Thanks Kang for speaking for us. It was really scummy of WB to just announce this right after releasing a banner many people used a lot of keys on, and many players like myself have invested a lot of time, energy and financial resources because this is our escape from the disappointment of reality. We aren’t just players, but a community that just wants to demonstrate our love for a world that captivated our imagination and brought us so much joy. Though to be honest, if NE does not pick up the global servers, i will not be starting a new account there, because it is just gut wrenching to lose all the cards, furniture, progress and achievements I’ve accumulated over the past year. I thought I could trust WB with this brand, but now I see that trust was misplaced, as they are no better than the House of Mouse. Thanks for all your help over the last year Kang, you were a beacon for us on the global servers.
spending that much money on a game is stupid to begin with. People should take this as a life lesson and think twice before buying stupid shit over and over.

It may sound stupid or even absurd, but first I was in shock and then I burst into tears because of the news. I had NEVER been so fond of a game as HPMA, leaving aside the money invested, which in my case was not the worst thing! For me it was an escape from reality, a second life, even a social one, growing up, having a community, a family, your character adapted to your own personality, seeing your time go down the drain is totally what has broken my soul the most. HPMA was more than just a game…
I totally feel u, I am so attached to my character I've literally been building her and her outfits for well over a year she's like another part of me idk
I am with you completely. This is the only game I have ever liked in my life. After 5 minutes of shock I too started crying which also shocked me. Totally the -go to - to escape this shit world. Guess it just got a little worse
I’m trying to start over as well. I don’t mind starting over. I’m using Kang’s video and I’m kind of stuck at the credit card section which does not have a none selection I hope it works I’m so grateful for this video and all Kangs hard work
I’ve redownloaded the game by changing regions but whenever I try to open it up it plays the intro for a second and the app just closes. Did this happen to you too? Or when I try to change the server it just closes in me as well
This is simply absurd, but i really hope NetEase would just make an exception and take all of us in. Its so unfair to all of us who spend a lot money, time and effort into our accounts for them to simply shut it down. We are all really devastated with this news.
As much as I hope NetEase takes over, I doubt it. In order for them to take over, WB needs to co-operate. But considering that it's WB, it's highly unlikely that this happens. I really hope they do take over but it's not likely.
i’m not starting over, spend the same amount of money and take another year just to get back to where I am now at 110 spell book i’m not wasting my time with warner Brothers ever again
wb already proved their careless attitude towards their players along the way, now instead of finding a way to somehow suggest players something in return they decide to randomly shut it down, why not lets do it. I still hope netease will give our servers a shelter
Man I was SB 117 and played everyday for 1 year and even bought around 12 magical pass 30$ each that hurts. Why is it so complicated to just transfer accounts from wb to netease 🤧
I’m so sad, I’ve been playing since May 24th and my book is already level 82… I’ve spent a lot of time as a lot of people and I have a lot of friends… it’s unfair… if only we could transfer our progression to Asian servers… at least :(
I wake up to WB shutting down the game? Are they serious. I'm F2P, but i spent a lot of time in my account since release, and now all my hard work is going down the drain.
Hope netese get all our accounts like refugies or something 😅.. no chance to restart a game 1 year 2 months lost its a lot of work and lucky gachas 🤷🏿♀️
I already requested a refund and said it was due to fraud I spent nearly $200 in three week I wan only on the game for mayb e a month when I payed my last payment they sent a letter saying all the bs seriously think we should take them out of business if every one of us that payed writhing last 90 days get refund from Apple the game is no longer on the Apple app so obviously the game don’t exist anymore so I should get my refund I’m not to worried but I do wanna try and get on the other servers
Games shut down all the time. What makes this worse then most is that we pvp against another server that's staying up and WB didn't even bother to work something out to transfer the accounts to NE. Google/Apple needs to have this situation explained why refunds are 100% valid.
This is so frustrating!! I’ve been playing this game everyday since it came out on global and I’m ftp. No way I’m restarting all the time I invested in this game just because WB can’t run a game and has a HUGE problem with greed.
Thanks for speaking for our frustrations :,) it means a lot that our fustration isn’t misplaced when we spend all our love and time in this game. By the way, I want to thank you for the guide from the lake season!
