Thread: So Aegis is closing down

Oh well... Since i got to Nutaku i only played 1 game: LoV, then Aigis came so i played them both, i played both every day until LoV closed so i only played Aigis until now.

Honestly that's it for me, Aigis was the only game that kept me coming back but now all those months of invested time are going to the thrash can. Starting over on DMM is tempting but honestly Aigis demise was mainly because of neglecting devs and those are on DMM, they didn't give a fuck about eng Aigis for the longest time and so it died

Farewell internet games, i will remember you kindly

DMM explicitly allowed 18+ online games to foreigners like year ago.

Also, they already have needed tools in place, as they do manual account backups or rollbacks sometimes. But there are legal issues plus whole "act only within guidelines and rules" thing, so most likely support guy who deals with user mail will just copy-paste some pre-defined answer instead escalating issue to boss and then boss allowing custom, not allowed in advance by his boss, actions. Still, worth a try I guess, but one needs to contact japanese side via DMM inquiry, not nutaku side.

^this

I understand that there is a lot of salt going around right now. I'm pretty sure the Aigis dev team wanted this to work out, as they would not have bothered in the first place. Pretty sure that for every xenophobic idiot, there are many more that either don't care or actually like the idea of expanding into a new market.

is funny to me that even though the game is literally dead in the water it's still not at the bottom of the rankings. how fucking bad is narborion?

For me the music completely turned me away and the art style really wans't to my taste. The game play failed to grab my attention too.

Narborion suxs and it's fugly

Sad to see another game gone but I guess that is the way of the western world. Not many games live very long for us because we simply do not spend on them enough t o keep them live.

Shame that people are blaming Nutaku for a game closure tho, that's like blaming Steam for a game like COD closing their servers... not like Nutaku had any say in the matter, and if their blog is to be believed they did convince the devs to keep the game open another year and a half.

On that note... I legit thought that Aigis HAD closed a year ago.... there was so much talk about it closing that I was sure it had or was just about too so I ended up not playing it.

Who was the western Dev for that game by the way? Anyone know?

1.) Let us transfer the game to DMM. I don't know the specifics of why they cannot, but if it involves players being on "uneven ground" so to say, as the English MWA has different events and whatnot, that's dumb.

2.) Give us our money back in Nutaku Gold, not this crummy promotional gifts for new games that we may or may not get into.

3.) Let us download a cached version of MWA, so we can keep playing or something.

1: DMM is not the western DEV of this game tho, they would have no reason to add extra players from around the world to their servers and increase load. If western players are not spending enough to keep the western dev in business then they are not spending enough for DMM to want.

2: You did not buy anything from Nutaku when you spent money on this game, you bought from the Dev who is closing down. This is the same as playing something like EVE Online through Steam... even if you use cash from your steam wallet (like nutaku gold on nutaku) it's not buying content from steam but from CCP the Devs of EVE. Therefore Nutaku owe you the player nothing because it was not their game, likewise DMM owe you nothing because while they own the content they do not own the western version of the game.

3: I don't have enough knowledge to comment on this other then to say that it's likely that the server side of the game is quite resource intensive and might not be able to run correctly on just a home PC system.
