This is heartbreaking, look how much they care to come on and wait like that giving their characters and the world a final goodbye 😢
This is like watching Universe 7 get erased in Dragon ball Super
@@jasonu3741 I can't give that a thumbs up 🥺 but yeah
Not even joking I felt more grief about this, then the whole Ukraine war thing.
@@FreedomAndPeaceOnly damn ngl same lmao.
it's not. it's a good thing probably one of their best life decisions.
Since 2006, I have played on both the Chinese and American servers, and this is a deeply emotional experience for me, bringing tears to my eyes. As one of the druids, I teleported back to Emerald and chose to fall asleep at the bottom of the lake before the shut down, where I will rest forever. Goodbye WOW.
Wow!!! That‘s insane dude, wishing your druid all the best!
That's heartbreaking. I shouldn't have watched this, and I can still play. I mean life is more important, but what a brutal fashion for it to be taken right out from under all the players. My heart hurts right now for you all.
Whenever I part ways with a game I bring my character to it's starting point or someplace I would have considered it's home to log out, but it's always been my choice to do so, I can't imagine how much this sucks for you and everyone else
sad story :(
Don’t tell us that 😭
Reminds me of the time the private server of an MMO I played shut down. it ran for 6 years. It used to have thousands of players, but by the 6th year, there's only 50 players online left. The admin announced that by the end of the month the server will be shutting down since they can no longer support it. Last day of August, we stayed online had chat with GMs, on that last day, the admin gave everyone all the best items available in the game and we had a final King of the hill type PVP. few minutes before the shutdown, we went to the Island map which is a beach, we all were given swimwear attire just sat around the campfire and we just stayed there talking about what to do next and our goodbyes.
What game was this?
@@SkiddyBeef must be good, old L2
🥲🥲
RO?
and now since Blizzard faces severe financial crisis, they come up with Chinese players again......they even attempt to compensate with a few codes......
I love when communities come together to celebrate one last run
At this point I dont know if is sad or if they are free at least from blizzard
@@DudeNamedDuncan wrong. they're free to look for a new MMO game to spend the rest of their life for.
One of the best memories from my teenage years was playing WoW. Just remember they can't shut down the memories, friends.
well maybe someone there rams you with his car and you go into a vegetative state when you cannot remember your time playing wow :(( just saying
alzheimer's has entered the chat
Cringe
Yet
They'll certainly try you can bet on that
This is absolutely terrible. No joke. People lost things they have been emotionally attached to for literal decades because some corpos couldn’t agree on a deal. Such bullshit.
Oh no. Chinese people are sad... anyways...
I think it's great. Tired of game companies always pandering to one continent.
@@tordb Continent? not even, to A COUNTRY!
proof that anything owned online has no value
It's because China wants their population playing Chinese made games so they force worse and worse deals on foreigners while stealing their tech
This is really sad. A lot of people don't get along due to barriers like religion and nationality but those who are not gamers need to understand that when we play, there are no barriers and some games form camaraderie and friendship. To see the players come together and knowing they are about to disappear is heartbreaking. I'm not even chinese.
the barrier between us is if im horde and u are alliance :P
@@sandra7190 kid 🤡
I totally disagree.
Because of chinese players we have shit like gacha games, lootboxes and 200$ skins in LoL. They love this shit and they love pay to win... what is a huge barrier to me.
Actually Chinese players can always use vpn or legal gaming vpn to play international server. It’s just in Chinese server they have better environment, and they don’t need to pay the DLC ( They subscribe it with a relatively lower price).
@@JesiAsh "Because of Chinese players"
I remember when this happened with an MMO from my childhood. All the clan members gathered together and we all took screenshots. I don't have a copy, but maybe my dad does (we used to play MMOs together). It was always so sad.
My heart goes out to all the poor players losing their accounts forever because of things out of their control. You will be remembered and missed.
Its not out of there control though. It's the Chinese population fault for having a government that screws over the gaming industry.
Imagine wasting your life on a video game
Or weak trolling on UA-cam 🤡
@@pete531 is it worse that wasting it in youtube comment section ?
