Empty Pang Rice: OGPlanet Announces Albatross18 Shutdown

"Albatross18 Players,

We are sorry to announce that Albatross18 will be closing its services. We have had some good times, but the servers will be going down. For the time being, you will still be able to play, and until the servers go down on March 10th, you can use your Astros to make purchases from the shop or from any other OGPlanet game.

In fact, we think you will love our other games so much, we will give you special prizes just for trying them out. If you create a new character in Rumble Fighter, CABAL Online, or La Tale between now and March 8th, we will give you a special item to help get you further in the games faster. Note that players will only receive special items for characters created during this period and only for games in which they did not previously already have a character.

So, for now, enjoy Albatross18 and remember to try our other games before March 8th to get your free gifts! We are currently working with the developer on the future of the game and we will make an announcement once we have more information. Until then, will keep Albatross18 running smoothly until the servers go down on March 10th. We are glad that we could share all of these good times with you and we hope to share more in the other OGPlanet games!"

...

To be honest, I could see this direction was coming, but now it's just sad seeing how everything is right now. What really hurts the most is that they think they can amend the situation by trying to buy us in to their other games from the previous. I'm really going to miss my friends that I met there (Of whom I don't have contact info), the memories of the records I have made and the hours I put into organizing events for them, and finally, as you all know, my Kooh.

My Halo X-Mas Gifted, Olympic Scratchcard Won, Many Cookies Spent, but most of all, cherished partner in Pangya. It's moments like this that really ruin my rhythm.

Currently OGPlanet talks are in progress with the developer so there is a possibility of data transfer/not all acquisitions lost, but until then, I'm screenshotting until no tomorrow before March 10th.

A big thanks to the hackers, disrespectful players, and overall horrible community for bringing this about. If we didn't have scum like you, we could still be playing with the courtesy of Season 1. Also thanks to OGP for not noticing buying multiple licenses causes stress on game quality and moderation.

I think I can, just this once, let out my inhibitions.

Fuck. You. OGP. I'm sorry I put any faith in you.

More updates as they come about, and messages later... I guess I'll focus on my KR account from now on (ChunandRice).

What to do about my Pangya Panel now...
