i would. i’m actually searching for a job. it’s just that my english skills aren’t hat good and that i currently wouldn’t be able to relocate (because of various reasons)
I would take it for sure, the only little problem is I am currently studying my Ph. D. in Computer Science (at Knoxville), and don’t plan to finish it for a couple of years…
As far as requirements, I don’t think I have shipped a game at all :’( (who has? :?) Other than that, I humbly think I could fit it. (Ok, ok, I am no avid MMO player since I don’t have that much time ;))
Is there any chance this is going to happen again in some years? (I mean, of course jME will still be around in 3 years, but not the position)
