Wow, not much else to add except my thanks to the devs. the game/test is far more fun to play than anything else i've done in years. the only question i have to ask is

how much does it cost to keep the server running?

even if you all have to go get real jobs <yech!!!> would charging those of us that play now a small fee (5-10 a month per player?) be enough to keep the server and the game as it is running? maybe you could work on the game during your free time from real work? I've said it before and i'll say it again, even in an unfinished state this game is far better than many "finished" products i've paid money for.

obviously you have to do whats best for yourselves and your families, so no matter what you decide, thank you for a great year and a half, and the best of luck to all of you.
