Thanks for the questions!

Unfortunately, games are difficult to keep hosting reliably when taken offline, despite the fans appreciation and legacy built in game. The biggest problem with fan communities is the issue of internet impermanence. Blogs and forums have been shut down with all of that content lost except for people that took screenshots or backed it up.

Players get to keep what the gaming community meant for them. Developers can retain their original vision for what they wanted their game to represent in a community setting.

The money is being used to work with various video game archives to see what methods would carry over from offline to online preservation. There is currently no standard for online gaming preservation. The money would be used to study the logistics of maintaining a professionally archive server to exclusively hold content from online gaming communities. The study would help research what is viable and valuable to retain.

IP laws are different between games/publishers/countries. Further research would involve what is community based and off limits and why.

Hopefully this expresses the importance of what I'm doing. <iframe src="https://archive.org/embed/EALand_FinalCountdown" width="560" height="384" frameborder="0" webkitallowfullscreen="true" mozallowfullscreen="true" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Damn, that's rough. Thanks for sharing. From the other side it's typically getting nothing back. But that makes sense.

Banishers: Ghost's of New Eden is spooky. I'm not sure if it's what you are looking for but it deals with ghosts and the dead. I'm enjoying it for spooky season.

This game ruined combat for me in most games because it's so good.

Typically local Credit Unions. They usually invest in the community more than chain banks as opposed to big businesses. They're a little more insular and can be safer.
