I agree totally with you on that point Kaiyn,
Â
Just after Acclaim had shut down the last Spellborn server there was a petition like this.
If I remember right the respons from one of the dutch staff was something like:
- Â it was a nice thing, but we're gonna let it rest like it is.
- Newer hardware -Â software has more options and better quality
- We're  no longer spending time / money for Spellborn.
Â
Â
Now the idea as community would be like we wanna play our beloved game, don't care who runs the server.
Â
Publishers don't work for free, they would like to see something in return from running the Spellborn server.
Â
If we're able to fund a server to run the game, that would be a different thing,
it would still mean there would be monthly / yearly costs like electricity, internet traffic , domain costs.
In other words, even if we would have the code to run the Spellborn server and database system linked to it,
it would need a bigger group of players donating to keep the system going.
Â
I doubt if we would ever come that far.
Â
Anyway the petition gives some attention to our beloved game, never bad I would say.
Â
Greetings Jan-Willem
