Majorem To Shut Ballerium Servers Down For Good
Sunday, 06 July 2008 05:57
ballerium.pngIn a profoundly disappointing move, Majorem - developers of Ballerium , the Fantasy MMORTS that forms one of the core MMORTS genre titles - have announced that they will be bringing down the Ballerium servers on July 31st 2008 for the last time. Citing ongoing and insurmountable server stability issues as the prime cause, Majorem feel they cannot overcome these problems in their present position and will be issuing refunds for those subscribed already and no longer accept payments until the end. The developers are hoping for a return of old guard and some new friends to see out the shutdown with some intense gameplay and fun. Sleepy Giant seem to have sloped off quietly - you can read the statement below.

  

 

Important Message to the Ballerium Community

It is with much disappointment that we must announce Ballerium will be shutting down its servers for the final time on July 31st 2008. This time the shut down will be planned and permanent. Frankly server stability has been a big issue and plays a large part in our decision. 

 
The Final Round
 
This will be the  final round and will hopefully bring back some old allies and enemies in a final battle for control of Ballerium. Registration will remain open during that time so you can experiment with new accounts and bring in some old friends to help with the capping. Oh, we will no longer be accepting payments as of today. Users that have paid time remaining will be getting an email with instructions on refunds. 
 
Why Are We Shutting Down the Servers?
 
As a team that cares greatly about quality, the game is not where we want it to be on a several levels. We have listened to feedback from community, and due to the limited resources at Majorem, we cannot tackle the tough problems like game stability or introduce game improvements and enhancements.
 
Will Ballerium Be Back?
 
Good question. While this version of Ballerium is winding down, efforts to improve Ballerium will continue with the hopes that the game might find life in a different, more stable form.
 
We are looking for ideas as to what we should do with the site during the upcoming dark period. We’ve opened up a forum topic for further discussions as we love to hear from everyone.  
 
Finally we’d like to thank everyone for their support with Ballerium. Hopefully we’ll find you again on another battlefield soon!
