Earlier today it was announced thay Daybreak Entertainment would be shutting down it servers for the 2003 MMOFPS Planetside. This game is historic and was essentially the first game of its kind. It meant, and still means, a lot to a great many players.

As i'm sure many of the people who will read this are aware, there are two main software components to an MMO. The client program which allows players to connect to the games master server, and the Server Side Software which runs on those servers. In order for the client to function the server must be running. With the games master servers shutting down on the first of July, 2016 we would no longer be able to play this historic game.

We, the players of Planetside, ask that Daybreak Game Company, LLC release the software used on the servers so that we may run our own servers and continue to play a game that is very historic, and very important to the community.
