De sidste rester af Everquest Next, Landmark, lukker ned

Daybreak Game Company kunne i starten af sidste år afsløre, at det kommende onlinespil Everquest Next blev lukket ned, men at deres sandkassespil Landmark ville leve videre. Nu har udvikleren dog afsløret, at også Landmark vil blive lukket ned.

På den officielle hjemmeside skriver udvikleren:

With heavy hearts, we are writing today to inform you that after much review, we have decided to close Landmark game servers on February 21, 2017.

Since Landmark first entered Alpha, we have been impressed by the creative talents in this community. You pushed the boundaries of what Landmark could do, and we are grateful for the time and energy you shared through your creations in this game.

While there is still time to enjoy Lumeria and the many worlds you've built within Landmark, we wanted to let you know what you will be seeing happen between now and February. Beginning today, Player Studio items will no longer be available for listing or for purchase in the Landmark Marketplace. Landmark will also no longer be available for purchase. All items in the Marketplace with a Daybreak Cash price will have their price reduced to 1 DBC.

The game servers, as well as the accompanying forums and social media channels, will be closed at 4:00PM Pacific Time on Tuesday, February 21, 2017.

We want to thank each and every one of you for your creative contributions to Landmark.

Som det fremgår af beskeden, vil Landmark være tilgængeligt frem til den 21. februar, hvor serverne derefter lukkes helt, og hjemmesiden samt forummet også lukker ned. Spillet er desuden også blevet fjernet fra Steam, så det ikke længere er muligt at købe.
