As of September 27th of 2010, the Emil Chronicle of Malasya servers will be shut down. Here is the official announcement on their website. It shows that they even took their time to try and make the English sound somewhat coherent *sarcasm*:

Yet another game that I used to play (last year) is shutting down. I'm not too disappointed though, the game certainly had a long lifespan and I bet a lot of people had fun playing it while it lasted. But with new online games coming out by the hundreds every year, the market is getting very competitive. Games that only survive because of a certain niche or fan base are prone to be shut down sooner or later. Don't be surprised if your favorite game from "back in the day" suddenly shuts down next.
On another note, some people suggest that since this game was originally developed by Gravity, it is rumored that maybe they decide to relaunch a server of their own.
That's it for this post guys, and for Emil Chronicle RUNUP as well.
