Lazarus Project



What is the Lazarus Project? Why such a pretentious title? Why do we need another Discord server? Why?

Lazarus Project was established as an initiative to foster a community dedicated to the preservation of online multiplayer video games. It serves as a central hub for video games that have fallen from grace, abandoned by their developers and most of their player base. This includes video games from AAA studios, indie developers and community-driven projects. We believe there are many players who engage with multiple abandoned games, which is where the Lazarus Project comes in. A place for every abandoned game where people can find others to play with, sustain it and perhaps save it from oblivion.

As a hub, Lazarus Project aims to connect every available dedicated abandoned game community. In every game specific channel you will be able to find its respective dedicated servers, groups and communities pinned for everyone to discover and access. This will foster more collaboration and ensure that no game is forgotten, no matter how small its current player base. We want to connect people with each community, help them discover new ones and sustain the dedicated ones that exist for years. We strive for networking among existing communities, decentralization of players and support of existing player bases.
Lazarus Project is a community effort, not anyone’s personal server or ownership, it belongs to all of us who care about the preservation of online multiplayer games. As our community grows there will be a need for moderators for each specific game channel, especially when specialized knowledge about a game can offer much more opportunities for preserving, sustaining and evolving each game community. Expanding on the community effort aspect, Lazarus Project is open to any idea that revolves around the preservation of online multiplayer video games, helps serve its mission and can be implemented by the community, such as hosting our own servers, community patches and fixes, revival efforts, etc. The project is flexible and can evolve in ways we might not even foresee yet.

We aim for Lazarus Project to be a non profit community, with no Patreon, donations, Discord Nitro, or any other form of monetary recompense, not now and not in the future. This is not a commercial company, or a for profit endeavor, this is a community made by gamers, for gamers, with a single goal, the preservation of online multiplayer video games.
As for how a game gets listed on the Lazarus Project, there are some basic criteria:

End of Life. Meaning that the official support from the developers has ended and any other change or progress to the game has to come from its community.

Low Player Base. The player number is dependent on each game, for example an FPS is considered abandoned when it can barely fill one or two servers with players, whereas an MMO could have hundreds of players but can still be considered abandoned since the scale and scope of each game is different.

Community Projects. Video games made entirely by a community from scratch, like open source games and any community projects that sustain, expand, revive, remake, or fix an abandoned game are welcome, no matter the player base or its developer support.

A game can meet one or more of these criteria to be included, and we’re always on the lookout for more to add.
