There is a game called Freelancer which is sort of similar for LAN play.
Why would anyone want to play EVE Online offline/private server?
The whole point of it is the community and it's player-driven economy.
That Jennifer software. Are there more like it? Seems it is an precursor for Serverlog or that they are built on the same engine. Would love to see more tolls like that/versions of that tool.
Edit: Ps. I got Apocrypha up and running on private server, jsut wondering why there isn't any information on private Eve servers around on the forum. It is easy to use, and could attract "costumers" ^^ So for information on setting up the server etc, could write me an PM.
