in News & Features Discussion

Gameforge has announced that RaiderZ is closing up shop beginning on August 3, 2013. According to the announcement, the game did not achieve the level of success that was anticipated. In addition to the announcement, the team has posted an FAQ for players. 

Question: Is there any way to continue playing RaiderZ on another service?

Answer: Not straight away. For those of you that wish to continue playing RaiderZ, there is only the option to switch to another RaiderZ publisher. There you will however have to start from scratch again.

    Well, PW should get an influx of EU players provided they haven't banned non-US IPs.

    I suppose they'll open an EU server too.

     

    Not a bad game, but not a good one either.  Combat was too stiff to enjoy and the general feel of the game was just average, like C9 compared to Vindictus.

    The game had 1 thing more games should have tough.

     

    On boss battles you could cut parts of the enemies that would reduce their attack options plus certain bosses parts could be used as weapons like the first boss scales could be used as a shield.

    Wrong. It's the lack of content, bad customer service and bad publisher overall.

    The game wasn't fun whatsoever. The animations were severely lacking, which in a combat based game is a big issue. The enemies had maybe one or two types of attacks that were easily avoided making everything way too easy, and it was just a giant quest grind from start to finish. There was nothing else.

    (rel 11/20/12) That wasn't that long ago. This game must of fallen on its face after release.

    That sucks. Hope people don't lose their jobs!

    MMORPG Gamers/Developers need a reality check!

    I wish PW would just die out. Gaming world would be a better place.

    There's no IP restriction, but I don't think it will cause an influx. As Moskibear wrote, lots of EU players are already over there, simply because PWE had a better marketing (like closed beta keys here and other mmo sites as well, PWE newsletters, cross-game giveaways, etc.)

    I had the similar experience as him, when I first heard about RaiderZ EU I already had 2 characters on US (since I have PWE account it was an easy thing to hop into the game), and already reached to the conclusion that though it's a fun game, it worths only a few hours in a month, tops. With all this, I obviously skipped the EU one...

    (and the reputation of Gameforge didn't helped either :) I'm not saying PWE is better, but they already have my account / info through Cryptic...)
