It’s been 7 years since we at Anime Toshokan have reported on anything regarding the Ai Sp@ce private server project that was spear-headed by Dango. Since then, Dango has given up on the project, and it was stalled ever since then. This was mostly Dango not having the knowledge nor help needed for things that was out of his expertise due to the files for Ai Sp@ce being encrypted. Since then, our Discord server channel for the project died out and was on the verge of being archived.
This has all changed as the project has a new group of people who have taken the challenge of attempting to make a private server for the defunct social MMO game which never saw the light of day outside of Japan. The project is now headed by an only a handful of volunteers that have been working on this actively for about 2 to 3 years now. The Ai Sp@ce private server project is now called the Ai Sp@ce Emulation Project. Everything about this project is open-sourced so anyone can use the files to help bring the game further into being fully functional as a private server.
We at Anime Toshokan would like to thank everyone involved in this and we hope that this project is seen to completion. A video has been provided below showing that the server is indeed operation in this year of 2026 but a lot of the functions do not work. If you would like to join in and help with the project head over to the project website at the link provided here.
