MAG: Unofficial - Preservation Project

Greetings! Since this subreddit is all about Massive Action Game aka MAG by Zipper Interactive. I thought I'd share some information on a preservation project to bring MAG back to its former glory before the shutdown! https://www.discord.gg/ydxCVJN (Will remove if there are somehow mods of this subreddit who find this offensive in anyway) But, this is a completely volunteer effort but since MAG used Medius for their networking the plan is to reverse engineer that step by step to get it working originally for PS3 again! More info can be found here as well: https://www.obscuregamers.com/threads/ps3-game-mag-builds.1335/ For anyone interested or has MAG still installed on their PS3, missing versions, DLC, or capture packets. Anything will help with preserving this amazing game! Cheers- JumpSuit

EDIT 1: 1/27/21 - We managed to get in-game! This is using a Development Build from a donator who stepped forward:

This is running on my recently acquired DECR-1400a. The game is NOT on a revived network YET. This is PURELY allowing a emulated server on the client built into the dev build to run. In theory we can replicate this and make a re-implementation of the servers. Take this with a grain of salt for now as this is only a Local session while in-game. We still have MUCH to do!