Thank you for sharing so much information with us Kang. I really don't want to start from scratch, so much time, effort and money invested... it was a good experience in spite of everything. Thank you very much for everything Kang, greetings from Mexico.
I am a player from china mainland,we didn't receive the news,seems like it's wb question,and also we hate wb,it always required netease worker change the gorgeous special effects makes them look more austere.and always stop netease from following through on their original plan.by the way the taiwan server may managed by netease and may not be shutted down(but it need to start again i feel sorry to hear that).hope after hb give up the game netease can offer the better experience.(and also the high price in hpma is hb required not netease)
@@Perfecteditss not clear.but yesterday netease send a mail says mainland server will continue and also indicate will give assistance to international player.but how to help and when is not to mention.😂😂😂
@@Perfecteditss change your region on App Store or download an APK. I’m personally liking NE better than WB (I restarted, and judging by where I am now, I’ll probably sb 75 by the time I reach year 4, compared to my previous sb 67).
I was shocked, when i saw the Massage 2h ago. Im really rallye sad, because this game was my hideaway from reality last months, and i love the herbologist Feature 😢 Thank you very much for advices ❤
I propose going to each WB game and hate-telling them to be careful with this company's games and not to invest anything because they could close it down without giving you any option.
This is so upsetting! I’m so mad, this had become my escape in these past months and have invested tons and tons of time and a bit of money on this game. It’s a good game, it’s entertaining, it works fine! Why are they shutting it down? Please let’s all write to NetEase and wb to save our game
Thanks Kang! I'm from the Occamy server and I was very worried. Me and my clan are devastated with the news because we even held tournaments with other clubs to move the community. We all want to keep playing, so you help us a lot! On behalf of InfernoClub, we thank you very much. And we are all your followers, we will join your discord... I repeat, thank you very much. 😢
So just a small update for anyone who recently spent money on the game, try requesting a refund for any purchases you made. I sent 27 refund requests (totaling around $600 that i spent within the last two months) i was just refunded everything by apple. my purchases went as far back as July 2nd by the way. hope this helps. good luck yall.
@@anoja31 I just told them the truth, that We were told that the American servers we're closing with no prior warning, There was no warning signs that they we're closing the servers since they even pushed out new content. I told them that I sent in a ticket asking if my account could be transferred to the Asian servers and they refused. Essentially deleting my account. we we're under the assumption that the game would continue, people we're making purchases based on this assumption. This is completely unethical to just randomly shut down the servers without allowing us to transfer our information to another server (didn't write this part in the description just saying). they're essentially taking my recently spent money and running with it.
Anything within 90 days can get refunded I and currently going through my refund I been playing for a little less then a months and spent nearly $200 I pretty sure I’m getting it back I’m not to worried now I want to still play the game
I've dropped my copy of hogwarts legacy into a magibullet, un-installed hpma, next up is to give away the blue rays and shred the house uniform... after this one I'm done with the Wizarding world for good, thank you Kang for all your tips and help, you're the realest dude on your continent 😢 I'll miss you
Before we didn't have keys were using the book rolls. Before we didn't have those gacha events only wheels and direct sales of clothes, same as monthly cards 680 of jewel. All of our wands and outfits have special effects to make them look even cooler.
Honestly it’s one of the most disgusting actions towards all the fans. There was no communication or even explanation from WB at all and it really feels like a damn scam. It’s pretty unfair and I don’t see who would actually benefit from this. Lots of people lost their money and feel betrayed, yet WB‘s reputation won’t shine bright after this awful performance.
NetEase doesn't usually shut down games. NE has had great success with this game and still has tons of competition. So I don't think they will shut down the game anytime soon like WB did. Frankly, the WB server has been dead for months, even though it's a newer version than TW.
Im really sad watching this, i cant believe this amazing game is shutting down, i have so much fun every day. So the netease version will stay up or will close down as well?

@@SmallKangKang for real really focus on the game more than the coop so the news hits harder. Im searching for the apk on qooapp but theres like three versions but the asia looks like os the netease, can you confirm that to me or should i download the chinese version?
@@SmallKangKangThat's what hurts us all... WB wants changes so that in less than 1 year it can close the servers... It basically used us all as a bridge to make money and then throw it away!
