This is the end.
I've finally been forced to acknowledge something that I was sort of aware of, but I had pushed into the back of my mind: that is that it is neither safe, practical, nor even legal in most cases due to the harsh rules set by many internet service providers to host a public server of any kind in this modern world where freedom is a joke, and large corporations dictate how we can communicate.
Even so, I've enjoyed taking this risk, and I've enjoyed sharing an experience with everyone who participated.
I've learned an incredible amount about what it's like to maintain a server, and I'm sure that knowledge will be useful in the future, although I won't be able to use it to give life to the stuff of dreams, quite like I did here.
I'll still be around the forums, and I might publish a mod or two.
The repository will remain up (although I might change the name, I'll update the link). I've backed up the world, and I find a way, I might bring the server back, some day.
Thanks for playing,