Blizzard made a tool for netease to archive these acc's. So when a new provider is found they may be reinstated
Obviously my girlfriend would say it's just video games, but I could not imagine being someone that plays as much as Asmon and then just losing that world forever. Sad :(
i would either leave my girlfriend or have a serious talk with her no front
@@stepitup23 or you could just pity her instead for not having the empathy to pretend to care even if it's something she's not interested in.
sad yes, but also it can set you free, as getting rid of ever possesion, physical or mental (virtual) that doesnt serve you any good anymore....and that is WoW im sorry to say...sometimes a forced situation like this can shock you back into your true nature knock some sense into you know what i mean? i cant feel sorry for these chinese folks because i know they can turn it into bettering themselves (like i did no cap) but maybe they will just get attached to another virtual escape who knows :( could be good opportunity for anyone whos willing to accept it
Imagine Asmond's thousands of hours spent grinding mounts and they all just go poof.
The clips channel would have some great content though.
And then she watches crime scene TV series and simps for a guy acting, and acts angry for the entire day if he dies.
That sucks man. I've played since BC, not as much lately, but I can't imagine just getting cut off like that. Kinda sad 😢
Despite only playing it for the span of about 5 months when I was younger, when Lego Universe shut down in January 2012 I cried like a bitch all night. It's not that it was hard to progress in the game (though I definitely had a lot of hours on it), I lost a lot of good friends, too. I can't imagine losing 10 years worth of progress in a game like WoW.
Damn... I feel so bad for them.
its funny i didn't feel anything hearing about this, but watching this clip now, it was actually pretty sad
This is what happened when you give the government unlimited and unchecked power.
The government isn’t your friend and they don’t care about you.
China 1 World ? xDD common 😂
Lmfao fk them all. little gold farmers and disgusting online cheaters
i dont feel the least bad, its a video game they will get over it
They allowed players to download their characters’ data, so I hope one day wow will be available in China again and everyone will be able to restore their characters.
It is sad to see many people losing their hobby, which probably took a significant part in their lives. Especially due to the things completely out of their control.
Nah, China made their own wow.
I mean literally they re skimned the game and released it.
@@grosslittlegoblin1358 tarisland? its nothing like wow. just looks like a generic fantasy game
Thats a spiderweb thin silver lining in a hurricane.
Although that is some solace. I would put my characters data on a USB or Hard drive and give it a little display in my home or carry it for a while.
That has to be an awful feeling. I hope they can regroup in other games. Then start the joy of another adventure with old friends.
@@itsKayzur with a lot of WoW knockoffs. Bitch even stole deathwing.
I find it odd that Blizzard themselves don't backup their character for (if) they find a new partner to host their games. Imagine those who did not manage to backup...
All this moments will be lost in time... like tears in the rain.
that freeze before ejecting you to the log in screen is such a heart ache.
watching this caused actual pain in my heart, i dont even play WoW but i cant imagine how it must feel watching your favourite game, all your memories in it, all the friends you've made in game, your guild and what not. All of that gone because corporations and politics can't even stay in its place, it has to ruin even the downtime we have away from it.
everyone blaming capitalism but if we had socialism the lights wouldn’t even be on past 6 PM 😂
@@BigHotSauceBoss69 i cant really see anyone blaming capitalism? and I definitely can't see anyone advocating for socialism... are you alright?
They're just addicts. This is good for them.
@@BigHotSauceBoss69 ah great another person utterly obsessed with politics
This has nothing to do with either.... Get a grip man
I went through this with City of Heroes. Thankfully there have been private servers running and NCSoft has allowed them to exist.
As an obsessed MMO gamer since 1999, my heart goes out. I left Everquest with my guild and went to Vanguard. It was sad and depressing when they closed the doors. I can't imagine if I played WoW daily since 2005, and it just abruptly ends.
time to get a life incel bois lmao
I think some of them are going to be happier. I think playing wow (or any videogame in general) DAILY is like having 30 boxes of cigarettes every day.

On April 10, Blizzard Entertainment, Microsoft Games and NetEase jointly announced that Blizzard Entertainment’s game works will gradually return to the Chinese market starting this summer according to the updated game distribution agreement.
hope their players data is saved on some nasa level harddrive
@@quinnquinnquinn215 doubtful, Chinese privacy laws prevented blizzard from saving the data. Not sure if Netease was allowed to keep it though. Remember reading that blizzard required players who wished to continue if they returned to download their game data from Netease. There was a lot of talk that they were not able to save the data before it closed down, due servers being overloaded with every player trying to do it.
