Well that sucks..
Ive been off the game for a while now, before i quit i got my DH to level 37, got a nice guild, alot of friends and such, and i was going to come back to the game. But now that Jap is ending, im quite afraid that this will too, especially cause there is 0 staff around, no one telling us nothing. Seen this happen in another game just like this Confused

And all my friends + guildies are offline, im still in top 5 in levels, seems like this game died.
Atm going to check starting areas how it looks like in there, atleast aldenvault is dead Sad

wait... why would the Japanese version end when it was more successful than this version? (not including all the dumb things they did to it).

hmm the game is out there since a month or so...i don' think that they would give it up so fast.

From what it looks like, it seems it's only the registration process. Maby they closed it down as , if I understand it, they were still runing in beta mode. Maby they will go full live soon. I had heard a short while back from insider sources that the new version of the game should be ready by the end of the first quarter of this year, but since then I didn't see any official postings.

Let's hope for the best and not panic.

the game woud probaly fail at japan anyways, cause its not "asia-enough" ...

They made new faces available in the character creation that look Asian enough.

They made new faces available in the character creation that look Asian enough.

Reason numer 1.

It didnt make enough money.

I hope that us/eu free2play version is still coming.

Level cap 30 without endgame isnt enough.

Wow, a termination during Beta. Looks like the old bugs were never fixed, but many more new ones were added so too few people actually ended up playing (at least that's what I can gather form the Japanese Spellborn forums). Unfortunately for Spellborn, this is probably the end. I will be very surprised if they still try to re-release it in NA/EU.

My god I hope it isn't the end. I've been waiting for the re-release to come out to get back into the game. This game has the best combat system I've seen yet in any of the mmorpgs I've played. It will be a sad day if this has to end completely.

if there is no statement there is no end...
acclaim will release their own item shop version...thats the last statement and before there is no other the new version will come.

There may be no-one to make that statement. TheHistorian is no longer even with Acclaim as of a week ago and the only "official" statement regarding that is by one of the mods on 2moons forums.
