This is also a game with so much potential.

Cheers

I am surprised it lasted as long as it did, it was a pretty good game when I played I have no idea in more recent years tho.
I am a bit scared of this with Blade and Soul too, have a lot of fond memories with that game and the base story is genuinely really good imo.

10 years is a good run tho, it just always sucks with MMO's that you lose all of that work you put into it ( and cosmetics you spent money on ).
One day it'll happen to every online game I am just more wary of it with games that aren't under more '' mainstream '' publishers.
Happened to Wildstar too, I quit playing it and was gonna return then I found out that the game was shutting down in like a week .

I wish MMO's that closed down got offline modes at least, nothing super in depth necessarily but just the ability to play it as a sandbox without other players offline so it's not lost forever.

Plus, to have seen first-hand the entire débàcle that occurred around Blizzard, the absolute unforgivable things they did... and for customers to indeed, move on like nothing happened... Extremely saddening. No one cares anymore. Everyone wants to tune out stuff and consume without remorse.

Sad but true, .

I just wrote off Blizzard completely, threw away all of their games and all merch and collectors editions I owned of them ( I've played their games since I was like 6 years old, so it's not like it wasn't a big deal to me too ).
It's not even Blizzard anymore to begin with, I just view it as Activison now.
All of the people who made Blizzard great aren't there anymore a lot of them left way back, the people who made Diablo what it was left after 2.

Blizzard just doesn't deserve any extra attention or bias and if I wouldn't give Activison any special treatment I won't give '' Blizzard '' any either.
People are still in love with a company and studios that simply no longer exist.
