Legend of Edda, the free-to-play title from GamesCampus,
is temporarily closing its doors to the gaming public on August 26th
until early next year. This isn't because of a dying population or
financial difficulty, but rather to overhaul and relaunch the game with a
much-improved version.

According to a letter left on the website, EU's EYASoft
developed a superior version of the game that went into open beta in
Europe. Apparently this version was both so good and so incompatible
with the North American version that GamesCampus decided to halt
progress on the current edition of Legend of Edda in favor for the new and improved one. "Unfortunately," the letter says, "because
of the extreme differences between the US version and the new version,
it is impossible to update the US servers to the new game."

To compensate Legend of Edda fans, GamesCampus is creating
compensation packages to refund in-game currency and encourage players
to try out on of the studio's other titles.
