New Central Server
Hello there!
We have recently purchased a new central server, this new server is much more powerful than our previous one. We have upgraded the server to improve overall connection to servers and increase the player count in preparation for MP2. The server should be fully functioning within the coming days, we don't expect any downtime however if we do run into issues we apologize.
SCP-173's Model and Future Game Monetization
Recently we've been teasing you with a big change we're implementing in one of the next updates and a huge part of the community realized that we're planning to change the SCP-173 model. We've seen a lot of misconceptions and rumors related to that topic, so we'd like to explain the situation.
First things first, don't worry - the game will remain free and we are only changing the model because of legal issues. The appearance of SCP-173 is copyrighted and the original author is hard to reach. This is the exact reason why nearly all SCP games are changing it. We understand your attachment to the current model, but the law is the law - we don't want our game to be taken down, do we?
The other rumor was related to microtransactions. SCP:SL development is expensive, and that's not because we're hungry for money. The more solutions and professional software we use - the higher the costs. We want the future updates to be kept on the highest quality we can afford. Many games have started their crowdfunding sites, including ourselves. We currently have a Patreon page which is enough to cover most of our costs and keep the development going. We'd also like to grow, thus we are trying to stash some money away for a rainy day, or to make more projects in the future. Making a multiplayer game is a difficult task, and the majority of the staff works voluntarily. We are definitely not adding microtransactions in the next update, but we do believe in your understanding, that it might be needed in the future. We'd also like to add, that the new SCP-173 model was planned a long time before we ever thought about monetizing the game - these are two independent things. We want this system to not be invasive and to not affect the gameplay in any possible way, so we need to be very careful in terms of adding cosmetic items. We are making multiple discussions with our patrons and the rest of the community more and more often, so we'll be sure that everyone is satisfied with it.
Thanks for understanding