Those who are playing on iOS, you can message apple and request refund for max half a year spendings. I did that when one of the games I played shut down and they returned everything.
Thank you Kang for alway helping us with the game. It’s nice you are giving tips on how to keep this game running, but I’m not changing my phone settings to Japanese for a game. This morning when I read the info about the closing I took some screenshots and deleted the game. It’s sad and I’ve played it several times daily, but life will go on without it. I’ll never download or install anything by WB. Trust! Thank you ❤️
Hello Kang, well, I'm from Latin America, given the imminent change I can only thank you throughout this year that I was playing, you really made a lot of things easier for me in terms of decks, passing levels, history and everything else, I wish you the best in everything and I hope you continue to grow as a content creator, you do incredible work and very good dedication. Thanks you mate 💕✌️🥹
I’m not changing the region on my phone but is there any point in keeping the game after year 4 ends? It already takes up a lot of storage so after it shuts down I might just delete it
I guess wb was tired of ravenclaw winning the house cup. All jokes aside I logged everyday except one. I spent many hours on this game. I spent plenty of money on the game. So much wasted now. I even waited 2yrs for this damn game to come out. Smfh
My English isn't that good and I don't know much about it, but if I understand correctly: If Netease doesn't take over the server, then there's no other chance than to start over. I play on Android. Kang what do you recommend? Should I download the PC version or should I stick with Android? Do you have a good VPN that you can recommend? And thank you for making so much effort to help everyone.( ˃̥̥̥ ﹏ ˂̥̥̥ )و ❤
@@SmallKangKang Oh, that's right, a VPN hides your real location and shows the desired one. That's why I need it for both options. With Netease that wouldn't be necessary. OK, now I've got it, thanks. =D
Thank you, Kang I was not ready to say goodbye to thus amazing game, even my Herbologist career. I will try it all over again because I love it so much, the only thing I'm worried about is the in-game group activities. And I did loose all my vanity boxes, which is so sad but I'll recover ❤
Man, this sucks 😮💨 (My server is Occamy). I'm gonna play till' the end of the current season - until then I'll decide whether to move to NetEase ver or just drop the game completely.
Games like this unfortunately don't last forever. When you invest, you are aware that one day it will end 😭 I played khux for years, spent money and was part of one of the highest ranked guilds... When it closed it broke my heart but nothing could be done. Now the same thing happens with hpma, get angry if you need to but don't ruin your mental health. I hug you all ❤️
Hey Kang! I’m wondering if you could email Netease since you’re a big content creator for them, and maybe help rally people to start sending emails. The petition is good; but I think it’s important that they start getting a flood of emails from people wanting their accounts transferred. It will help them realize that it’s worth it for them to take us on. Thank you ❤
Hey WB, I’m your attempt to make more profits, you’re undercutting the brand, and the exposure to the brand which would bring in more money, even if the game isn’t making enough. The other HP items I buy because I love HP has mostly come from playing the game. The game keeps people engaged in the brand which makes you more money in the long run than not having the game and pissing people off. But it looks like the company isn’t smart enough to play the long game. Good luck in having anyone trust your brand again.
First this so called warner bros produce hype then they provide us the total garabge product and then they close the servers without giving refund to all the players
Just made it to spell book level 109 and they pull this bs. Really thought we would see 7 years of this game at least. They knew they were planning to shut the game down months ago and still let people spend their hard earned money. Shame on WB.
Followed all your steps but when selecting "NONE" it wont complete saying current payment is not valid in this store. When i try to download it says account not valid for use in Japanese store.
This is probably the worst thing that has ever happened. I loved this game and now you can't get it unless you live in Asia or something. Its unavailable in America and Europe. I mean, what were WB even thinking of?!?!?
You can follow this video to download the NE version and follow another video to transfer your account. ua-cam.com/video/mllrifHIZYI/v-deo.html Or wait for the official announcement of the account transfer.
