Outside of PvP content there was also the concern that players would simply progress further than others could ever hope to catch up to.
Our plan has been from the beginning to not have Avalon enabled at launch, but instead to closely monitor user activity and progression so we can enable the content once we have enough players ready and able to participate. This choice has raised concerns about the advantages such a head-start will grant users, especially in competitive content such as Avalon. We have all spent hours sitting in a queue, or worse scheduling time off work to enjoy the launch only to end up sitting around all day waiting for servers to stabilize enough to support players. As most gamers have experienced, when a game launches, servers often have issues. We considered this at length internally before deciding to approach launch in this manner, and believe it is the best method to bring the servers online.
Our sympathies go out to any remaining players and rank-and-file devs affected.Just leave this sucker here and play a gameįor the Western Launch of Astellia each pre-order package will have a different start date, this has been done to support game server integrity. The hand-off from its original publisher, Barunsun EA, to a blockchain company was… interesting… and the royal spinoff landed just last March, with its concurrency never topping 600 players. Within a few months, however, it was already sunsetting in Korea, merging servers, and planting stakes on Steam, where it saw an all-time peak of 1,171 concurrent players. Our take was that it was “ not astonishing, but certainly not atrocious” – a “ solidly average MMO” that had the misfortune of launching on the heels of Bless Online’s capsize. Readers will recall that Astellia Online launched in September 2019 as a import from South Korea, so it’ll have made it just two years. The official site has additional information, including the news that the website itself is toast the same day as the sunset and that players can apply for refunds for outstanding BENA cash starting September 28th.Īstellia Royal hasn’t made any such announcement yet, but the game’s Steam page is still missing its play and buy buttons, so we’d expect that sunset is still coming too. That schedule makes clear that item sales closed yesterday, though players can still use gems and purchased items, and there will be a “service termination event” beginning August 17th and running through the sunset players can expect a 300% experience and drop rate bonus and half off cash shop stuff. We would like to thank you for playing Astellia until now, and please find below for detailed schedule of service termination and refund.” We regretfully inform you that Astellia service will be closed on October 29th, 2021 (Fri). Unfortunately, we have the decision to terminate Astellia service. “Before detailed announcement, we are deeply grateful to all users playing Astellia for the interest and support.
Late last night, the company that currently owns the game finally announced the closure without any explanation. Further digging provided the knowledge that the game’s Reddit was dead and spammers were picking the carcass of the official forums clean. Yesterday afternoon, the MMO community raised a collective eyebrow at the realization that Astellia Online and Astellia Royal had vanished from Steam without so much as a word.