Nasa lost the moon landing tapes..
and suddenly… thousands of voices cried out…
I started playing wow since 2005. Lots of things happened in my life and I can no longer dedicate the time to play the game at a level that I once used to. But, I took for granted the fact that.... I can just renew my sub and still play the game that gave me countless memories of a great time of my life. The players in China will never get to go back and that sucks. Especially when people on the other side of the world still get to play.
Maybe if ccp goes down in your lifetime you can restart on other servers.
CCP are sucking the life out of China. One day they will take everything.
down with the ccp
I wonder if anyone will move to a different country just to play WoW again
Same here started in 2005 and nowtoo much going on in life to find the time, but this makes me want to start back if even for just an hour a week.
I know this feeling, i was playing dragon nest since junior high school. I had that account for like 9 years until the server shutting down in 2019 . Of course , i was in that last moment 😊 . It was quite emotional moment at least for me
Dragon Nest. I remember finding that diamond at the bottom of the barrel. I lost way more time on that game that I thought I would. I loved the tinkerer class.
Just for them to come back later and give us the sin of DN mobile 😭😭
it's one thing to lose an account because the game isn't doing so good anymore, another thing when a game is being stripped because the companies just wants more from each other rather than thinking about the player base. The 2nd one hurts much more I think.
let's just hope that dragon sword would bring back those DN moments back in the day
i played dragon nest for about a month, found vindictus, and sank 3+ years into that game instead. when they finally announce the death of that server ill probably log on to wave goodbye
Reminds me of the end of City of Heroes and the amazing send-off they players gave it amidst crashing meteors. *sniff* No matter what others think about the MMO you play the most, we all (players with a big time investment in a MMO) understand and connect with the sadness of something like this happening. My go-to MMO has places where I don't even do anything, just chill and admire the beautiful landscapes to escape from the urban madness of the real world. Losing that would be horrible. I hope that this can be resolved in the future.
City of heroes was so much fun.
Reminds me of when we lost Exteel back in 2010 :C Me and a group of friends tried to bring it back but the community was nowhere to be found
all that celebration of the life they had with the game abruptly stopped to send them back to the familiar login screen but this time is lifeless and everything you had now gone. this was like watching someone hold something dear and having it die right in their arms.. like people huddled together dreading the last moment of an end out of their control. we feel your pain China. I hope 2023 brings something good enough to help you feel better. ❤️
Momento Mori
Could they use a VPN to continue playing
@@vxgamer8505 the servers with their player data are gone. if they play another regions WoW they'd be on a fresh account :(
also a VPN would probably get them in legal trouble by using it to bypass china's strict internet laws
@@ashxxiv man that sucks 😞
Their country doesn't fight for freedom so you get what your given... every company should ban china and other countries
Seeing everyone gathered there for one last time made me feel like the very ending episode of an incredible anime ending forever with no new seasons ever being made. Made me feel like reading the last page of a wonderful book that will never have a continuation or another book. How painful.
Goodbye cowboy beebop my heart still crawes for more.
ok bro
They're just addicts. This is good for them.
cringe weeb takes
Look at some of the vids of ffxiv 1.0 shutdown...
Reminds me of when Smedly came to Everquest 2 and ruined it in less than a year. I was a top 10 world-wide ranked Assassin back then.
damn man this hit me alot harder then i thought it was going to. just the community these people built ripped away
I feel so bad for them. I don't even play these days but if I was to hear the game was shutting down I could only imagine how bummed I'd be, let alone the players that are still loving the game. I hope whatever bs is going on gets worked out, that really sucks for everyone that lost their favorite game
Yeah Imagine u play something everyday for 10 hours this is ur life u love it and than its gone i not even play wow and feel sad about it

@@zawiszaczarny1749 i dont think thats so easy in china, its fucked up but thats probably all some of them had, i wouldnt be suprised if a few actually killed themselves, just bein honest
Reminds me of being on to celebrate my last minutes in City of Heroes. That little hitch as it freezes and kicks you to the main menu is an absolutely heart-wrenching moment.
One thing playing a niche genre game, is in the back of your head _enjoy it until it lasts_ but to WoW, I mean people adjust/shape their life around it and even found their other half.
City of Heroes is still playable! Search CoH Homecoming if you didn't already know!
Cities of Heroes sucked. All you could attack was large groups, and it was impossible to solo any level of reasonable content.
you can play CoH now
Man that City of Heroes was so memorable, the game was so big I feel I could get lost in it, unfortunately I thought it was so big I had to do some reasearch first but just forgot to come back.