Quick question for those who play the Netease version of the game and on their PC. Do I need to worry about the Netease version of HPMA downloading virus or something of the sorts on to my PC if I choose to download it on my PC? I’ve never played any of Netease’s games before and I had previously played the WB version of HPMA on my phone.
i don't know if I'll have the heart to restart the game and all the achievement I made... Moreover, I read that the asian server are at season 17-18 and we were at the 8th... Like there's so much gap... It's shitty we cant swap serv, but again with the gap it would be useless and better to start over but we start over from a lot
I have my account through netease on my laptop ( Zouwu Server) . But it’s not the same playing on the laptop. My main account is the one with higher cards and all the cool stuff ( clothes, wands , furniture) ugh… life is unfair
Considering WB players were all on phone/tablet, they weren't very good. So this will make the competition harder for us as we won't get easy wins against WB players anymore.
I used to enjoy playing that game, now I'm just sad and angry. I spent lots of hours and money, creating this character, I don't want to create a new one. On October 29th I'll turn 30 years old and it will be my saddest birthday. This sucks. I signed all the petitions I could find for transferring the profiles, but I don't think that we stand a chance. So frustrating.
@Kang I Tried Your IOS Method…. And It The Steps Worked Up Until The Point The Video Cuts lol! Once I Go To The App Store And Try To Download, It Says My Account Is Not Valid For Use In The Japanese Store 😔 Any TroubleShooting Tips?? I Only Have IPhone And MacBook….
@@SmallKangKangI got it downloading! I think I needed to connect my keyboard to correct Japanese Keyboard. At first I think it let me into the JP shop but it didn’t save my location I think. (For anyone having the same issue) 😊 fingers crossed I get in fully. Thanks Kang
Thank you Kang, For any creation of a new account ios or any change of localisation they ask me to verificate by message text or call... I see lot of people don't have this final step, someone have solution ?
Hello Kang, That explains why they stopped translating the game into French (my language) and a few others like Italian and Portuguese. To think that I sent 2 tickets in the last 3 weeks for the translation and that in fact, they were planning to close. I have an Android phone... I'm not yet decided to start from the beginning. 1 year of play will be hard to catch up. And the story will not be in my native language, it will be difficult for me to understand. I'm thinking about it. But I have a question, can I have the APK version at the same time as the WB version on my android phone? Or not. thanks for the video
I'm honestly upset this game had so much potential, I'm not gonna lie usually I'm not a fan of mobile games but I spent a ton of hours grinding and little bit of spending money on this game
Are we Westerners closing our servers while it continues to remain in China? No, IT MUST BE CLOSED THERE TOO because that's where the main problem Is! Or at least make it offline but playable with the whole story (1-5 years) Enough with these useless servers
It will not give me the NONE option on my iPad which is where I play this game and use it for other subscription items such as MS WORD. I don’t know how I can make the change you’ve outlined. Any further help would be appreciated. I do not want to start this entire game over from day 1. I’ll quit entirely if I can’t continue to play. This isn’t my life. It’s just lots of fun.

I’m trying to start over as well. I don’t mind starting over. I’m using Kang’s video and I’m kind of stuck at the credit card section which does not have a none selection I hope it works I’m so grateful for this video and all Kangs hard work
@@jasperjack8443 you just try again and again. It should appear
I’ve redownloaded the game by changing regions but whenever I try to open it up it plays the intro for a second and the app just closes. Did this happen to you too? Or when I try to change the server it just closes in me as well
This is simply absurd, but i really hope NetEase would just make an exception and take all of us in. Its so unfair to all of us who spend a lot money, time and effort into our accounts for them to simply shut it down. We are all really devastated with this news.
As much as I hope NetEase takes over, I doubt it. In order for them to take over, WB needs to co-operate. But considering that it's WB, it's highly unlikely that this happens. I really hope they do take over but it's not likely.
They might open new global servers
I'm just glad i never spent a single dollar in the game, wb doesn't deserve it
They also shut down Wizards Unite the same way. Portkey and Warner Brothers have lost all credibility with me.
Boycott their upcoming quidditch game
i’m not starting over, spend the same amount of money and take another year just to get back to where I am now at 110 spell book i’m not wasting my time with warner Brothers ever again
wb already proved their careless attitude towards their players along the way, now instead of finding a way to somehow suggest players something in return they decide to randomly shut it down, why not lets do it. I still hope netease will give our servers a shelter
I wish we could have a transfer system in place like how Nintendo did with the Wii transfer all your saved data to Wii U.
Or something close to it.
