And you think server downtime is bad. Spare a thought for players of Japanese/Korean MMO M2, which thanks to a little accident has actually been deleted. Forever. Like, itās gone, and is never coming back.
The game, which was developed by Japanese studio Sankando, was undergoing maintenance on October 21 when integral code was deleted from the gameās databases. The kicker being this code wasnāt stored or backed up anywhere else. With that code missing, the game couldnāt function, so the whole damn thing had to come down.
Or so Sankando and the gameās operators in Korea, Hangame, say! Thatās a pretty bush league mistake to make, which has some people suspicious as to the true motives of the gameās removal.
Iām erring on the side of it being real, though. I mean, a game that sucks might be a problem, but the most embarrassing thing in MMO history doesnāt sound like a very effective cover story.
