The Expanse has been open to the public since 2011. Over the years, more and more content has been added, improved upon and recreated. Of the content that originally came from the RunUO/ServUO community, all of it has been customized for The Expanse. Starting with an OSI-base, over 285 custom systems have been added to enhance gameplay, not cripple it. The custom client is required to fully enjoy everything The Expanse has to offer. In addition to a custom client, The Expanse offers full forum support (including tons of FAQs), a zoommable Treasure Hunter's map on the website, and our very own online and in-game Bestiary! The Expanse website contains vast amounts of data, including screenshots and general information about content that is available. You have to play it to believe it!
EDIT: 5-1-2017
The Expanse will be offline for an undetermined amount of time, until a new hosting solution can be found. Development will continue on The Expanse Desktop, and updates will be published via: The Expanse forums (The Expanse website and all contents will remain online), @Raist77 Facebook page, and @Raist_TE on Twitter.
