Have you ever thought about releasing the code for Age of Time? The game had so much potential I think if you passed the reins someone could pick it up and really take off with it. I would love to see a revival of this game.

Badspot can't release the source code of Age Of Time. This is against the rules of GarageGames since Torque Game Engine is not a free open source platform, if I'm correct.
What Badspot should do is bring back the Host and Join Servers back in Age Of Time. Imagine all the custom maps and add-ons that can be made for the game.
It's an oddly comfy feeling walking around this game's world as the only one online, playing through it just as players would have fourteen years ago. Even more interesting is reading through old forum posts from 2006-2008 as what's become the game's lore, visiting forgotten locations and learning about old groups of players. I wish I could have been a part of this game's community in its creation, but instead I get to enjoy it as something completely different- a virtual fossil lost to time, somehow still clinging to existence. Is there a reason you still keep its ghost server running over a decade since last updating it?
The server runs on a VPS instance that I need for other purposes, so putting AoT on it as well doesn't really cost anything. A few years ago I set it up to automatically restart once a week and I haven't checked on it since.
No idea why I started playing this back in 2006/7/8/whenever it was, but I remember completing that grappling hook challenge tower and getting in trouble with the law for being naked for 0.4 seconds. I'm stunned it's still here (sort of).
I played Age of Time a good deal when I was 10-11 in 2005, my friend had the username Halofreak and cause you to wipe the server due to using a gold duping exploit. I miss this game and consider it a part of my childhood, and still hop in once in a while. Any thoughts of releasing the source code, or even better, reviving this hidden gem of an mmorpg?
