I honestly don't want the servers to close down as they start up the alpha testing on this game (its one an the only one i enjoy) an i wanted to get my war classes up to max an then focus on my DOH an DOL's i would suggest keeping them open through all the alpha an beta testing since its only open too japan for the time being I personally want to beable to get the stuff that's still in this version before 2.0 comes out i would have to miss out on anything here before it goes too 2.0
