They are shutting down all servers on July 31. Sad to hear. Read on for their announcement.
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. Weve opened up a forum topic for further discussions as we love to hear from everyone.
Finally wed like to thank everyone for their support with Ballerium. Hopefully well find you again on another battlefield soon!
