The current one has been up and running since around February 2019, so well over a year now.
3. No, we absolutely won't guarantee any regular updates. At least I won't, and the other developer do things whenever he has time. This thing is strictly to provide the nostalgic experience of having a server online for those who wish to play.
There really is no point in advertising. Never was. Everything was too messy to benefit in the slightest from advertisements. Nobody were able to clean up the mess before the thing was discontinued.
Highly unlikely that anyone will put money into advertising the current one as well. There is a very limited interest in Dodian remakes these days. I'm personally just tired of seeing a new one pop up every half year or so because someone won't let it die. So I've taken it upon myself to make sure a remake remains online to avoid this.
In the process I decided that all monetizing of Dodian is removed, at least until we can provide something worth paying for.
If someone wants to see real progress or changes on here, someone needs to provide the funding. The only motivator to develop a Dodian remake these days is for money. The remake itself won't make nearly enough to pay for developers that can make regular updates. However if community wishes, things can be crowd-funded.

I've got it wrong?
I think not. I've been playing since Fab made his #298 and I was one of the only players playing for months on end, no one seemed to care to see the game progress. Constant bugs, no advertisements, etc. YET, the donations received from many of your projects has gone toward NOTHING but the host. No one ever seemed to care to see Dodian continue.
Now we are in 2020 and you want to bring back the past, but with a strict "nostalgic" approach. That's awful and it will be a repeat of the history of any remake of Dodian.
It's sad you few own the domains to these names and want to build something from it. I'm sorry, but you should not be remaking something if you plan to ruin everything in the blink of an eye each time you decide you want to quit!
Awful management and quite frankly pathetic!