They were all hoping for that magic isekai moment to happen, like 'overlord'.
Meet you guys at Tarisland , release this 21st June 2024 😭😭😭😭😭
this actually gave me goosebumps i used to play wow from 2004 until 2010 i got to talk to so many people people from different cultures it was insane
FACK AMERICA!
Same here. I played parts of the beta when i started my University studies. Then half a year after the initial release I started playing again and played through BC and Lich King. Then I played parts of Cataclysm and I tested Pandaria. Now almost 20 years later I get that "itch" to play again from time to time.
I started a trial account a couple of years ago and I was amused (and a bit scared) to see how my old key bindings for mages and druids still were present in my muscle memory.
I think I would have gone to either Teldrassil or Duskwood, my favorite zones in the game. The beautiful fantasy forest of the night elves, teeming with life and nature, and the spooky haunted woods where I well and truly fell in love with the game for the first time while seething as a kid over Mor'ladim farming my corpse. I think I'll have to boot the game up and do that when it inevitably shuts down in general, even if I haven't played in about two years now.
As a gamer who have witnessed a lot of online games' deaths first person, trust me, you would want to be with the community.
@@bronzejourney5784 I second this. But, everyone has their own way
But you wouldn't mind going to those places by yourself when the game ends even though there a bunch of players gathered in one place with fireworks to watch it end together?
Remember you can always just download your own private server and explore the map too, if you missed the places that much. That kinda shit is easy for us. Hopefully when WoW truly dies for us it'll be because we really don't care about it anymore anyway
Barrens or Tanaris for me, maybe because I was horde player
There were visually less people although there are merged realms in modern wow than it was on any of Nostalrius realms when it was going to shutdown
I sympathize. The City of Heroes sunset in 2012 was painful but at least the fans found a way back to the game in 2019 with COH:HOMECOMING
I've had a similar experience to this one when Freerealms shut down. That was my childhood game, and memories of the shutdown are very similar to what these players experienced here. It's not just about virtual items and progress lost. Games really are an escape for a lot of people. I can't imagine how awful it feels to play a game for a decade and build friendships on there just to lose contact with them once the game dies. I feel that pain 100%.
My family and I also played WoW, and it's impacted our lives far more than you'd expect. My dad started playing when WoW first came out. My mom followed once TBC released. During that time, my parents met with a guild to do raids and befriended them. I ended up playing WoW for the first time a little while before WoTLK. After WoTLK, the guild started hosting these yearly irl reunions. It only took a couple of trips to these reunions before my parents fell in love with the area. So we ended up moving, which probably wouldn't have happened if WoW did not exist.
@@Leeches- Dang, that's awful. I can totally understand being wary of maxing out in just any MMO because of that experience. The only saving grace I've had with game shutdowns was the fact I was never super great at them. I always played casually. Hopefully you've been able to find a stable game to replace GunZ. I still play WoW, but there hasn't been a game quite like Freerealms, and there probably won't be again.
Man, I don't even play wow anymore but my heart was literally in my chest watching this knowing was about to come. People dedicate huge chunks of their lives to this game and its like losing a part of yourself. This is pure awful.
Dont spend a chunk of your life in video game like total loser.
Wow was the most boring game ever played. But I felt for them, so much grind and they losing it because they were born in wrong country.
@@bunnyfreakz I have spent a chunk of my life in VideoGames in general, this applies to me?

Strong Titanic Vibes. The part with the band while the ship was about to sink.
Bro I literally almost cried... Feel really bad for them. Seeing how they all came out and were celebrating one last time was just incredibly sad.

@@weirdyoutubechannels Yea definitely not, your content is pedo clickbait lol.... Very weird muh dude.
Most likely they will be able to get their accounts back, blizzard just needs to find someone else to partner with besides netease in china
You almost cried? You forget to take your hormone blockers or something?
This happened to my Maplestory2 account 3 years ago. The entire game was shutdown though aside from korea, so ALL regions went through the same thing. I know EXACTLY what it feels like to see the world freeze, watch everyone for a last moment, and get booted back to the login screen. Only to try and reconnect and watch as it fails. I stayed on the login screen for a few days, as the moment I closed it, I could never open the game again.
Rest it peace, Alvadi, My Runeblade.
The game had a terrible community. Full of elitists and crappy people at the top.
