Don’t worry, Torch. It’s a wild meme.
Humans vs Zombies is dead and Spade Wars is dead. The only populated arena server is ArenaCS.
AoS is dead for me.
True, alongside with Blockpower and all other servers aside from Top 10/All Maps and Assault.
At least we have around twice as many players over Jagex’s AoS. 
Eh, you are right.
Most of the time Jagex has 0 players on their aos.
I don’t understand why they are giving away the copyrights yet, they’re just wasting money on hosting servers for 0 players for most of the time
Why give it away when they can possibly sell it? Even if it won’t be sold for a lot, I don’t see why Jagex would give it away for free when they can sell it for some quick bucks to at least cover the overhead costs from running the game.
Even if that’s the reason, why aren’t they selling it? (Correct me if I’m wrong but afaik, JAGEX doesn’t want to sell the copyrights).
Even if it was to be sold, the game is too butchered to go back to what the original intentions were, unless someone who played the old AoS is now rolling in money.
I’m sorry but mind if I ask what the old intentions for AoS’s future were? I’ve seen people commenting across steam and on certain YouTube videos saying that “Openspades is how Aos was said to be made, not like the 1.0 steam version.”
Nowadays people are leaving the community not because of the repetitive-ness(?) of this game but rather the amount of hackers playing, if we can gain the copyright, we can publish a new Voxlap version which actually fixes a ton of bugs/glitches and also alters a bit of the code which will make these dll hacks useless.
Okay so after reading all this, the first question that comes to your mind is “what will you do about the past Voxlap clients which can enter the server?” Ans. We can add a command into the new updated client and when that client will connect to a server, the server itself will look if that “ticket” is present, if it is, connected, if it isn’t, kicked.
Atleast this way, we will be reducing a large number of hackers who use the Voxlap client. And hopefully we will start promoting this game IF people stop talking about how this game is dead and there is 0 fucking hope on making it revive again.
The reason people are leaving is because the game isn’t being updated/supported. The original intentions from what I recall, were for the client to be moved to OpenGL, add a deployable machine gun, RPG, and a GUI.
The fact is that I doubt anybody, especially mat^2, will be motivated to come back to this game as there won’t be any profit in it anymore, not after Jagex soiled their take on the game. I’m sure Ben has moved on to better projects or just cashed his check and moved on with life too. It would be a nice dream to have the game go back to what it was, but it’s better to think realistically.
Don’t forget about the helicopter!
I don’t think the heli was gonna be ready for 1.0. Maybe I’m forgetting…
Fair enough, I have a copy of his open-gl game still on my onedrive 
If Openspades wasn’t taken down due to copyright then shouldn’t we spread his OpenGL version without having to worry about copyright
Well, I remember seeing demos and I think it was planned, but then again… a lot of things were planned for 1.0 that didn’t happen. q-q
No idea, can you run a server on it? Also where did you obtain the copy?
Buildandshoot has it. More specifically, StackOverflow. Also give that to BR and Topo so they can do something to it.
I’m under the assumption Stack can’t distribute it under a NDA, if that’s still in effect.
So it’s not safe for me to send the file to topo?
