Comment on Amazon MMO New World Has Just a Year to Live, Rust Dev Offers to Buy It - IGN
iamthetot@piefed.ca 21 hours agoI’m confused by what you’re looking for. You responded originally to a comment referring to community servers. Now you’re saying in an “official capacity”. I’m confused.

Survival games like Rust often offer, as an officially supported feature of the game, the server code for you to run your own. When a World of WarCraft community server is run, it’s against Blizzard’s wishes and terms of service, and when they find out about it, it gets shut down, because Blizzard only wants you to play that game on Blizzard’s servers. I’m asking if any other MMORPGs offer community servers as an official feature the way that most survival games do, because it would be the first I’ve heard of it.
