Time is running short for robotic MMO Perpetuum Online — but plans are moving forward to keep the game alive with a couple of jury-rigged solutions.

Announcing the Open Perpetuum Project
The decision to close the Official server at the end of Jan has prompted the OPP Dev team to rocket forward with our development. We know that A LOT of players have been in contact with us to release and we have not wanted to release a server that is not up to our satisfaction.
However, we also recognize there is a need to respond as best as we can to the community and the issues with the game that we were all familiar with.
We have teams working on balance, Island design, content and the economy. As these areas are developed they will be added into the game. We are now moving forward into an accelerated Alpha server throughout February. This is both a stress test and bug hunt.
So if you want to play on our new map design, this will be your chance. We will be engaging in this stress test for a month and then there is a server wipe and a live deployment March.
In the OPP Server you can start as an industrial or as a syndicate specialist. Faction allegiance and bots are the next level on. We hope this helps you recognize that we also lament the loss of the official server, but there is hope.
Come be a part of that hope and give us your feedback.
