OrbusVR Sunset Announcement

I originally edited my first sunset announcement post, but in case you missed it I copy/pasted it below for more visibility:

We have received many questions about the future of OrbusVR in the past week. This was a very tough decision from the start, however I just wanted to confirm that the servers will not be online past April 6th, 2025. We greatly appreciate everyone that has contacted us and offered support. We want to encourage everyone to support the next generation of VRMMO’s along their journey like you always supported us through ours.

We’ve also received questions about open sourcing the game. There are several legal considerations we must work through to figure out if that is even possible or not. We are starting that process internally, and will update you all when we know more. Please keep in mind this will be a lengthy process.

With that being said we are hoping to release a few select 3d models (made by us in-house) to the community for recreational purposes like 3d prints (dragons, weapons). This is not set in stone yet, but we hope to have more information soon.

We have had a great run of over 8 years with the game, building the best VR community alongside the first VRMMO. While it deeply saddens us to see such a large part of our lives come to an end, we couldn’t be happier with what we have accomplished. We are so proud of the people we worked with, the players we have met, and the memories from working on and playing this game. If you are a player currently playing, or returning after a break, please come help us celebrate with the farewell events coming up.
