feel free to play around but note I will be making massive changes soon and you will lose data so I would not spend hours
I, a designer, and a artist have joined forces to rewrite the game. I am adding factions, player owned land, farming, ect.. and making it Apocalyptic setting

Very nice! I always thought Browser Quest was a good base for expansion. Do you know what it is licensed under? Mozilla License?

looks to be MPL license
Which if I am reading it right means as long as I link the original source I can add my own code as a "plugin" that I do not have to release unless I want to and I can make commercial.

Can you run an animated MMO on free EC2? I have not really looked over the specs, bandwidth, etc. that you get for free.