@@NeoShinobi every game to ever exist does. Some more so than others
The thing is, Chinese were the most loyal Blizzard audience too. Warcraft the movie managed to be profitable only because of their massive support. And Blizzard frakked them over like nothing, being absolutely incapable to pull their head from their ass and work in accordance to the environment of the country they were in. Zero effort to take care of their player base, all pride. Although tbf this doesn't only apply to Blizzard but to a lot of political governments as well these days, absolute narcissism. And the victim of that are always simple folk, not those who are in power.
So imagine, if Blizzard can do this to their most loyal audience, what can they do to you.
I was hoping that through this the spam and ads in trade would slow, it's still just as bad as ever.
I played WoW from opening day 2004 til 2011. Great memories made with great friends met (some I still keep in touch with to this day) with a heavy heart I quit playing, but at least it was on my own terms. I feel so bad for these guys who had the carpet yanked right out from under them like this. I would be livid.
Heartfelt sympathies sent from an OG wow’er from the US of A
Well said brother well said
Same here. Played a bit less than. You till 2009 but man. Good times. I eventually left the game because it just consumed all my time gathering mats and doing things for raids and stuff.
time to get a life incel bois lmao
Why did you quit.
hits you right in the feels. i hope one day they can get their accounts back
I think all the accounts are saved they just need someone to be the Chinese company for blizzard going forward.
Yeah i hope they can migrate to new server with their account. Loosing accounts and all progress bcs of server closed are sucks
nah who gives a fuck ,it's a video game and a shit one at that
Same!!! 😢😢😢
Says the Americans who are responsible for it.
that's the part where you wake up next morning inside the game as an isekai anime
That must be so emotional. Spending all that time on a game and community just to have it pulled from under them. Seeing all them gather to bid farewell. ❤
That's just heartbreaking for them, I don't play a whole lot now but I would still be devastated to lose all those memories. I'm in Australia and worked with a Chinese guy who was over visiting on a work visa and didn't know English the best, I casually mentioned wow and his face lit up, from that day on we would chat about wow
Same feeling as when they closed Club Penguin... man... that was the best MMO c'mon
Thank god I've never had this happen to me, not yet at least.
Worst loss I had was finding out Aion straight up deleted the 4.0 regions, they were my favs.
This reminds me of so many childhood games that shut down over the years... always an unwelcome goodbye
Whats worse is it pushed all of them onto NA and EU servers so the hacking is 10x worse than it was when they were at least semi contained
Reminds me of when Star Wars Galaxies finally shut down, broke my heart because I was deployed at the time so I couldn't even log in to say goodbye.
This hurt me way more than it should. Hell man, i feel like I lost something myself. It s an obi wan feeling thousands voices going exctinct kind of shit.
Man, this reminds me of when the official Ragnarok Online server in our country was shut down. So many people gathered outside of Prontera just saying their goodbyes, talking about the next game to play or moving and starting over to a new server. Sad times.
One of my games shut down a year ago I was sad as I’d put years into it
The song "Goodbye to a World" by Porter Robinson comes to mind
Having an mmo world die is always sad. Gives me some sort of existential dread as if a world is really being deleted. Anyone else?
You realize there once was this place called Atlantis, the world has gone through several periods of cataclysms and lost civilizations. This is a videogame that people play for entertainment, if you are that invested in a game then you have a problem.

I really hope Blizzard finds a solution where the players get to keep their characters. I cannot imagine how shitty it must feel to have 10+ years of progress go down the drain because of a botched business deal.
didnt they add a savestate or something for if/when they resume service?
A lot of them went private server. A lot more went us servers
Blizz own the data, much like users payment details etc.
Oh I'm sure it'll come back, NetEase might not want to make a deal with blizzard, but they're not the only player in china that can support blizzards servers. Only thing is, a new deal can take years to get approved by the government over there.
It is supposed to be some feature for saving/transferring your progress, but from what i understood it works not, and Blizzard always carrying most for the customers, doest give a fuck :) Belular gaming was Talking with a dude on this subject
I can only compare it to when my Minecraft server got shut down and I made such good friends and builds on it and the last week everyone left their island and made one HUGE one.
It's moments like these that sit in the back of the mind of every MMO player, knowing it is not an 'if,' but 'when' 😢
I started to play on Chinese server in 2015 when 6.0 was almost over and started legion until 9.0 what a great memory. I met my Chinese friends from my guild , we was like 30+ people eating hotpot in Chongqing. Played Mythic + 28lvl as my max.
