    I'm sad to announce that GSA's online GS battling game War of the Adepts has been shutdown as of yesterday by it's owner and creator ikillkenny. For those of you that do not know, WotA was created about 2 years ago and is so far the only online multiplayer game about Golden Sun. Many people enjoyed playing on it, and a few programmers from the GSA forums are going to attempt to continue development even without ikillkenny.

    For those of you interested, the announcement can be found here: http://www.doc-ent.c...?showtopic=2608

      Awww man. I played for a little while and it was an EXCELLENT game. Why'd IKK close it?


      EDIT:Nevermind. Damn that hacker. Oh well. I saved the source and forum files :blink:

        :blink: Looks like ikillkenny put a lot of work into it. Sad to see such efforts go to waste...

          You know, that's about the last time I see an internet game go down in horrific dissapointment, all because of a few retarded hackers. These people are complete know-nothings, and yet they suffice to pleasure of destroying others' dreams and memories. Nothing is funny about this, even though it didn't really work out slightly what the graphics intended to be, IKK had a dream, and it was dismantled; for good. I'd kill those sons of a pig's arse, wherever they are.

          It's a disgrace; truly inhuman. But ...

          ... Hey, Max. Did you disable stfuweirdos' IP address?

                      I downloaded it a while back, and although I played it a bit at first I thought it wasn't THAT good for an internet game, but full credit to ikilkenny.

                        Ditto.

                        I think I only played an older version before IKK upgraded it more. Plus, I didn't have much space on my computer for it.

                          I never played it, but I guess it was good. So, a farewell I guess.

                              I freakin h8 that. GSO has been out have the time and they dont get noticed :D. It seems more fun to me. The game was alrgiht I'd have to say. Nothin much. I'd have to say those hakers a f***** punks witout a life of their own.

                                      For those saying his dream was crushed:
                                      The game was about 3 years old. I wouldn't say his dream was ruined because it was already completed. In addition, IKK probably had many other reasons, for he's going to college, the people who used their PCs as a server for the game have left, and the game had been dropping in usage for a while.

                                      NOTICE: The Golden Sun Anonymous section of Doc-Ent was hacked and it seems everything was deleted. But for whatever reason, they did not go and hack the forums or Doc-Ent part of the site. Go fig...

                                        I had a look at WOTA a while ago. It wasn't THAT great, I've played much better online games. But I guess it was a good effort by IKK.

                                            Lol, brazzilian hackers. When will they learn. But this is getting waay off topic now. I suggest a mod closes it.

                                                I don;t think that anyone will remake it, this shoud be closed as it is an old topic and we all know that WOTA is gone.

                                                  [sarcasm]Yeah while we're at it why not buy 70% of Sega's shares and force them to develope it proffessionally, and then ask a oublisher such as Nintendo to release it to the general public, and pocket all the earnings for ourselves?[/sarcasm]

                                                    lol Anubis. Yeah I don't think people will be remaking WOTA anytime soon.

                                                      You could already make your own character, but IKK did it in a competition style, so you had to work for it. Unfortunately, GSA is seeing it's own decline. After all, GS is pretty dead. I don't notice much activity relating to GS in these forums either (although, that's probably just me, 'cause I don't visit those parts of the board :P). I just come because there are some good people here that I like to chat with :)

                                                        Ditto, I have only gone into the GS forums twice, that was around when these forums first opened. I come here to talk about video games in general really.

                                                          I've been spending equal time on each forum, but I guess when I've been here long enough, those forums will begin to bore me.
