After slightly over a year of up-time, I have decided to retire CUO because of lack of interest. It has been months since anyone has logged in, and even when the game was relatively new the average player connected for only 10 minutes and never returned. Perhaps releasing the game in its Alpha phase was a mistake…I understand that the game was considered unplayable by some because it suffered from a number of glitches, but almost no one reported bugs, suggestions, or feedback and I was often unaware of major problems. I haven’t decided whether I’ll attempt to polish the game and release it in a better shape, or just upload the entire project to a public repository and be done with it. Either way, the server will go dark on December 1st for the foreseeable future. Thanks to those of you who gave the game a try and offered encouragement along the way.
