Servers Coming down at end of Feburary!

from snedge on the discord:

"Well, my friends, sad news I'm afraid; It seems that at the end of this month the Fractured Space servers and back-end will be shut down. Whilst I'd love to be able to keep things going, it seems it's just not going to be possible. The situation is too complicated to be able to either release the servers or emulate the backend, so the upcoming tournament is looking like the last hooray for Fractured Space - It has been an incredible blast. This has, for all of the dev team, been a fantastic journey and we're proud of what we achieved, and we're proud of all of you - the people that made FS great. Let's give it a grand send-off this weekend in a huge wave of explosions!"

radar.

Man, my buddy and I JUST got in to this game. This is one of the most heartbreaking closures I've dealt with :(

Some further news regarding servers. It now seems the backend (fireline) will be around until 6th May. The game servers will be switched off as planned at the end of this month.

What does this mean? In short, no change until the end of Feb. At that point, and with no further intervention, neither PvE nor PvP will be available. Solo play will be playable until 6th May.

It is possible that we could run independent servers up until 6th May, e.g. Reductive has already offered up a server for this purpose. The issue is that whilst this would work for PvP, since you get 10 players per server game instance, it would be very hard to cater for PvE, which needs an instance for 2 or 3 players and is by far the more popular mode.

This game start to go down faster as soon as daily rewards was removed - i was not a fan player but i always keep an eye on this game each day only for those small rewards ... removing that and all free players loose their interest on it... Good job Wargaming ! you buy this game only to destroy-it .... Congratz : you succede-it in only in 3 months.

Sad news.

Devs should have made more game modes/maps instead of ships because the game had traction for a while.

Totally called it in my review two and a half years ago.

It should maybe be clarified that wargaming bought edge case a month after they announced they were stopping work on the game.

It should also be pointed out that this game was not profitable, using some very suspect math i beleve i worked out that over the lifetime of the game they made little over 4 million dollars.

The issue has always been a matter of population, it was never attracted properly through ad's to begin with, and at the end with the episodes there was maybe only 300 of us playing off and on.

There was a big influx of players when it went free to play, that fell rapidly after. And even at 10 dollars an episode there just was no money in it.

The ending pain of it all is that there is no good way to keep the server up, they cost money, and too much of the back end and the game itself is using licenced content that they cannot release.

So come to the weekend games, Join the Discord, put your ships and crews affairs in order, spend that elite xp, buy the skins at 2 credits each.

I was there near the beginning, and for the memories and time spend i will see it through to the end.

I will never forget playing this game a ton. I didn't play often but I truly enjoyed this game to the fullest. I will never forget the great games I had. I don't think another game will ever give me the same feeling this game did with it's atmosphere and crew audio lines.
