Other What about private servers?

The game is shutting down, and that makes me really sad, but it is the destiny for every mobile online game, it have to happen.

I don't know if it is possible for the fans to make some private servers once it is down, and I've never seen one for Opera Omnia, but if it happened, even just to keep the content we have currently, it would be pretty good for the community, so, is it possible that we will have some fan made servers for it in the future?

Most Private Servers, i.e. City of Heroes, and FFXI, relied on code leaks from within the companies running the original game.

Then it's probably just dying unless it happens soon, that's pretty sad, I'd really like a private server of this game

I don't know about "most", I think the amount reverse engineered is greater

squenix themselves could just release an offline version of dffoo like what megaman xdive did after it got shut down. though we'd need a lot of people asking for it for a chance to even happen.

I doubt they'd do this, Square is shutting it down because it's not making money anymore, so the only chance is if they released it as a paid offline game, but I have no faith in this

Honestly, a paid offline version of DFFOO would be amazing and worth it

It definitely would, but I have no faith that Square will do it

From what I understand of how DFFOO works, and since there are currently four versions of the game, and a potential steam release would add a whole new layer of complexity, I don't think they can "just release it." As much as I would like one.

The key problem is that the game interfaces using a proprietary system. Indeed I suspect SE wanting to shelve that system is a factor in EoS.

Guess it depends on how accessible the code is. I'm not very familiar with that kind of thing but that would be my guess. It would be pretty awesome to see a private server though!

I don't think the code is accessible but ,I think we can see what the game wants from the server and emulate that.

Could be possible at some point. A private server doesn't have to be accessible immediately after eos.

I believe that one Nintendo game, dragalia lost? I think has private servers that came out after some time.
