They’ll shut down in June
We haven’t written much about Korean MMOArcheAgesincereviewing it nine years ago, and there won’t be many future opportunities to write about it, either. Its developers have announced that its European and North American servers will shut down on June 27th.
“After discussing the performance of ArcheAge with XL Games at length, we have concluded that we’re no longer able to provide the MMORPG we envisioned. The declining number of active players means the game’s content is no longer accessible in the way it used to be, and the experience of it is different from what was originally intended,” saystermination of service announcement. “In light of this, we’ve made the difficult decision to terminate the live service of ArcheAge in Europe and North America.”
Once the servers go offline, player information will be deleted. The servers will remain online in other regions, but a FAQ under the announcement says the operators of the games in those regions have “implemented IP blocks”, and it isn’t possible to transfer accounts between regions.
