The End of Albatross18

January24

Is it?

There has been rumors for months about OGPlanet abandoning the Pangya Game. In the last month it showed the way of Pangya BR, Pangya SEA…

Hackers are rampant, inflating rares to millions again, the good community showed the screenshots of 0 wind and Auto Pangyas. But the only thing that can be done are bans, even some falsely bans.

Then come the non updates. First the Gifts not being fixed and a show of 2x Pang and Experience for 2 weeks.

Hello Golfers,

There has been some confusion lately about the Christmas event. Due to an unforeseen issue with the gift boxes that were won during the event period, we will be removing them from the game. Because we know that this may have been an inconvenience to some, we will be running double Pang/Experience for the next two weeks.

We apologize for any confusion this may have caused.

Then come the sharpening of the axe

Hello Golfers,

Unfortunately there will not be an update this week. Please keep checking our website for future notices and updates. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

So what to do now, if this is all true? It depends. There sadly haven’t been much rumor of another company picking it up. NtreevUSA?

If it does goes out, the forum here will avaliable if OGPlanet shuts theirs down.

It has been a great run, since playing back in Season 1, when GM were available to make quick games and the community was growing and boy were tourneys fun. Though I’m just rambling right now, where would everyone else do. Quit the game, Go to GOA (most likely what I will do), KR, JP, or quit with good memories (probably most will do).

I honestly hope that either A: A surprise Season 4 announcement is in the works, or B: If this is the truth we will see transferral of all items and equipment to the new acquiree.

There’s too many memories there.

I think this is a silly rumor to be spreading. Really don’t see the grounds for it.

If they get rid of Alba18 I would want my astro’s refunded back (in Astros) so I can spend it on another game of theirs… If they shut it down, it’ll be a real waste (:/)

But I REALLY hope for a surprise S4 – that would be freakin’ awesome!!

heh as a die hard NTREEV fan. i’ll say, let’s move it to US NTREEV!
Better astro and recharge point purchase then the hard headed Ogplanet.

i say, Let it happen.

I don’t know what will happen, but the signs are there…for a while now.
No updates, do they still ban reported hackers posted?…no sign of it anyway, no response or information from OGP whatsoever (nothing new here), GMs only close/delete related topics…again zero information.
It’s likely NtreevUSA will take it over, but even when a18 stays with OGP…is it worth it? OGP clearly doesn’t give rats about the game nor it’s customers. They milk the game without any further effort (when was the last GameGuard update?).

I played a18 from the start, but I terminated my OGP account and switched to GOA in october. I didn’t migrate for the fun of it…I just could no longer bear the crap.

Those who think all will be fine…best of luck, but I’m afraid it’s wishful thinking. For you guys…I hope I’m wrong, but I’m afraid a18 won’t last long.

They LOCKED my GM FAQ forum linked to this page.
—-That’s not quite a gentlemen.

i’ll try ask on NTREEV side instead.

And guess what..?
The A.18 game client is no longer downloadable at ogplanet.com

NB: sorry for spamming.

QUOTE:

Albatross18 Players,

We are sorry to announce that Albatross18 will be closing its services. We have had some good times, but the servers will be going down. For the time being, you will still be able to play, and until the servers go down on March 10th, you can use your Astros to make purchases from the shop or from any other OGPlanet game.

In fact, we think you will love our other games so much, we will give you special prizes just for trying them out. If you create a new character in Rumble Fighter, CABAL Online, or La Tale between now and March 8th, we will give you a special item to help get you further in the games faster. Note that players will only receive special items for characters created during this period and only for games in which they did not previously already have a character.

So, for now, enjoy Albatross18 and remember to try our other games before March 8th to get your free gifts! We are currently working with the developer on the future of the game and we will make an announcement once we have more information. Until then, will keep Albatross18 running smoothly until the servers go down on March 10th. We are glad that we could share all of these good times with you and we hope to share more in the other OGPlanet games!

Don’t worry. NTREEV is the company that create & own pangya as one of their best world favorite game (apart from Trickster Online).

If you notice so far, all pangya game servers host company from all over the world like:
-Singapore.
-Filipino.
-Indonesia. (bolehgame.com)
-CHINA.
-Brazil.
-KOREA (hanbitsoft) <–NTREEV.KR taking over.
- north US. (OGplanet.s*cks.com) <–NTREEV.US taking over.

If there is a game server company that we can put our trust on PANGYA then, it is NTREEV themselves.

I got the feeling that they will bring back Arin and Kooh back to trickster online when the game is ready for us. LOL XD

Hey
i miss Albatross18 like when it finally shut down i moved to GOA.com and i don’t find it as good..
also i’ve just tried signing up to NTREEV US and i signed up using the same information as GOA (meaning like my username and all that) and it said it wasn’t available which kinda buzzed me because it lead me to think can i log in on NTREEV with my GOA details?
does anyone know if that it possible? (:])
