The MMORPG Worlds Adrift is coming to an end. Today the gates close, but it will be celebrated with a big party.
Why is Worlds Adrift closing? As the developers have already explained, the MMORPG just couldn’t achieve the success that the team had hoped for and which would have been necessary for long-term operation.
Furthermore, the development simply took too long and focused too much on the functionality of the game and too little on exciting content. The problem with griefers was something the developers could never really get under control. Constant attacks robbed newcomers of the fun right from the start.
In the end, the team had no choice but to cease operations now.
The end is coming soon
When do the gates close? Today marks the end. However, Worlds Adrift invites all players to participate in a big party.
This party starts today around 4 PM. It will last about six hours and then the lights will go out. After that, fans of Worlds Adrift will have to say goodbye.
What can players expect from the party? The developers promise it will be a very special event. The end of the world will be celebrated appropriately.
How are the fans reacting? Players are sad because they have already developed an emotional bond with the MMORPG and actually found the game quite good. They want to gather one last time for the party to give Worlds Adrift the worthy farewell it deserves.
These games also said goodbye with an event
Worlds Adrift is not the only MMORPG that has said goodbye to its community with a big event.
Final Fantasy XIV: The first version of the MMORPG was released in 2010 but could not captivate the fans. Therefore, the version was discontinued at the end of 2012. The developers made meteors and even the moon rain down on the fantasy world of Hydaelyn, and huge armies clashed. Subsequently, the world was reborn in the new version of FF14.
Wildstar: On November 28, 2018, the MMORPG Wildstar bid farewell. In the last weeks, many events took place, including hoverboard races and EXP boosts, to ensure that players could have a great time at the end.
Devilian: The action RPG was closed in March 2018. Players of the online game gathered together at the end in the game to celebrate one last, big party together. The end was then rather unspectacular with a “Stopped Working” error message.
