Had a good amount of characters, but here's my main last touched over 8 months ago:
Got into beta...really loved it and played with my friends
really liked just being able to make designs (which stopped being free after beta which was really my MAIN thing i was interested in)
Then....the NA servers got split in half for "performance" or whatever, but that cut my entire group up and the rest of the actual game was just me and my gf
we pushed on and continued to play often together but we'd get lazy or have other games to play until eventually we just kinda stopped...or checked in rarely when something new happened (like a new class)
Still I always feel like "oh well I can always play some other time when I feel like it again" and then next thing you know, game's gone (just how it goes with a lot of mmos)
I didn't play it as much as I had early on but it's still a little surprising to see it go so quickly (not as quickly as Ncwest's MxM tho hah...)
I read into what more active players thought about it, problems with the game I wouldn't always notice since I usually am pretty relaxed in games
While it's probably just coincidence...I find it interesting it was announced around the time PSO2's open beta started....it seems like they've been waiting to announce this for awhile tho?
edit: just saw that the japanese sever is also closing, looks like it's just the KR server left (unless there's another I haven't seen)
