    I'd like to being up this alarming issue concerning SEA Servers which were franchised or powered by Friendster, namely Khalys and Sigris servers. We received the official announcement that they are shutting down on May 22, 2015. Hearing this news breaks my heart as well as to my fellow players in the said servers.

    For reference, here's the link:

    What I'd like to say is that this is really unfair. After all the time spent in building our characters, some of us invested monies and effort - they are now saying that it's time to close the server. I hope that this is not the end for us playing this awesome game. If any GM or admin from the official server sees this message, please migrate or transfer us to other servers instead. I should say that there's approximately a thousand players in both servers and I'm sure the BP will earn income from us. Practically speaking, we love to play this game. We love to hang out with out fellow players as well as meet new friends. So I'm pleading to all DSO GMs or admins to at least adopt us to your servers instead.

    This is a Friedster issue and you might want to post on their site. Unless there is something I do not know about each server is owned by the partner and all funds they collect they use on the servers they have. Unfortunate is it may be there will be a lot of gamers that will have to start over. I do wish you well in your adventures.

    Well after this info was released ... it make sense.
    Friendster failed to promote the game. With all those ridiculous drop rates, ridiculous events, ridiculous prizes ... etc ... you can't expect to keep the players or to get a new ones.
    You will have to start over and create accounts on the real DSO server with the real DSO game not some hybrid.

    I get you and fully understand the pain of losing a character you spent a lot of time on, but that's how games work.

    No matter how much money you guys spent it has been lost forever. As Trakilaki says there's no other way then to make a new account on Heredur, Tegan, etc whatever. :)

    Besides creating a new account on the real server, you could also try to:

    - Gather a lot of players who played on the Khalys server who are willing to pay, figure out how much, and get contact to the boss's in Germany. Money talks you know. ;) Lol.

    Sorry for you... :)

    Also, with respect to transfering the existing toons to an existing server, there are two problems with this.

    First, transfers aren't even possible between BP owned and operated servers, let alone between a BP server and a third party server.

    Second, it wouldn't be remotely fair. As a partner, they had power to set the drop rates and they set them crazy high. There are people on the real servers who have farmed for certain uniques for months or longer but had no luck (i.e. Mortis/Khalys/Destructor) where as the drops on the Friendster would be considered common by our standards. So, is it really fair that a toon that experienced crazy high drops would get dropped into a server where we don't have those sort of drops?
     
  6. @ UndΣrdσg You have our sympathy, but there is nothing we can do for you here in the forum. The Friendster DSO is a franchise. It is run independent of Big Point. If we hear anything officially from Big Point on this matter, we will post it here in the forum.

    Edit to add:

    Regarding the Friendster DSO Sigris/Khalys players: we should have some (hopefully good) news about this later today. Or tomorrow, depending on your time-zone. Some time in the next 12 hrs or so. Actually, considering we're talking Big Point time, make that within the next 24 hrs :D
    Don't delete your Friendster a/c just yet...
