Quest for the 'Nimbus' MMO

So, back in '05, there was this MMO called 'Nimbus'. It never got past beta and just vanished one day. The devs went under; their site is gone. The game had this weird mix of steampunk and fantasy, and I haven't seen anything else like it. Some forums mentioned a possible test server still running, but nobody's found any real proof. It’s like a digital ghost town now, but I'm dedicated to finding it. Anyone else got clues?

Used to play Nimbus during beta! It was such a gem, shame it vanished. God, if you find anything, please let us old fans know. The music was epic, and the airship battles! If my old HDD was still alive, I'd have something. :(

Really intrigued by the notion of Nimbus still being out there. Here's a strategy: start cataloging anything you can find. Old forums, mentions in gaming magazines, anything. You might track down someone with a copy of the installation files. I'll keep an eye out on my end; love a good digital archaeology project!

Not to be a downer, but are you sure it's worth the hunt? Vaporware and dead MMOs are hard to revive, even if you found it.

Nimbus, eh? Remember the hype. Games come n go, this one's a deep cut though. Heard some whispers of private servers years back, never saw proof. It's a long shot. Maybe hit up gaming cons, network with vintage MMO fans.

Tried Wayback Machine for the old site? Sometimes there are nuggets in there, forum posts or obscure links that might lead somewhere. Also, can we get a thread going to collect usernames of former players? They might have screenshots or files stashed away.

Ah, Nimbus, the one MMO that got away, right? Big into the steampunk scene myself. Some say there was a legal issue that got it yanked, code got tied up in proceedings. Gonna take some serious digging to find a lead on that test server, if it exists. Maybe some of the old devs are around? Try LinkedIn?
