In the past few days, there's a lot of off-topic discussion going on in this forum, especially after a few responses. Please keep discussion on-topic to 8BitMMO related discussion.
If you would like to talk about other things, the General Forums are perfect for that

Many people have said the game is dying or is dead or have asked if that is the case.
I have spoken to the games developer and as it stands there are no updates planned in the near or far future. The game WILL stay up and running and be maintained as it currently is but do not expect any further updates. He didn't say there will NEVER be any more out right but definitely don't expect there to be any.
All I can suggest is to keep playing as you normally have been. As stated above the game will remain up and running. There is still plenty of open land on map 66 and in the south half of map 68.
UPDATE:
There are no plans for a wheneverbit this year. Sim did not say there wouldn't be one out right it is still possible that there could be one just DO NOT expect there to be one.
UPDATE:
Autocap has been spotted. For those who don't know. Autocap is a bot that Sim uses to update the world map. It takes a long time to do but eventually we should get a world map update.
UPDATE:
World map is updated. Although sadly it bugged out for map 68 so that is still not shown.
Do not know if this is going to be fixed. Might have to wait till next run.

So I know the "building out of your factory" bug is known. But it's actually quite amusing.

For some unknown reason my computer blue-screened and, after booting up, HexChat crashed on launch. So I figured I should do a tutorial as I got it reinstalled. If people enjoy this I can add to it with more settings to make HexChat feel more like qwebirc, the web browser client you can find on the 8bitMMO website.
You can find the HexChat website with a quick Google search. Follow all of the steps for the download and install. I suggest ignoring the options for Python scripts unless you know what you're doing (I don't).
This is the window you'll first see when launching HexChat. It'll automatically enter your Windows username as the Nickname and modify it slightly for your second and third choices. You can set these to whatever you wish. The second and third choices are what will automatically be set as your nick if your first choice is taken. I suggest you use a nickname that is not protected by Nickserv as your second choice if you want to use auto-reconnect and auto-connect commands.
Once your username and nicknames are set up you can click the add button to create a new network. You can name this to whatever you want. Click edit to begin configuring this network.
To set the server address replace "newserver" with "irc.editingarchive.com". Leave the /6667. As you'll probably notice when trying to edit this, you need to press enter any time you modify something on this window or it will be reset.
Modifying the log in method can cause problems with auto-reconnect as, in my experience, it enters the information too quickly. It is, however, great if you don't plan to leave HexChat idle 24/7. The same is true for the auto-join channels. It will join those channels faster than you can get an invite from ChanServ, causing issues with protected channels. If you don't need to identify with NickServ or get an invite, they are great for a quick connection.
If you do plan on sitting idle 24/7 and maybe logging chat, you'll want to use connect commands. The commands I use are below. Before that I want to explain the TIMER command. I believe this is a command only for the HexChat client but I am most likely wrong. The TIMER command is used as "TIMER <seconds to wait> COMMAND". I use these to both compensate for any lag and to ensure that enough time for invites is given.
GHOST Toxic <password>
GHOST Toxic_Archive <password>
TIMER 10 NICK Toxic
TIMER 15 MSG NICKSERV IDENTIFY <password>
TIMER 20 JOIN #moi,#8bit,#8bit-gamewatch,#8bit-gamewatch-serv4
TIMER 22 AWAY Auto-connect
With all of this you can connect to the server and begin personalizing HexChat. Though I didn't want to make this about customizing your client until I got feedback, I feel the default settings are too different from the web browser client. To make it feel more like qwebirc you can click View and enable the userlist buttons. I suggest going through Settings > Preferences > Interface and setting the "channel switcher" to tabs and having it display at the top of the window. You may also notice that you won't get any alert beeps from people saying your nickname. You'll need to go into the sounds tab and add a sound from your computer for Channel Message HIghlight and Channel Action Highlight. I'll try to find the files for the qwebirc beeps to share as attachments.
EDIT: I was incorrect on the TIMER command. You do not need to have a slash before the command you wish to execute. That part of the tutorial has been removed.

Get next to the player and say /trade GENERICUSERNAME
To lower the value (amount) of object click and hold the object and press /
Then drag it into the top box which is yours.
To lower the value without completely starting over, get the value closest to the exact value, put it in the box, then pick it back up and take away as many as you need.
For example: I want to give Grim 5600 gold, My gold gets closest to 6000, So, I put in 6k in the box. Then I click and hold on it and half ( / ) it down to 600. Then I place the 600 (while still holding onto the gold) in my inventory.
Do this the same if you have more (extra) gold, too. Just vice versa, place the gold in the box instead of your inventory.

