The Mana World Forums

The big difference is that TMW is free open source software and because it is developed under the GNU General Public License it will always stay that way.

Should we ever become greedy and charge for the official server you can just create your own free server. All the software and content files you need can be found online.

Phew, that's a relief! Good to know this game will always stay free.

The Mana World is made by volunteers , so we don't have to pay anyone , also website (which just costs really little , domains are cheap nowadays) is payed with donations from generous players , same goes for the server , there was a donations for new hard drives not so long ago , so as long as we have people that love this game and are generous enough there isnt a need to make payment compulsory

I Hope Newbies will become not newbies one day , we have all been newbies
but i agree that most of the importat people in TMW , are a always the sameones and are known and famous all over the comunnity , i hope we never become a large game , so we can keep the familiar atmosphere

If I ever do make my own server, I promise I will keep it free.
Of course, if it proved so popular I had 1,000 members in a day... I might be tempted...
