    Default Aeria Games to aquire Shadowbane ?!

    Source

    Last month, Ubisoft told players that the game servers for long-running MMO, Shadowbane, will be shut down permanently from 1 May 2009. However, at the present, Shadowbane was still alive.

    A Shadowbane developer has posted on the forums to inform players that the closure date has been extended a further two months to allow players to tie up any loose ends, and so that a few special events can take place.

    Shadowbane Farewell Extended!

    Shadowbane developer: "Following our recent news, the support and enthusiasm the community has shown for Shadowbane has led to an extension of the closure date to July 1, 2009. This should allow the community enough time to play out its final days appropriately. We are looking into various options to make these final days as fun as possible!".
    This has resulted in a mixed reaction from players, as many had given away valuable items or performed irreversible actions in preparation for leaving the game.

    According to one source, Aeria Games, one American game publisher, intended to take over Shadowbane and keep it going.

    Knowing AeriaGame they will probably make SB completely unplayable unless you buy alot from the cash shop.

    We must go forward, not backward. Upward, not forward. And always twirling, twirling, twirling towards freedom!

    Currently Playing:

    I was simply saying that a source says this?
    You can't always believe sources.

    And pffbbt where do you get off calling aeria lame when I can't call shadowbane lame? You're the one who is childish.

    Well if the farmers all died.... then yeah it would be a lot better.
    And no sir, you fail. But hmm everyone has their own opinion and I respect everyone's right to type theirs.

    why not email the ppl at the website instead of asking here, since that's all the info they wrote ? Strange. No one confirmed anything though, just take it with a pinch of salt and maybe wait for more news.

    Well I do use the Aeria games forums on a daily basis and only thing I've seen on the their forums is people asking for Aeria to host the game. This has been going on for quite some time and they haven't really said they would host it.

    I am just sick of people saying Aeria fails, and most of all the people who can't accept other people's opinions if their opinions don't match their own.

    Cinderboy, the only person on onrpg with any respect left.

    I lol'd.

    But yeah, Aeria would just ruin the game.

    *sigh*. This is an opportunity I can't resist, but instead of shutting it down, I would be smart,(of course this would take a shiz load of money) and actually make the games better for the players, and rid the world of the cash shop, and make all games better!!! Oh what a dream, might as well stick with shutting Aeria Down -_______-