My server was Feralas. I’ve stopped around 2019 or something. No idea what happened to that server. It’s just so sad to see WOW is over. I’m glad I left in 2019 to avoid this heart break
Feeling the Nostalrius vibes... it's always so cool when a huge group of WoW players are together essentially RPing
This happened almost the same way for Star Wars Galaxies.
I was playing battlefield heros when it went offline 😢 i didnt even know it at the time. I still miss it, best battlefield ever
This is the FF14 1.0 shutdown all over again for these guys, and the worst part is there's a high chance there won't even be "A realm reborn" in their case

That is quite the experiment on what people's behavior would be in a case of a comet strike, for example.
As you can see nobody is trying to achieve more gold or complete a quest.
All are just having fun and meeting the End together.
It's how Life works. If you knew that you'll die in 200 days, you would stop doing most things. You would probably prefer to just make some memories, enjoy the last 200 days and just wait it out. To have a full enjoyable life, we must be unaware of our own end, otherwise all become pointless. Why would they get more gold or do quests? All will be erased in an hour and gone forever. You might as well pass the last hour with people and created some lasting memories!
Kind of reminds me when they shut down Warhammer Online. A lot of people stood around, talked about how much they loved the game, and shot off 'fireworks.'
That's really shitty, I've been playing since 04/05. The day that I can't log into my OG characters that started it all for me. That would be devastating.
Something like this should never happen...it sickens me when i cant get something just because i live in europe and not in america for example. and i cant even imagine how frustrating and sad this must be...losing so many years of game just because of the region you live in and knowing that its only your region and people in other parts of the world can still play the game you love but you cant
Bruh, it's just that company x in China that was in charge of distributing the game in China couldn't come to an agreement with Blizzard, so they didn't extend the contract. Player progress is saved. Blizzard just needs to find another company to handle the distribution of the game in China..

As a long time player of FFXI and WoW. This hits deep. Some of my best memories in gaming history all took place on those MMORPGs.
Lmao Runscape servers outlasted Chinese wow servers. Never would I have ever thought.
FFXI was truly amazing but they really messed up and sent the game in a downward spiral with WoTG dumpster fire expansion. The knee jerk game breaking Abyssea reaction revived and kept the game going for another 3 fun years and I basically quit after that. Got ebisu rod and a kraken club the two end game rare items I always wanted and to me felt like I beat the game and left. Voidwatch was a nothing burger. There has never been anything like FFXI. The freedom to play and beat stuff how you wanted with such diversity of choices to me is what made it fun and great. Also how they created the game to force community made it feel more like it's own world. Had so much fun low manning and solo/duoing everything. Pet solo/duoing was one of my most favorite things in the game BST and SMN were such a cool concept. I was so happy I could do so much in Abyssea with them, the 96% damage reduction with gear and atma was hilarious. Tried FF14 over the years but it's nothing like FF11, just a cosmetic chat room game, what really pissed me off was when I like most were gone between patches they stole my house I worked so hard for and everything in it.
For those who want a background on what happened to cause this lookup the article. "Activision Blizzard and NetEase’s feud, explained" it's pretty comprehensive in it's explanation.
Reminds me of the start of Overlord
This is actually insane. I couldn't imagine losing something for no reason after years and years. My heart goes out to them.
The less we do business with China the better.
Calm down
@TheClipChannel 10+ years of people lifes gone for no reason tho
Play RuneScape, Jagex will just randomly ban you for no reason after playing for 20 years, and there are no GMs. The Jmods will just say "Too bad, so sad, you did it" no matter what they accuse you of.
@TheClipChannel If you spend 10 years on a hobby and suddenly all your work disappears, that's a children's loss?
Are you seriously trying to gatekeep being sad right now?!
it gives me goosebumps seeing all the ppl there just knowing this is their last day of playing the game..
Playing the same RuneScape account since i was 12 in 2005. Just got completionist cape a few days ago. If I lost my account of 18 years I'd be pissed.
They just freed everyone from the matrix. Enjoy your freedom. I was addicted to dota for 10+ years. Great feeling not being so attached to that game anymore.
It's like watching people hug each other and hold hands while they die together
If you are a nolifer gamer, then this is literally what happens.
