The Vanderlin SS13 server really looks amazing. Can't wait till the next playlist is up so that I can play as a graveyard keeper again. MonkeStation really did an amazing job on this so far.

Fun fact about Vanderlin and the history of it's code while it was used in older servers like Blackstone. All the medieval code was just placed on top of the TG code without removing any of it. The game was constantly trying to land the shuttle when it didn't exist lol. It's why the Blackstone server was probably having issues with performance.
Some of the coders for vanderlin were talking about all that yesterday on the MonkeStation discord.
Really can't wait till the server is up again. Going to definitely post a link to it here later when they have it up again.
Never heard of this game before, but it looks really cool. Gonna have to give it a shot and see what is all about.
It's worth trying. Do know that the controls are very weird at the start. It's very easy to get overwhelmed at the and give up when not understanding the game. Once you get past that obstacle, the game opens up so much
If you want to see more about the game then watch this review of it. It explains the game well and gives a good overview of it all.
MonkeStation is one of the more populated servers and I think a good one to start on. Picking a role like assistant or janitor might be the best as you'll have less or no responsibility during the rounds. As a janitor you'll have access to more of the station and will get the layout memorized after a few rounds since y'all be going around cleaning up blood/gore a ton lol.
As someone from nowhere relevant to this, game? What are you on about? Is this an MMO? Is it browser based?
I've never played but it looked interesting to me so I did some research. All of this is open to fact checks.
It's a sandbox game where you're on a space station* an have some specific job to do, to keep the station running (or sometimes, to cause a little chaos for other players to deal with). Some people are security, some are engineers, some are medical officers, some are cooks, all (or most) are trying to keep the station going. Sometimes they're an additional overarching goal, but usually it's just "survive the treacherous space climate".
It's not really an MMO because it's pretty small. "Massive" doesn't really apply. And it doesn't fit most tropes you'd associate with MMOs. There's not really a persistent world, the game happens in rounds rather than an always-on server. It seems kind of like Among Us meets Dwarf Fortress.
*The code is "semi open source" (read: got hacked and leaked a couple of times) so there are a many modded servers as vanilla (there seems to be some debate over what "vanilla" even means for this game). So they aren't always on a space station, but typically about maintaining SOME kind of colony.
That's a good synopsis of the game. Nothing wrong that I notice. Glad it doesn't have persistent world as the station is normally destroyed by the end of the round lol.
Players can also be picked to be an antagonist for the round. It'll be something like a traitor who has to kill other players or steal a specific item. You can also get picked for something else like a cultist that has to secretly/forcibly convert the rest of the station before they get caught. Or you can just straight up be a xenomorph and relive the alien franchise by making more of you out of the stations workers lol.
No two rounds are alike.
Space Station 13 is a free online game where dozens of players pick a role on a space station and they must perform their duties till a shuttle comes to take the survivors "home" so the round ends. Here is a video review of it that explains it well.
The roles/jobs you can pick are things like chef/botanist/security/science/medical/Clown.
It's a really great game that is over 20 years old now. It's run on a program called Byond that is used to make user games. You'll just need to install that program to run SS13 and then have an account on the site.
That's all just the basic space station 13 information I had to explain before what this server is. People decided to code over one of the SS13 servers to make it a medieval game instead. You'll be able to now be things like a king/queen/guard/mercenary/begger/tavern keeper/graveyard keeper/Jester
In the video I am walking towards a rotten corpse to bring it to the graveyard to burry. I jokingly say it smelled nice to the other player and they emoted the "gag" sound.
Hope I explained it well! It's one of my favorite games.
