DAON began with one modded server and a Discord call that ran past midnight. Nobody planned it. We just didn't want to log off.
Before that, we'd watched good servers go dark. Some sold everything, some wore out the few people keeping them alive, and some were simply forgotten until the bill went unpaid. Each time, a place people loved was gone overnight.
So we kept ours plain. Nothing for sale. We wrote our own plugins and restarted crashed servers at three in the morning, because someone was always still playing.
No one found us through an ad. Friends brought friends.
Years later, the lights are still on.
We'll keep them on. Stay as long as you like.
See you in-game.