Man I was SB 117 and played everyday for 1 year and even bought around 12 magical pass 30$ each that hurts. Why is it so complicated to just transfer accounts from wb to netease 🤧
exactly!!
Its cuz they profit off ur loss. Some ppl will spend money to regain their stuff.
@@Shapeshifter_V dw i'm transfered now :)
I’m so sad, I’ve been playing since May 24th and my book is already level 82… I’ve spent a lot of time as a lot of people and I have a lot of friends… it’s unfair… if only we could transfer our progression to Asian servers… at least :(
WB
I wake up to WB shutting down the game? Are they serious. I'm F2P, but i spent a lot of time in my account since release, and now all my hard work is going down the drain.
I feel you same here... 💔🥺
🫂
Hope netese get all our accounts like refugies or something 😅.. no chance to restart a game 1 year 2 months lost its a lot of work and lucky gachas 🤷🏿♀️
Ask your banks for refunds. Tell them WB scammed you after making it sound like the game will be alive for years.
I already requested a refund and said it was due to fraud I spent nearly $200 in three week I wan only on the game for mayb e a month when I payed my last payment they sent a letter saying all the bs seriously think we should take them out of business if every one of us that payed writhing last 90 days get refund from Apple the game is no longer on the Apple app so obviously the game don’t exist anymore so I should get my refund I’m not to worried but I do wanna try and get on the other servers
If they're going to shut the game down, why do they bother adding new content?
To Rip us off some more.
Games shut down all the time. What makes this worse then most is that we pvp against another server that's staying up and WB didn't even bother to work something out to transfer the accounts to NE. Google/Apple needs to have this situation explained why refunds are 100% valid.
This is so frustrating!! I’ve been playing this game everyday since it came out on global and I’m ftp. No way I’m restarting all the time I invested in this game just because WB can’t run a game and has a HUGE problem with greed.
Thanks for speaking for our frustrations :,) it means a lot that our fustration isn’t misplaced when we spend all our love and time in this game. By the way, I want to thank you for the guide from the lake season!
thank you
Thank you for sharing so much information with us Kang. I really don't want to start from scratch, so much time, effort and money invested... it was a good experience in spite of everything. Thank you very much for everything Kang, greetings from Mexico.
I am a player from china mainland,we didn't receive the news,seems like it's wb question,and also we hate wb,it always required netease worker change the gorgeous special effects makes them look more austere.and always stop netease from following through on their original plan.by the way the taiwan server may managed by netease and may not be shutted down(but it need to start again i feel sorry to hear that).hope after hb give up the game netease can offer the better experience.(and also the high price in hpma is hb required not netease)
Is it available in india?
I can't find it in play store
@@Perfecteditssit has been taken down
@@Perfecteditss not clear.but yesterday netease send a mail says mainland server will continue and also indicate will give assistance to international player.but how to help and when is not to mention.😂😂😂
@@Perfecteditss change your region on App Store or download an APK. I’m personally liking NE better than WB (I restarted, and judging by where I am now, I’ll probably sb 75 by the time I reach year 4, compared to my previous sb 67).
I was shocked, when i saw the Massage 2h ago. Im really rallye sad, because this game was my hideaway from reality last months, and i love the herbologist Feature 😢
Thank you very much for advices ❤
I was shocked too
I propose going to each WB game and hate-telling them to be careful with this company's games and not to invest anything because they could close it down without giving you any option.
This is so upsetting! I’m so mad, this had become my escape in these past months and have invested tons and tons of time and a bit of money on this game. It’s a good game, it’s entertaining, it works fine! Why are they shutting it down? Please let’s all write to NetEase and wb to save our game
I don't think I'll start over. Thanks for everything, Kang. You were one of the best ambassadors.
Thanks Kang! I'm from the Occamy server and I was very worried. Me and my clan are devastated with the news because we even held tournaments with other clubs to move the community. We all want to keep playing, so you help us a lot! On behalf of InfernoClub, we thank you very much. And we are all your followers, we will join your discord... I repeat, thank you very much. 😢
I may try using the pc vetsion through Netease account. Start from scratch oh well...
Never playing a WB game again. And no way I'm starting over from scratch unless my account is transferred.
I'm devastated, I've been enjoying the game in my spare time; the history was captivating me. It's a sad new but well, life goes on...
