As Gameleon announced the servers of 9D Japan got closed on November 30, 2009. The Japanese realm had a big community from outside Japan, especially "refugees" from the US realm. Even Gameleons excellent support and game management was not enough to make 9D a success in Japan. I am sure it was not an easy decision for the management, dropping the whole realm, but we have to accept that Japan are hard grounds for MMO Games.
My special thanks goes to all Gameleons officials and game masters, who not just allowed us to play on their servers but also integrated our players into their community, even game events. I am quite sure it was not an easy decision as well, since Japanese might or might not accept foreign players among them.
Another special thanks goes to our moderators, all the contributors who made the language fix possible, and of course everybody building this community as well.
This website will stay, even without 9D Japan. I started a forum for the other Asian Realms. Time will show which direction the community is moving, and everybody is invited to discuss other MMO games as well. We started as a free speech platform around Acclaims 9D, and I am very sure many other games having demand for free speech places as well.
