I've come to a point where I can't force progress, what worked in the past doesn't work anymore, it's been like this for a while, maybe the problem is approaching things quantitatively - if I stop trying to force progress, a natural flow of development could occur - or maybe my limited creative capacity has caught up and now its dragging things
The obvious solution was to open source the game, as pretty much every player wants to develop the game too. The right/hard way to do this was to re-write the entire backend codebase in NodeJS, as releasing it in Python 2.7 wouldn't help anyone - as Python is obsolete now. This approach, which I intend to do at one point, will allow anyone to create their own MMORPG and experiment with the genre in minutes
I think I'm going to build up to it and do things the easy way tho, open source the game as it is, see whether the game can progress creatively with a community effort - and if there's interest, then re-write the backend in NodeJS