I am so sad about all the progress made and now if I would go to NE I would have to start from the beginning 😢
I would never start over!😢
im heartbroken 😔
So just a small update for anyone who recently spent money on the game, try requesting a refund for any purchases you made. I sent 27 refund requests (totaling around $600 that i spent within the last two months) i was just refunded everything by apple.
my purchases went as far back as July 2nd by the way. hope this helps. good luck yall.
What reason did you put in the description box?
@@anoja31 I just told them the truth, that We were told that the American servers we're closing with no prior warning, There was no warning signs that they we're closing the servers since they even pushed out new content. I told them that I sent in a ticket asking if my account could be transferred to the Asian servers and they refused. Essentially deleting my account.
we we're under the assumption that the game would continue, people we're making purchases based on this assumption. This is completely unethical to just randomly shut down the servers without allowing us to transfer our information to another server (didn't write this part in the description just saying). they're essentially taking my recently spent money and running with it.
Anything within 90 days can get refunded I and currently going through my refund I been playing for a little less then a months and spent nearly $200 I pretty sure I’m getting it back I’m not to worried now I want to still play the game
Lol WB will release new Harry Potter game called Harry Potter : Quidditch Champions. It will release on September 3. Very funny 😭👌
I will never play another WB game. Been burned by them twice with HPWU and now HPMA. They can shove their stupid Quidditch game - I’m done
I've dropped my copy of hogwarts legacy into a magibullet, un-installed hpma, next up is to give away the blue rays and shred the house uniform... after this one I'm done with the Wizarding world for good, thank you Kang for all your tips and help, you're the realest dude on your continent 😢 I'll miss you
what did WB ask to change ?
Before we didn't have keys were using the book rolls. Before we didn't have those gacha events only wheels and direct sales of clothes, same as monthly cards 680 of jewel. All of our wands and outfits have special effects to make them look even cooler.
Honestly it’s one of the most disgusting actions towards all the fans.
There was no communication or even explanation from WB at all and it really feels like a damn scam. It’s pretty unfair and I don’t see who would actually benefit from this.
Lots of people lost their money and feel betrayed, yet WB‘s reputation won’t shine bright after this awful performance.
Thank you for always speaking up for us, Kang. I’m sad to not play the game any more, but I’ll always stay subscribed. You’re a gem!
Ooooh there you are my girl. Gonna miss your streams 🥲
@@BrilleetoileI will miss this community so much. Streaming this game on Twitch for the last year has been an absolute treat. 💔
@@peaceandpretty We'll miss you too. Will you stream Hogwarts Legacy ?
@@Brilleetoile oh yes. I’ll have more time for it now lol
I wanted to have Black Dragon Trainer outfit , now im going to lose my account , unbelievable..
Same, I so badly wanted that Black Dragon Tamer outfit.
I wonder how long NE version will last before being shut
NetEase doesn't usually shut down games. NE has had great success with this game and still has tons of competition. So I don't think they will shut down the game anytime soon like WB did. Frankly, the WB server has been dead for months, even though it's a newer version than TW.
@@SmallKangKang If Hogwarts Mystery is still running after 6 years then I'd expect HPMA to at least last 6 years lol
Guys, forget about these freaks' as terrible dream, ask for a refund and never EVER play the WB games again
Im really sad watching this, i cant believe this amazing game is shutting down, i have so much fun every day.
So the netease version will stay up or will close down as well?

@@SmallKangKang for real really focus on the game more than the coop so the news hits harder.
Im searching for the apk on qooapp but theres like three versions but the asia looks like os the netease, can you confirm that to me or should i download the chinese version?
@@SmallKangKangThat's what hurts us all... WB wants changes so that in less than 1 year it can close the servers... It basically used us all as a bridge to make money and then throw it away!
I’m so heartbroken and sad this game was my “go to” game. 😢💔
I am still devasted i was in mooncalf🥺🤦🏻♀️
I mean, they lost a lot of bad and tops player, bad for them. Hope in netease but we all know that’s impossible
Those who are playing on iOS, you can message apple and request refund for max half a year spendings. I did that when one of the games I played shut down and they returned everything.
But if we switch to Japan I don’t think we can apple is requiring my CC info
where did you write him the message?
