Alright, so here’s the deal. This whole Borderlands Online adventure is like a rabbit hole I fell into and, I mean, why does this stuff always happen when you’ve got a million other things to do? Whatever. So, there’s this small, kinda scrappy group doing their darnedest to bring this game back to life. They’re calling out to all the code wizards, like, if you know your way around DNSpy or Unity Ripper, sign up. Why? ‘Cause there’s this annoying barrier at the character screen. Ugh, typical.
This guy, EpicNNG — who is, honestly, just a big nerd in the best way — made it to the class selection thing before hitting a snag. Not ’cause they lack skill but ’cause there aren’t enough hands on deck. He’s pretty insistent they’ve got the whole game. “We’ll get in, just need time,” he says. Sounds hopeful, right?
Oh! And in a very long and, dare I say, nerdy video, EpicNNG shows off their journey — which, by the way, involved digging through ancient Chinese websites. It’s like a digital archeology adventure but with far less dust and more sketchy links. Seriously, some links were just dead ends or loaded with digital cooties. Yikes. So yeah, don’t dive in if you don’t know what you’re doing.
Now, they’re super clear about one thing though: no stepping on 2K’s toes. No one here wants to tango with legal, you know? Still, there’s this cloud hanging over the project. With Borderlands 4 in the wild, 2K might go all legal eagle if they catch wind. EpicNNG, he knows it’s a gamble, but respect to him for rolling with it.
Plus, time’s ticking. Activision shut down the H2M Call of Duty mod out of fear it’d sidetrack fans from their shiny new releases. Imagine if 2K gets a whiff of this project and thinks the same for Borderlands 4? Not great.
If this thing pulls through, it’ll be like the vintage wine of video game archives — rare, cherished, and a little intoxicating for the enthusiasts. So, rooting for the pros? Absolutely. But, hey, unless you’re some kind of coding master, maybe just cheer from afar. Whoa, I went off on a tangent there — anyway, here’s hoping someone out there throws them a lifeline.
