Chronicles of Spellborn servers going offline next month

Never heard of it :|

Another failed MMO down I assume

To everyone who ever played, I want to personally thank you. The Webinars that I made with El "Selachii" Drijver were perhaps the coolest thing I've ever seen a Developer and Publisher do for a game community. Never before could a player sit in on and actually take part in a weekly discussion of of a game, speaking directly to the Lead Game Designer . I have all of them posted on my personal site, feel free to Google me if you want to hear them.

Aw, this is actually a sad one to let go.
This game was certainly very fun and interesting.
Gameplay was different from most, as were many mechanics and features refreshing.
Yes, it wasn't the best game, and it was full of bugs, but it was still enjoyable.

Well, I guess it was inevitable when the game was doing so bad from the start.
If only it had had more attention.

Never heard of it

It's called "private servers."

How about making everyone an Admin right near the end of the game.

Have never heard of it. That's probably a bad sign. :-P

This game was subject to so many ownership changes and problems that it was never publicised enough to reach its deserved potential.

The players of The Chronicles of Spellborn were recently informed the game will be closing at the end of this month.

Since Acclaim sold out to Playdom months ago our community has been ignored by all administrators/moderators/support team and have been fighting keep the game going by contacting all the companies involved.

Acclaim did not reply to any e-mails.
Playdom replied stating they have no involvement in the game.
Spellborn NV did not reply.
Frogster directed us to their German site even after being told the correspondent was English and therefore unable to use a German site.

This latest news about the game's closure was not received by Playdom, but by a Games.com writer who received an e-mail from Playdom informing them of this decision, this seems strange as they informed us they are not involved in the game.

We love this game, and do not want it to end.

The players have created a petition here to keep the game online - http://www.petitiononline.com/tcos/petition.html

We have appealed to Playdom to review their decision but are not hopeful of a reply.

We think the online gaming community has a right to know about how these companies treat their players.

@ Historian, thank you for being one of the few who was decent enough to talk to us about it :) xx

thank you for reading this

The What of What? I guess this game's publicity is coming a little late.

How do you eat this?
