As someone who's essentially owned this from the start, due to one of my friends telling me of it.
It's interesting to see how much potential this game had and how much I looked forward to seeing it release, when it was announced.

But sadly, due to the lack of any updates, missed release date, cancellation of content, then massive radio silence, I kind of forgot about the game. I'll be honest, while I'm sad to see the money I spent, just go down like this, considering the servers will shut down sometime next year, I enjoyed what little time I spent on this game.

Developers, allow the community to host their own servers, while I know how big of an ask that is, it's better than just turning this into a paper weight. There are many people that would love to continue playing this game, make mods for it or, just essentially, become the new nurturers of the game and finish what you left off on.

I know, all I can do is ask and hope, but there's many spots this game hit for me and I would personally love to see it continue on. Please, PLEASE, reconsider the conclusion you have come to and allow the community to shed at least some light onto the abyss this has turned into.
