, since at the the time there were no public forums to specifically discuss the Realm Crafter engine. Since then, the site has evolved into a place to share information with indie developers about making MMORPGs using all the latest MMORPG engines available, model making for MMORPGs, and much more. 

Gillvane enjoys discussions about MMORPG game mechanics and design concepts, and supporting indie developers interested in making an MMORPG, regardless of experience level. 

If you need to email Gillvane with documents, files, or other inquiries, please request his email address in a private message on this website. Gillvane has no intention of selling this site, or the MMORPGMaker.com domain at this time.
