    We cant really know what would of happen to the concept. I have mixed feelings but i will leave the criticism for some other time and place.
    I doubt anyone else would have been able to keep it running, the state it was in. It was put live far too early due to the lovely people that ddosed the old game.

    Also, the game owed the devs some 200k back then, not surprising they kept going to try and recoup that.

    starting off in that position would make it hard to want to invest more in it. that makes sense.

    The devs have made a decision to kill competitive utopia and have thereby killed my interest with it.

    Ah they could invest more in it, its not like the game is a massive money pit or anything - a bit of investment would be fairly easily recouped I'd say. The problem uto faces is fairly simple. The devs have a few project they work on, they picked the one with the most potential to earn big money and that wasn't us. We did get a fair bit of dev work a while back, but it just wasn't converting into profits.

    Which makes perfect sense.

    But then again, I don't understand why they don't licesne development. So its not investment from them....

    Who is going to train in the new coder? It would take about 6 months on site to get up to speed. That's the big barrier to the community helping out with coding in a meaningful way.

    IMO if they loved the game enough this would not be out of the question... assuming we had the correct volunteer. I do, however, understand why they may not want to waste their time on a situation that could lead to years finding someone who does not flake out. Do we know of a volunteer worth investing 6 months in?

    If he was up for it I would guess munk or perhaps stinger or perhaps one of the other tool coders. I don't know that I am competent to judge anyone's talents as coders though so I won't stretch much beyond that.
