I've gotten to the point where I realize, after the time and reading certain information, that I won't be able to continue with Another World due to the creators of the engine taking their servers offline, removing my ability to use their product as the license has to clear through their server for it to run properly. The website has been offline for a decent amount of time, and many of my finds through google point to the idea that they are gone for good. Without them, AW is just dead code.

I spent countless hours upon days upon weeks working on this, and I'm now accepting that it seems the site will not be returning. Proof stands in many ways, to include the site being offline for almost 2 weeks, the creator logging into the vBulletin website but not posting any information, despite the numerous topics questioning the return of the site, and the fact that some of the coders on their team have recently quit.

Sucks, huh?

So, I'm stuck now, $60 poorer with no product to show for it. I'll probably end up removing AW completely tonight, as it's not worth the extra load on the server having it sit there. It took alot to say I'm sorry on this after all the hype I gave for it. It would have been alot of fun.

Where does that leave AW? Open. Despite the wasted time, if someone finds an alternative, be it a forum RPG or a web RPG that I can recreate to connect to SP, I'll consider it. I leave that open to those here. Maybe something exists and I just dont know about it. I'd consider all alternatives, but that doesn't guarantee 100% that I'll start back up if I have to sacrifice alot of the RPG just to accomplish this.

So, the Chinchilla King is sleeping and I'm putting up my creative hat for now. If anything comes about, I'll wake him up and we'll go back to work. Again, I'm sorry...
