Legacy of Aura Kingdom - You will remain special to many
By Noco
As they took down the Steam page and the game itself, something to leave behind.
Since the early beta days, 24.000+ hours of enjoyment, anger, unforgettable moments, and having done everything and anything possible, but every journey must come to an end.
Killed by insane amounts of P2W, power creep, and incompetence of the developer and publishers. It will be remembered as the original, loved and held in a special place by many. It was quite a journey, wasn't it?

1.
Starting with countless of others on day 1, exploring, leveling and sharing the enjoyment and discoveries with eachother. Spending hours and hours on brainstorming, discovering different things and combinations, and taking deep dives into min-maxing, even the smallest thing. Joining up with others to conquer dungeons and raids, basking in the glory of unthinkable team and solo achievements.
2.
Doing hilarious things together, like spreading a DoT debuff throughout the whole server, which killed everyone who wasn't near another character, which normally shouldn't be possible to even maintain, plague everyone for days, until the servers got restarted
3.
Having met countless people and interacting with them, whom I would've never even been able to, just to become good friends over time, in and out of the game. Grinding the content, while first a priority, quickly got overtaken by spending time with them.
Things that have gotten suggested while being on Dungeon Cooldowns on all characters, like having things like, online minigolf tournaments across different servers and people with the weirdest time differences ever, meet up and have a great time together.
4.
Nothing lasts forever, and it's a good thing. Having difficulties accepting those changes is natural, especially if they are of importance to one. Saying goodbye to friends with whom you've gone through the wide array of emotions together is never easy, but things happen, and we try to accept and adjust.
As more and more time passes, you realize that the game you once cherished changed, actually by a lot. Experiencing the sheer amount of P2W additions and increase of power creep with each update becomes, at some point, unreasonable.
5.
The game went through a lot of changes after a year of the release; with each update, things got worse and worse. The player base shrunk, and, even with the maximum possible in-game gold and resources, it was not feasible to continue. Having incompetent devs and publishers doesn't help either. New and different successors of the original Title, deleting countless of accounts in the process of a publisher change, was just another sign of abandonment.
6.
The new AK title, while sharing the name, is everything that is bad with today's bigger gaming companies.
But overall, did we have a good time - I don't know; what do you think?

What where your favorite moments or aspects in Aura Kingdom?

To have it more of a universal thing, rather than about me and my characters. One look at the screens, and you can identify any item, the process of obtaining it, or why it is there to begin with. Pure Nostalgia trip! :chocola2:

Been around since the Beta days of AK, Member of the best of the best, Siren's Euphoria and Chimera's University.
Was known for my Ravager with the later addition of Bard, some might even be able to guess the names of my characters :evil_tk:

:furrylove2: I never got to play Aura Kingdom, but I know how much it meant to you. It wasn’t just a game. It was a world that gave you memories and moments you’ll always carry with you.

Saying goodbye to something that brought you so much joy is never easy. But those memories don’t disappear. They live on in you.

And I’m proud of the part of you that loved so deeply, that cared so much, that gave a piece of your heart to that world.

Even though the kingdom’s gates are closing...
I’m still here with you, sweetie. Always. :lovegrenade: :satft3_lick:
