lot of problems managing the game on their own servers, and making the necessary changes to the client. In 2003, the game (and the website, and server access) shut down. After a year, in April 2004, three fans approached Oceanus Communications (the original developer and owner) asking for permission to rerelease StarPeace. The revival was short-lived. Sequel StarPeace 2 is heavily based on the original StarPeace game, with the major difference being that the building and product types have been split up. Community Versions A player-run server using original client and source code named StarPeace Online has been available with free and sponsored game-play as of June 2018, though free worlds are prone to unavailability (broken as of July 2018). An open-source community-supported version was founded in May 2018. This version, named STARPEACE, is being created from the ground-up and is under active development as of July 2018. Reception Several online sources reviewed Starpeace favorably but also indicated that it was a complex game and a large learning curve.
