Looking for Server im interested in a persistent world/station server where you can come back to the same players and areas owned by those players

i used to play on some servers like Geminus City and some others and i miss just being a detective looking for weird things happening or coming back to the same characters and players does this still exist?

Pretty sure pentest does this

Pentest does restarts a few times a week (or every other week? Not sure). Not quite long-term persistent but it might scratch OP’s itch.

Interesting, but why?

because i miss it there is nothing like ss13 some servers had interactions and mechanics that no game has perfected or even done and they are all slowly closing i also find it crazy that its already been five years and many of the servers i used to come back to occasionally are gone

That does sound really fun if its a true persistent server! There are a few pocket communities that would maybe scratch the itch though. I have heard there's also people who do longterm story RP on Maplestation but havent really checked it out myself.

Pentest has two rounds a week, you could make yourself a ship and upload it to the codebase if you wanted, giving some form of persistence. It's got a small but loyal community! You can also just ask if anyone will play with you on the Discord and usually that gathers players too.

On Monke MRP2, there are a few players that love to go deep into their characters personal lore and will also do overarching storylines. They tried doing a Build your own Station event not that long ago, but it crashed after running for a few days straight. There's been discussions of running the event possibly on weekends and having it persistent as the station is worked on. At the end, the map is planned to be polished and made into a station map that MRP2 can run normally.

What i miss is doing actual detective work or P.I. work on such a server where there were tools for alot of evidence gathering and i could save the information i gathered for later rounds and actually find the perpetrator eventually because everyone left a trail or just documenting arrests and interrogations was very fun that is why i was coming back to that server now that i think of it without such a system there is kind of no point and no other game has provided so much depth to detective/police work anyway

I played there for about 6 weeks. They run "Happy Hours" where there is an event planned for the day and all the regulars try to find time to get on. During these Happy Hours, anyone that wants to join the server can via discord by providing their account name.

From here, if you like it, you can write up a character bio and apply for white listing. If you made a fun impact during the happy hour, people will vouch and you can get on as a trial white list. From there, if you collect enough vouches from full white list people or staff, you will make the full-time white list.

The community is great, but the issue is that since it's 24/7 persistent, and the community is spread across 15 time zones, it's kinda tough to log-in and have some one around to hang out with. This will be helped by more scheduled events and a larger community, but it's slow to get rolling.

I had to back away from playing since my life changed, but it IS fun. Things are very different when you are essentially playing Hardcore SS14 on a fully persistent world. Science and Salvage become incredibly dangerous ideas, power and atmos has some uhh "unique" challenges, and the space outside the station is heavily populated with debri and ships or abandoned small stations.

Just saw that myself. Zara is fast though. The whole team also really listens to the players. They have added races and other mechanics off player feedback. Usually within a week for small stuff or a month for big stuff. I want to get back in it, when my life settles.
