Pangya Philippines: Game Over
It was a sad news for some gamer when a game shuts down, just like ROSE Philippines last August 6, 2007. Now another game from Level-Up is closing. As quoted on hackenslash:
GAME publisher Level Up! will not be renewing its license for the online casual game PangYa with Korean developer Ntreev and publisher Hanbitsoft, effectively closing the game after two years of operations.The company’s PangYa servers will be closed by Jan. 27, as stated in the game’s Philippine website. This is the second time the company has announced the closure of a game, after last year’s R.O.S.E. (Rush on Seven Episodes) Online.
The closure was confirmed in an interview with hackenslash by Level Up! marketing director Jake San Diego, who said PangYa players are being encouraged to migrate to other Level Up! games.
The company also publishes Ragnarok, Khan, Perfect World, FlyFF, and Freestyle.San Diego explained that the decision was made to give the company “more focus” and align its direction with its existing games.
PangYa is a 3D golf game introduced in the Philippines in February 2006 by publisher netGames, before the company was later merged with Level Up! The game enjoys a 2,800 concurrent user peak and 71,000 unique players per month.

23 Dec 2008, 4:24 amWhen will LevelUpGames decide to stop their other online games especially Ragnarok. That games sucks considering there’s a lot of offline servers who surpasses the online game features itself.