I went through the same stuff once, fuck it really is a heartbreaker.. I lost tons of online friends because of it there's this Korean MMO i really enjoyed playing then they had to shut down all of their servers because of an internal problem.. Their website dissappear entirely and we never heard from the devs since.
Asmon's chat triggers me so much in here cuz they don't know how it felt for these people.
if you think there stares million people on this dc screen and knows its over holy shit.
This feels reminiscent of when Asheron's Call shut down in 2017. Losing the ability to even have the opportunity to venture back into the world where so much time was invested and so many memories were made is heart wrenching.
I wanna give you a high five, daym AC takes me back

Damn Asherons Call was still going in 2017? 😮

This is heartbreaking. Truly. I just play Warframe, but if I lost it all like this… I can’t imagine. My heart goes out to them all.
There are countries banning Warframe. Its truly sad because of DE's decisions.😥
@@Desolator-ny7cb more like US government decisions force upon DE.
@@Desolator-ny7cb Wait, what decisions? Why are countries banning warframe?
@@doctorsnakeeater1997DE doesn't allow players to buy in the In-game store if their country's political standing is not good with DE.
Cuba, Iran, Syria, North Korea, the Crimea region, and the Donbas region including Belarus and Russia. In response some if not all of these countries banned Warframe outright.
tencent get warframe it should be safe no ?
That's got to hurt....
I used to play a game called materia magica. It took years to reach max level and get good equipment. I died in a chaotic player killing zone in a 2v1 to two other players. When you die in an area like this, you drop all of your equipment and the players loot it. I would walk around these areas in my best equipment because most players were too scared to do that so I could easily defend myself since I already had insane gear on. When I lost I just stood up, closed the game, and went skateboarding. 7 years.... 12 to 19... My entire teens.
I want my life back. I wish I didn't play so much video games. Video games are like the remote from the movie click.... You fast forward in time and there are no core memories to be had only descriptions of imaginary situations. It's truly sad. But it's ok. I live for tomorrow these days
cant imagine the money and just emotional investment man, regardless of views etc, seeing any game of this size get shut down completely or for one country fuckin blows man, and for many itll probs honestly cause depression etc, some people probs have set schedules where once a week they get on and raid etc etc, and now theyre gonna have ot find something else to do (im sure some comments will say they can touch grass etc) but genuinely filling that hole can be ahrd man especially if u played with many firends
That looked rather special, it's amazing seeing the gaming community come together and express themselves.
When Tera shut down, this is how I felt too. It hurts to lose a game you spent so much time in, challenging yourself and having fun with friends.
Tera deserved to be shut down
This btw would happen to retail if Asmongold had things go his way.
Thats so sad. I still have ptsd about loosing Moorwolf to my cousin. I miss my druid. I hope no one takes their own life over this. It will trigger alot of depression. Its a game to many and part of life for many.
This was beautiful, sad, tragic and resonant all at the same time... I appreciate all the players convening for a Grand send off... Well done, minions. Well done.
i feel this, i cried when nostalrius died and that was just ONE year.
ow i know this feeling very good , its just emotional , you had build so much over the years and then this happend, i had it with star wars galaxies , played for so many years and then the did shut it down!, Respect for the players!
My heart goes out to them, that really is terrible, hopefully there's an avenue in the works.
I played a not very popular MMO but which I personally liked a lot, I invested time in it but I knew that sooner or later it would close, when the population went down I had to prepare myself, when it was finally announced the closure, even knowing it hurt me. I can't imagine the players who trusted WoW and so suddenly lost their accounts. politics/blizzard/neteasy aside, feel bad for the players.
Wildstar?
Silk Road?
SWG :(
World of Warcraft (WoW) codes are locked to a specific region and cannot be changed. However, in April 2024, Blizzard announced that its games, including WoW, would return to mainland China in summer 2024 as part of a new licensing deal with NetEase. This will allow Chinese players to play WoW on Chinese servers.
image having a spectral tiger of 10k and losing it because of the servers shutdown lol you never safe with the items you buy in any online game if the servers shut down you lost that money.
what loser puts money into games?
Its like if the dinosaurs knew what was gonna happen and decided to hug it out before the meteor hit
This happened to me a few years ago when a Metin2 private server closed after 10 years of being online, was heartbreaking as fuck, it’s not only your character, it’s the people you met, the memories you’ve had.
