as you might have noticed, C4F was moved to a new server.
It was initiated by Luques suggesting to (officially) hand over the responsibility and ownership of C4F to someone else. As the previous Strato server was pretty expensive (around 600 Euro per year) and C4F licenses were not implemented in the current C4F version (aka "React") to cover the costs, we decided to move to a different server (virtual Linux server hosted by IONOS), which until now seems to work perfectly fine at much lower cost of around 80 Euro per year (I'm also using that server for some private stuff).
With that server move now also the ownership of the game officially changed. However, I don't wanna change the way the game is run right now:
- the game is free of charge and there are no plans to change that
- the game is a fully private matter without any commercial interests
- if anybody wants to support the game e.g. for marketing or sharing the server costs, let me know. The server costs however are so low now that I'll take them over for now
- the community continues to play the same large role it's doing now, e.g. for designing races, calendar planning, fairplay committee, nations committee, etc.
- further development is done when time allows it or more people find the time to help with development (thanks to all who already tried to find the time, I know it's hard
)
