...and I'm sure many others would as well.
Would it be completely "impossible" to turn back on the servers and continue Dust 514 as it was at the moment of shutdown?
People were, honestly, awfully spoiled to have had 4 years of DUST 514 for nothing-- I played from 2012 to the end in 2016 for FREE!
If you want it back, it's time to pay up.
Could adequate funds be generated through the fan base for CCP to maintain this?
Is a model like this even attainable/ feasible?
The simple fact is that whatever was necessary to run the backend for Dust 514 is most likely long gone. Don't forget that when Project Nova is brought online, it'll be running on what used to be the hardware for Dust 514 unless it isn't already being used for that, which is honestly quite likely.
I'm not trying to trivialize what you or anyone else who makes these threads is feeling, because I feel EXACTLY the same way. I see all these shooters on the horizon and even an MMO or two but none of them give me the feeling of being on the ground in New Eden that I came to crave in Dust. More than anything I want CCP Shanghai to show up to EVE Vegas with another playable demo of Project Nova so we can get some more footage recorded and up on YouTube so we can see the changes they've made.
My dream would be for them to have some kind of official presentation with an Alpha start date, but I'm going to keep that locked up deep in my heart where it won't take over my emotions and leave me crushed when it doesn't happen.

However would not pay for DUST. Not at this point, there are higher quality games I'd rather spend the funds/time on.
Agreed.
