Perpetuum Online shutdown the official server well over a year ago and since that time the player community created an open-source development and server hosting project: Open Perpetuum Project.

It has been a year since we launched into a live persistent server for all to play, and are celebrating this occasion with gifts, events and updates

If they shutdown the server why is it still being sold on steam? Who gets the revenue here.... the Open Perpetuum community?

So is it only server enhancements that can be done to the game now or can the client be changed?

What is sold on steam is just the client - which is owned and distributed by AC (Avatar Creations) through their publisher. The client remains closed source. And purchases of the client go to them.

The server was open sourced, and that's what we work on and host for everyone to play, for free.
