Thanks for your work, thanks for the game, good luck in the future.

Playing Perpetuum more off than on recent years however I want to disclose my deepest respect to all who put a part of your hearts in creating, developing and playing this beautiful game. Experience I had in Perpetuum was one of most inspiring moments in more than 12 years of my MMO adventuring. This World definitely is Live and this is part of a miracle that we call the Game. It is not possible to gauge or calculate, it just happens like live spirit makes things live. And Perpetuum are one of those gems.

I wish all the best to all of us and hope we will meet some day in a new and restarted world of Perpetuum.

The fact that we are still reading and responding to the forums shows the love and impact this game has had on us.

Most of us have many, many years of gaming under our belt and have played tons of different games and this is indeed one of the most memorable and interesting of all of them.

Thank you for making it and putting your hearts and souls into such a great game.

Yes it was all fun and dramatic...

... But within 24 hours of this "stuff" getting out and being posted on Steam, there's replies and "informing the community". Nevermind the last 3 months of the last 10 people playing literally begging for some scrap of information.

Even if there is a community server, how will new players be able to join it? By buying the game on Steam? And 6 months down the road, when the community server is developed and rebalanced far beyond the point of the official server, will people be buying premium here to boost their characters on the community server?

So many questions to be answered in the blog post.

Character creation was never on this website in the first place - there is of course a gateway that creates you a forum avatar, but that is just something we did to sync your accounts between the forum and the game for convenience.

On a standalone server, character creation would work exactly like it does now, except of course the character will be local to that server.

Sorry, account creation was what I meant.

Since you're reading and answering (thanks for that btw ):
Can you give us an idea of what will be needed to run the perp standalone? Or one or two islands at once? Just a rough estimate, no specific number needed.

Another question: As new robots/modules have always been a problem to be introduced to the game: Will we get the ability to do so? If so, could you do a quick explanation how it works, when you're done?

i think the client will get a "lobby" added to join servers
just like many other games on steam.

what i find interesting -
those setting up a standalone server will more or less be able to "sell" their own booster packs..
and since EXP for npc kills is already a developed feature,
someone could set up a server where you actually progress by playing, not waiting.

Do you have mirrors of what the game was like at release? If you could roll the server's back to that and then sell upgrades with the new functionality is hump your leg.

Dear Dev's, thank you for making this game. It has been probably the best MMO experience I have had (played a few in my time as well). I have so much enjoyed the fights, the enemies, the politics, the friends and fun in my time here.

I think that your noble gesture of providing the game DRM free is all the more powerful given the personal blood and tears you put in this game. I salute you sirs.

I do hope a version of the game can continue, as I would still very much interested. As Beast said FA Forever have done and my other favourate Return of Reckoning (Warhammer online) as well.

I need to quote this.

Well, looking back, it was better than Eve for me, after all. And not because of f2p, which wasn't so for me anyway

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