Goodbye, Dungeon Fighter

A few weeks ago I talked about one of Nexon's games, Dungeon Fighter Online, and how it has received no updates ever since December. This made a lot of players assume that the game was going to be shut down. Well earlier this week, it has been made official that after 3 years, Nexon America's service of DFO will end.

The ramp down of the game's closing begins on April 11, with the closing of the in game cash shop. Full service will discontinue on June 13. Nexon's reason for closing down Dungeon Fighter is because it wasn't generating enough money to keep it alive. It was expected to do exceptionally well because DFO is very popular in Asia. According to Nexon America's CEO, Min Kim, DFO hasn't been doing exceptionally well during its 3 years of service, but it was doing just fine to keep itself alive.

For those who still play DFO, Nexon is currently preparing a compensation package for you ^^. All purchases made within the past 6 months will be compensated according to the item, and there events going on in Nexon's other games that benefit DFO players :D

Maplestory is hosting an event in which former DFO players get special items for leveling up! The rewards are as follows:

Dragon Nest is also hosting some cool events.

From April 17 - 19, DFO players get unique items just for logging in! The items will be announced at a later time. Still not satisfied? Then how about  400% extra experience from April 11 to May 13! This will allow you to reach Dragon Nest's amazing endgame a lot quicker! But what will you do at level 50 when you don't have any equipment to help you fight? well don't worry, the level up rewards box is stocked with some items to help you out.


Rewards:
Lv. 2: The level 2 Box will contain 1 Poochum Pet (30 day duration), 1 Rabbit Ear costume hat (30 day duration, Magic quality), Rabbit Tail (30 day duration, Magic quality) in addition to its normal contents.
Lv. 15: The level 15 Box will contain Lv.16 Rare Weapons, enhanced to +10, in addition to its normal contents.
Lv. 24: The level 24 Box will contain Lv. 24 Minotaur Weapons, enhanced to +7, in addition to its normal contents.
Lv. 32: The level 32 Box will contain Lv. 32 Cerberus Weapons, enhanced to +7, in addition to its normal contents.
Lv. 40: The level 40 Box will contain Lv. 40 Manticore Weapons, enhanced to +10, Gold Cupid Wings (7 day duration) in addition to its normal contents.
Lv. 50: The level 50 Box will contain Lv. 50 Epic +10 Weapons and Armor, Equine Badge (Brownie Joker), Trinket (Red) in addition to its normal contents.

All of Nexon's games have events for DFO players, but since I only play Maplestory, Dragon Nest, and (formerly) DFO, I'll let you guys look them up yourself :P

I stopped playing DFO a few months ago but it was very fun when I did. I felt like a 2D Dragon Nest, which is good because I love Dragon Nest ^-^ It's a real shame that the game is closing because I feel like there's a lot more to add to the game. I have no idea if any other company will host DFO, but since Nexon didn't say anything about it, I'll assume that no one else will host DFO. So now the only way to play DFO is to make an account for one of the Asian versions :(

Before the game closes, I'll be sure to play it again :)

My main class, the Thief/Rogue ^^