@@federicavottero google apple support
Thank you so much Kahn for helping us, we are devastated by this vile attitude of the WB.😔
Thank you Kang ❤
You're welcome. I can't do much. Just try my best
Thank you Kang for alway helping us with the game. It’s nice you are giving tips on how to keep this game running, but I’m not changing my phone settings to Japanese for a game.
This morning when I read the info about the closing I took some screenshots and deleted the game.
It’s sad and I’ve played it several times daily, but life will go on without it.
I’ll never download or install anything by WB. Trust! Thank you ❤️
Please Kang, there's got to be a little hope, something to do. I love so much my MC... I'm so sad. :(
Hello Kang, well, I'm from Latin America, given the imminent change I can only thank you throughout this year that I was playing, you really made a lot of things easier for me in terms of decks, passing levels, history and everything else, I wish you the best in everything and I hope you continue to grow as a content creator, you do incredible work and very good dedication. Thanks you mate 💕✌️🥹
Thank you so much for this tutorial! I seriously appreciate your videos keeping me up to date.
I’m not changing the region on my phone but is there any point in keeping the game after year 4 ends? It already takes up a lot of storage so after it shuts down I might just delete it
Delete it when the game shuts down there is no need to keep it when it is Dead.
I guess wb was tired of ravenclaw winning the house cup. All jokes aside I logged everyday except one. I spent many hours on this game. I spent plenty of money on the game. So much wasted now. I even waited 2yrs for this damn game to come out. Smfh
I can't stop crying....
My English isn't that good and I don't know much about it, but if I understand correctly: If Netease doesn't take over the server, then there's no other chance than to start over. I play on Android. Kang what do you recommend? Should I download the PC version or should I stick with Android? Do you have a good VPN that you can recommend? And thank you for making so much effort to help everyone.( ˃̥̥̥ ﹏ ˂̥̥̥ )و ❤
You can download both PC and APK on you phone. You can use the same account
@@SmallKangKang Oh, that's right, a VPN hides your real location and shows the desired one. That's why I need it for both options. With Netease that wouldn't be necessary. OK, now I've got it, thanks. =D
Thank you, Kang I was not ready to say goodbye to thus amazing game, even my Herbologist career. I will try it all over again because I love it so much, the only thing I'm worried about is the in-game group activities. And I did loose all my vanity boxes, which is so sad but I'll recover ❤
Man, this sucks 😮💨 (My server is Occamy). I'm gonna play till' the end of the current season - until then I'll decide whether to move to NetEase ver or just drop the game completely.
I feel you same here... 💔
🫂
Games like this unfortunately don't last forever. When you invest, you are aware that one day it will end 😭 I played khux for years, spent money and was part of one of the highest ranked guilds... When it closed it broke my heart but nothing could be done. Now the same thing happens with hpma, get angry if you need to but don't ruin your mental health. I hug you all ❤️
Hey Kang! I’m wondering if you could email Netease since you’re a big content creator for them, and maybe help rally people to start sending emails. The petition is good; but I think it’s important that they start getting a flood of emails from people wanting their accounts transferred. It will help them realize that it’s worth it for them to take us on. Thank you ❤
I wanna sign petition where is it I give my signature to support
Hey WB, I’m your attempt to make more profits, you’re undercutting the brand, and the exposure to the brand which would bring in more money, even if the game isn’t making enough. The other HP items I buy because I love HP has mostly come from playing the game. The game keeps people engaged in the brand which makes you more money in the long run than not having the game and pissing people off. But it looks like the company isn’t smart enough to play the long game. Good luck in having anyone trust your brand again.
First this so called warner bros produce hype then they provide us the total garabge product and then they close the servers without giving refund to all the players
So after downloading the net ease version, we have to make a brand new account right? Our old account will be gone?
Yes
I'm sorry, but for now the answer is yes.
Will they even continue to update the story in the remaining servers? Or is it just done with? There was so much more story to tell..
That's what am worried about will the story continue?, or are we cut off completely.
for the IOS method at the end, can we immediately change the region back afterwards? And will it effect any apps I currently have on my phone?
After you download the game, you can change it back
@@SmallKangKang thank you so much! 💕
Just made it to spell book level 109 and they pull this bs. Really thought we would see 7 years of this game at least. They knew they were planning to shut the game down months ago and still let people spend their hard earned money. Shame on WB.