Q: Can I stream / YouTube this game?
You may post monetized videos of this game to YouTube / Twitch.tv
Q: I have an AZERTY keyboard or otherwise want to change the keybinds
When starting the game via AESU, check 'File > Show Resolution Options on Launch' then launch the game. On the input tab, you will be able to adjust the keys.
Q: I get a crash immediately after the Unity logo, no output log is shown
Disable antivirus (in particular Avast).
Q: Aesu.exe is not a valid Win32 executable
Sorry, Windows XP is not supported at this time.
Q: How do I set up AESU to use a proxy
Follow these steps.
Q: How do I run MOI on Linux / Linux FAQ?
Please see the MOI on Linux page
Q: On OSX, I clicked Launch but nothing happened
A: Check to see if a settings window popped up behind the AESU window after you clicked Launch.
Q: I am running on OSX and the screen appears corrupted in windowed mode
Try running in fullscreen mode and see if that fixes the issue
Q: I get a crash right away on OSX
Try different rendering settings, in particular, try 'Fantastic' quality.
Q: I closed March of Industry, but Steam thinks it is still running.
First, make sure both the game and launcher are closed.
Second, try opening task manager and close any instances of 'AESU.exe' or 'MarchOfIndustry.exe'.
Finally, if Steam still thinks the game is running, then unfortunately you've hit a rare bug in Steam itself. Try a reboot. We hit this issue once, and after a reboot this bug seems to fix itself and Steam properly recognizes when the game & launcher closes.
Q: I bought March of Industry on your site for $9.99, but why is there an additional $1 charge?
This is not an actual charge. Our payment processor attempts to validate the card by placing a momentary $0 hold, or for a small number of banks that do not allow a $0 hold, then a $1 hold. This hold is immediately released by our processor, but unfortunately a few banks don't remove it immediately.
Please rest assured that your bank will remove it -- on some banks this is instant, but in rare situations for a small number of slow banks, it can take as much as a few weeks. If it hasn't already been reversed, most likely it will be within the next few days. We apologize for this inconvenience!
Q: The launcher downloads the game fine, but when start the game, I get this error:
error communicating with server please double check to see if have any firewalls or internet safety filters enabled Error: proxy CONNECT aborted
These steps over at the Robocraft forums also fixed this error for at least one MOI player.
PLEASE NOTE: SOME PROGRAMS OR DRIVERS OVERWRITE YOUR PROXY BEHAVIOUR CAUSING YOUR PROXY SETTINGS TO REVERT BACK TO THEIR PREFERRED VALUES. BE SURE TO DISABLE PROGRAMS/DRIVERS THAT DO THIS.
————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————–
Manually disabling the use of a proxy:
. In the search box, type Internet Explorer, and then, in the list of results, click Internet Explorer.)————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————–
Or disable the proxy settings using the regedit (for the more technical users):

Q: I found a bug!
Please report it on this forum or on the bug tracker.
Q: I have a different problem with the game
Please make a post on this forum with as much information as possible.
Q: I have a billing question
You may open a support ticket here for questions which are not appropriate to post publicly. For general game questions, suggestions, technical troubleshooting, etc -- please use the forums instead. You will get a response faster because the community can respond more quickly than a single dev can (also, they know more than I do, heh)

we all know that steak is munny
but what im bout to say ain't that funny
now im sure uve been to the zoo
grinding it up, yes i know you do
but have u ever wondered why they call it "farming"
now im starting to talk and its getting alarming
the act we call farming is just like its name
the mobs that we kill are actually game
they get packaged in box tech
and get sent to who knows heck.
the slice em and dice em
till they look real nice (em)
and thats how we get steak
now lets break
this cruel system, it's pretty overrate
nearly more cruel then setks "rewardblock in fee door room" sign's bait
but if you must eat your steak
make sure to wash it in a lake
cuz who knows where its been
don't eat if its green
#steakmunny
so i made a comic about zooty sneaky sneakers, dank clan, regius sapphirus and legobox. enjoy

My recent build, you can see it if you go to 4,40,24:-25,103=68. Sorry for the /loc, having some inconvenience with gold. And I haven't started the interior.

I finished a 3D Applejack from My Little Pony 
I built it in the wilderness in Map =66 near this lighthouse I built earlier 
Applejack was pretty much meant to be viewed in 9bit, so it doesn't look great in 8bit (not sure it does in 9bit either), and the lighthouse spiral pattern is flawed at the back, which will only really be noticeable in 9bit.
On a side note, the lighthouse made me realize there are region limits, I had designed it taller, but I shrunk it coincidently to close to the maximum height to display on the Megamap (I think), also, there is not much of an interior, since I had to remove it to save space.
P.S. If anyone wants to see them, I think they are both around region 69,96=66. Oh, and sorry to post immediately after myself. ^-^

Been playing around with lighting. This kind of looks like a day/night cycle in the 8bit world:
Using this type of 'texture pack' a script for such a thing could probably be written. I have a feeling every time there needed to be a swap of 'texture packs' you'd have to reset the server (or at least your current session) though. That would be the main issue.
