Let me share the bigger picture here. Here's an example scenario

The game is no longer receiving content updates. Self-hosted servers have been implemented.

Modders have picked up the game, applying mods on their servers so people can join and have an entirely new experience.

Right now we have bots which can do quite a lot of things, but they'd pale in comparison to genuine mods. Imagine stuff like custom items, areas, enemies, moderator tools, skills, and so much more—all with custom assets. I genuinely can't list it all.

Self-hosted servers would also allow for a less laggy experience and should technically lessen your expenses, right?

A Township Tale is a one-of-a-kind game. The potential for such a game is literally limitless. ATT could thrive for so much longer if this happened. Take a look at FiveM -- A community of modders came together to create an entirely new game / experience. Imagine the potential with a game like ATT, an open-world adventure game full of activities and things to uncover.

You wouldn't even have to provide a modding API. As it stands, The game is super organized and pretty easy to understand as a project. It took me at most a day or two to understand what I wanted to do. I was just limited by the dedicated servers you guys host.

Please. This is all I ask of you guys. Self-hosted servers would be a game changer. It's not even funny. There are so many talented people working on bots currently. I would love to see what everyone could collectively come up with.