Followed all your steps but when selecting "NONE" it wont complete saying current payment is not valid in this store. When i try to download it says account not valid for use in Japanese store.
Same. It keeps saying I can’t download from the Japanese store😤
ive tried re-setting 100x and 'none' never pops up as an option for IOS... what do i do?
This is probably the worst thing that has ever happened. I loved this game and now you can't get it unless you live in Asia or something. Its unavailable in America and Europe. I mean, what were WB even thinking of?!?!?
You can follow this video to download the NE version and follow another video to transfer your account. ua-cam.com/video/mllrifHIZYI/v-deo.html Or wait for the official announcement of the account transfer.
So once I change my region and download the game can I change my region back to U.S and still be able to play??
Yes.
Quick question for those who play the Netease version of the game and on their PC. Do I need to worry about the Netease version of HPMA downloading virus or something of the sorts on to my PC if I choose to download it on my PC? I’ve never played any of Netease’s games before and I had previously played the WB version of HPMA on my phone.
I spent like 500 dollars on the game 😭
i don't know if I'll have the heart to restart the game and all the achievement I made... Moreover, I read that the asian server are at season 17-18 and we were at the 8th... Like there's so much gap... It's shitty we cant swap serv, but again with the gap it would be useless and better to start over but we start over from a lot
I have my account through netease on my laptop ( Zouwu Server) . But it’s not the same playing on the laptop. My main account is the one with higher cards and all the cool stuff ( clothes, wands , furniture) ugh… life is unfair
so kang you mean delete wb server and download NE and start a new game ? NE won't save our accounts?
:`(
You don't need to delete it. But if you still want to play the game. The only way to do that is to create an NE account or buy a
Lol , i wanted Black Dragon Trainer outfit , now im going to lose my raven shadows and all of my account :`)@@SmallKangKang
Kang , will NE buy our server's data??? Will they save us ??? Or not?????@@SmallKangKang
How will this affect NE players in pvp? I believe this will affect Netease player base negative as well.
Considering WB players were all on phone/tablet, they weren't very good. So this will make the competition harder for us as we won't get easy wins against WB players anymore.
@@arandombard1197 And waiting time?
@@AmaliaGranath Obviously worse, although I mostly play at MA and I don't think there are many WB players at my level anyway.
Maybe a little longer pending time
Boycott portkey games
Will they be refunding all the purchases Americans have made? Because the amount that I gave is ridiculous.
@@haunter8661 check another video for refund
The problem is that there is a global launch, when it is launched it brings together all of its servers.
Guess this is goodbye then, thank you for all the wonderful vids kang
I used to enjoy playing that game, now I'm just sad and angry. I spent lots of hours and money, creating this character, I don't want to create a new one. On October 29th I'll turn 30 years old and it will be my saddest birthday. This sucks. I signed all the petitions I could find for transferring the profiles, but I don't think that we stand a chance. So frustrating.
Kang, I'm from Mexico. Which server do you recommend? Ashwinder, Phoenix ou unicorn?
Ashwinder, if you speak English.

Thank you Kang,
For any creation of a new account ios or any change of localisation they ask me to verificate by message text or call...
I see lot of people don't have this final step, someone have solution ?
Hello Kang,
That explains why they stopped translating the game into French (my language) and a few others like Italian and Portuguese.
To think that I sent 2 tickets in the last 3 weeks for the translation and that in fact, they were planning to close.
I have an Android phone... I'm not yet decided to start from the beginning. 1 year of play will be hard to catch up. And the story will not be in my native language, it will be difficult for me to understand. I'm thinking about it.
But I have a question, can I have the APK version at the same time as the WB version on my android phone? Or not.
thanks for the video
I'm honestly upset this game had so much potential, I'm not gonna lie usually I'm not a fan of mobile games but I spent a ton of hours grinding and little bit of spending money on this game
😭😭😭 Whyyyy whyyyy whyyy. Who would do such a thing😭😭😭
Are we Westerners closing our servers while it continues to remain in China? No, IT MUST BE CLOSED THERE TOO because that's where the main problem Is!
Or at least make it offline but playable with the whole story (1-5 years)
Enough with these useless servers
