‘StarPeace’
[PC] [UK] [MAGAZINE] [2000]
StarPeace is an open-ended online city-building computer game, in which thousands of players build and develop a large inhabitable world. Similar in many ways to SimCity 4, one major difference being StarPeace is fully online, and players compete against each other to build industrial, residential, retail markets, and more on a single planet, making sure to gain a steady income in which to fund their future expansion. Similar to other Sim games, there is no definite end. The planet continues to grow in a continuously evolving state as each player adds more buildings to it. Each player can choose between a large selection of planets on which to play.
A player-run server using original client and source code named StarPeace Online has been available with free and sponsored game-play as of June 2018, though free worlds are prone to unavailability (broken as of July 2018).
An open-source community-supported version was founded in May 2018. This version, named STARPEACE, is being created from the ground-up and is under active development as of July 2018. ~Wikipedia
