Gamersfirst has just released information about the transfer of
9Dragons over to their servers. Apparently, in a completely screw you
move on behalf of Acclaim, the servers for the MMO will be turned off today.
Gamersfirst were hoping that the servers would continue to be up until
they took the game over in September, but it appears Acclaim is having
some sort of temper tantrum, and doesn't want to keep things running now
that they no longer own the game. Gamersfirst wants to ensure that you don't lose your characters, equipment etc., and so have released the following information:
GamersFirst urges all 9Dragons players to immediately:
- Take digital inventory of items and characters
- Create screenshots of all personal in-game inventory and characters
- Save and document in-game status
"We
regret to have to post such unfortunate and urgent news to our new
9Dragons player community," says Joseph Rush, Director of Operations for
GamersFirst. "Regrettably, we cannot control what the current
publishers do, but can help the 9Dragons community make the transition
and keep as much as their account information as possible. Our teams are
working fanatically to make sure that current players are aware of the
potential situation and can hopefully reclaim their characters, status
and in-game items when GamersFirst is able to publish 9Dragons in
September."
GamersFirst
is offering a promotion for the 9Dragon players abandoned by Playdom in
the case that services are shut off. 9Dragons registrants for
GamersFirst accounts, who enter the code 9Dragons, will receive
special items in Sword 2, GamersFirst's RPG/RTS hybrid MMO and War Rock:
Clan Warfare, the hit FPS MMO; until they can resume playing 9Dragons
in September. The promotion will be in effect as of August 27th, 2010. While
the situation sucks, I'm happy that Gamersfirst is doing what they can
to try and maintain player accounts as best that can under the
circumstances. If it ends up that you lose your character between the
time that the servers are shut off today and when the game starts up
again in September, make sure to contact Gamersfirst customer service
with the above information and they will help restor your character as
best they can.
