Maestia is Shutting Down on March 31, 2016

Aeria Games announced on March 24 that their fantasy MMORPG Maestia would be shutting down for good on March 31, 2016 - giving players a mere 1 week notice. The game originally launched in 2012 and has had a pretty decent 4 year run. The game never achieved large scale success, but was clearly doing well enough to keep the servers on up until now at least. In game purchases made between January 1 and March 31 will be refunded back to player accounts.

Aeria Games has taken this opportunity to direct players towards their newest title, Echo of Soul. Maestia Players will be given a Veteran Item Package in Echo of Soul which gives them instant access to level 35 as well as some in-game gear and items.

While Maestia was never a game I was particularly into, it's always sad to see a game shut down. No word on whether another publisher will pick it back up or not. Perhaps Suba Games will ressurect it one day in the future as they have done with Luna Online, DOMO, and several other titles. Rest in peace Maestia.
