"WORLD ANNOUNCEMENT: The US Region's world anchor has collapsed. Shared data has been destroyed. The game will shut down in 10 hours."
"WORLD ANNOUNCEMENT: Effective immediately, all regions will disable trading, experience gain, and skill point acquisition… main, side, and hidden quest progress is paused!"
"WORLD ANNOUNCEMENT: Wishing all players valor and fortune. May the radiance of the gods of the galaxy ever be with you!"
A bizarre system notice popped up across every interface. Billions of players around the world stared blankly. The revolutionary online game that had swept the globe for half a year…
Was just gone?
Just like that?
Global chat:
"WHAT THE HELL!!! I just sold my house to buy gold coins and you're telling me the game is shutting down? \$%#@!"
"Bro, seriously? I always said trusting AI was dumb. Open source coding is the real future of gaming!"
"Ha! Good riddance! Hope that Orgod clown and his gang keep swaggering now."
