I have been here several times the past weeks, hoping for good news so I can finally renew my account without beeing afraid to lose everything I did. I was checking the boards almost daily and almost camping here , hoping for something positive like a new patch or some words that would make me hope again.
I think its time to draw the line.
Look at the time that has passed since this "problems" started. Anybody with a slight sense for any business knows already that there is nothing to look forward to. How could something like this happen ? No company who plans to continue its work would let a money gaining product linger, if not "rot" like that. You cannot hope for revive after all this time. The only support you get is the server getting booted up again once in a while, because thats the only way to have the last poor hoping souls pay money for a dead thing thats no longer cared about.
You should go somewhere else to spend your time with. Please dont get me wrong, I loved this game and if there was hope I would never want to say that, ever. But even if they would manage a revive now there is absolutely no guarantee it wouldnt happen again. Who knows if the paying customers are happy enough to have an online server the next time. Leave, before you put even more effort, your personal limited time and love into something thats likely not to see another day/week/month whatever its gona be.
To be honest, I also wouldnt even dare to open an account on NA shards. After all nobody knows who really is in charge for this major failure, and it might just aswell be them going into the next communication blockade. Which might be followed by non-existant patches and non existant customer support. If Tulga had any way to prevent this you can be very sure that they would already have. Yet they didnt. If they cant or they dont want to nobody knows, any of the 2 cases is extremely worrying.
Dont bother yourself with it. I just realised how much it haunted me. Dont let the same thing happen to you and find something more enjoyable to spend your life with, because you only have one of it.The more you put into it, the more it hurts when you realise that its "game over".
