Please continue discussion here after you've read the blogpost.

I still have a question,

What are the limitations of funding a community server?  Will it be frowned upon to ask for donations?  Or even further (thinking something else) if we sale special promotions in back (Think "gifts" from event) will that be covered?  Is there a take the publisher will have in those sales.

The short version is "to a certain extent"; the long version is that the server itself will have a separate EULA just like other dedicated game server software.

Possibly during the weekend.

Blogpost will come once we got to a point with the tech that we have enough information to share. Dripfeeding at this point will just create speculation - rather have one post that explains everything. Of course that doesn't mean we won't answer certain questions about it - but as you can understand it's a big change, and we hope to do it right.

We already have both a client and a server that are semi-functional as far as dedicated servers go, but they're still not fit for human consumption just yet, and a lot of the information we'd share hinges on certain functionality that we can or cannot get working.

Good to hear about you!

Busy 40ish professional that I have chance to work from home, so you can see me online often.  First, you are all talking like this game is done and going to go away into nether-regions like Star Wars Galaxies.  Let's all keep this game going, even if on a stand-alone server.  I will contribute to help with that definitely a I joined in Beta and been online since then - such a great game.  It was great to see 250 in game at one time and slowly dwindle over the years till just recently sometimes I am only one in general chat.

Great job DEVs on this game as it was fun to play, not complicated, nice world, nice graphics, and we could all "live" on these islands together.  Can not say too much more than has already been said, but definitely please keep this game going.  Even if it takes some investment into a server to keep us 200+ loyal players in the game, let's do it !

Me personally, do not care about further development - just one of the best games that I have played in a long time.  What I like because I work from home, I can mine, run missions, explore, or even do a little PvP without being completed "active" in the game like so many of these games are.  Yes, I like to play Warframe or Diablo, but that is when I have some time to sit down and actually play.  I support everyone else in keeping Perpetuum going ... will be a really sad day if I log in and its not active !

Anyhow it's great news that a standalone server is been developed on your free time. You 2 devs are the greatest and most friendly I have ever met!

Thanks for all the fish, everyone.

I suppose there's no people with development skills to drive this software forward, except for remaining players?
