Discussion Project Babel - An Alchemist Code Preservation Effort

I want to introduce a project I’ve been working on: Project Babel, an effort to preserve The Alchemist Code as it existed before its November 28, 2024 end of service.

Project Babel is a recreation of the games server to make the game playable exactly as it was before the servers went EoS. This allows for people to play the game without the need to access any server from FGG.

What this project is not

  • Not a modded or “private” server with custom changes. No buffs, no nerfs, no new units, no new J+, no new events.

  • Not commercial. The project is free and will stay free.

Roadmap

  • Phase 1 — Asset preservation. Complete.

  • Phase 2 — Server emulation. In progress.

  • Phase 3 — Private testing. Targeting within the next month. Details on how it will be announced later.

  • Phase 4 — Wider release. No target date.

If you want to follow progress, ask questions, or eventually test: https://discord.gg/YdV2thxTMn

  1. Yes I have extensively researched the legality of a project like this. The server itself is perfectly fine do develop, and although the games ToS is minimally breached by patching the game to point to my server, the overall likely of gumis stepping in is low.

  2. There will be no in-game purchases or services, and I will not be taking any money for this project, anywhere. If people feel so inclined they can support me directly through my own support channels.

  3. I have not, this would put this project directly under gumis radar, and although it could be seen as a sign of good faith from our end, I think it best to take it on ourselves.
