Character Gallery gone?

[Hunterwolf165]

I keep trying to use character gallery to use custom characters. I even went on the website and i cant see the community character gallery on the website, so did they remove the custom character downloads?

Servers were shut down a year ago. So yeah that feature is gone.

Because servers cost money. Continual amounts of money. You have to keep paying regularly to keep servers online. Is there some part of this you're not understanding?

The users of the character gallery decreased a lot with the years anyways; Volition had hard moments and tight budgets, so they decided to shut it down

damn i mainly used it to bring clothes that werent in the game there were some clothes in the creator that werent in the game

to be fair it isn't that costly to keep a server like this up, but ya it's gone forever

ok

They should have used the Steam servers or just made it an offline character save, like be able to save your character to your own disk. One would think the upkeep of a service like that would be not worth it after a while.
