Best free game I ever played, even with all the bugs. It was too complicated for most players , but I love complicated games. I will continue to play until the end . Sad to see it go.

*Sigh* Everything I like gets destroyed. Whether it's a game I look forward to or a game I like playing, it will stick out in a sea of immortal human-sue stories, but will always drown with the tides.

The character creation may not be a big deal for most people, but it was the big reason I fell in love with ChimeraLand. Other MMOs force me to play as a human I will never have any sort of attachment or appreciation for, especially not when it's a species I want to escape from for just a brief moment in my life. Even in games like Elder Scrolls where you CAN make a character that's not human, it's not really going to be MY character. Lizards and cats are cool and all, but my favorite animals are the Megafauna like rhinos and hippos. ChimeraLand is only one of two MMO games I know that lets me play as a Rhino, and it's THEE only MMO that lets me play as a hippo. Being able to craft a goofy, chonky hippo character and shape him to the way I want was why I fell in love with this game. Even with all of the games faults, this was MY character. This was the character I wanted to escape to, even for a brief moment in time.

And come the end of March, I will no longer have that character, and one of the few characters I could escape to will die with this game. And after this, I will not have much left. It's hard filling that void when there are so few amazing games out there with likeable, diverse characters I can escape to, as most of the ones I look forward to end up being crap, and the few that end up being good either have some other issue or get drowned out by a million Humans VS Everything and anti-nature stories. It's hard not to get upset over this.

just thinking about the efforts i made, i wanna cry.. T^T

The only hope is for another company to buy the rights to Global or for CN devs to create a global server (I would love to play on CN if it weren't for the lack of translation and lag)

[Notsimple]

its sad i just discovered this game and i loved it..

[spiderbite2]

I have been playing this game off the Chimeraland launcher on pc for well over 1000 hours and it is hands down the only game i ever played that i hated and loved equally.
The lack of any good info on how some of the game worked be it online or in game is mind boggling and dont even get me started on the grind needed to advance anything.
I will miss it dearly and as much as i want to play till the end i am not sure i can due to the
"whats the point?" factor.
Honestly,i could see this coming since in those 1000 hours playing in Eastmount area i ran into only a dozen or so other players...really??...yea.
Lastly,i never spent a nickel on this game so i am indeed part of the problem this game is going down and i am truly sorry to all that may have paid to enjoy this game.

[WizKid]

we need a refund for all the money we spent on this game

[MrMysticol]

so (cn version) is not cloasing down? how you get on that?

[wayne-simmonds]

It really was a HUGE timesink of Fun for me too. I think had they been more realistic about pricing in AUD I might have spent money. Bugs aside I loved the home building and daily tasks etc. Monster capture and killing. Sad to see it go.

[Chuss]

And yet inferior games with greedy devs and predatory monetisation will thrive due to meme bait, thirst bait and shock advertising.

[ItzJustOmlè]

They didnt say the reason but everyone assume that this game has low profit and cant maintain the cost,server,etc

[Wolfguarde]

It's a shame... this is the best MMO currently on the market, despite the jank, the bugs, and the dev neglect. If they'd showed even a little more care for bug resolution, they could have retained a much larger playerbase and made enough money to warrant keeping it going.

RIP Chimeraland. I hope to see something like it again in the future, but I don't think we'll ever see something quite the same again.

[Gawr Gura]

they should refund everyone who at least spent money in January...

[Diamondhero253]

so far i can find no active projects to actually archive this game, such as making a server emulator for preservation purposes. Im no tech expert, but if anyone knows anything about preserving server packets it would be appreciated. thanks.

[Wolfguarde]

Yeah, really surprised nobody has cracked this yet. It would be a waste for it to die in obscurity when the servers drop...
