It’s sad to see this game ended this way. There were many ways this game could’ve lasted longer. Keeping exclusive item exclusive is the key. No one wants to spend a dime when next month all the effort I’ve spent will be in vain. Rewards from major game modes should never be worth only a buck or two; otherwise why play at all?

Instead of spreading this game so thin by having too many items / game modes, it inevitably gets confusing. Have one great mode such as a team event and build on it. Like most MMORPG you can have many guild events or even unite different guilds to have a major battle. I know you’ll say castle crisis but that is NOT a team event.
