Why you might like it

  • Was a genuine WeMade/Nexon fantasy MMORPG built around mount-taming and creature-collection, letting players capture and ride a wide variety of flying and ground mounts.
  • Ran for nearly a decade (originally published by Nexon, later taken over by Valofe in 2019), giving it a real, if declining, lifespan in the MMORPG market.
  • Its combat-companion and mount systems were genuinely well-regarded during its more active years, before ownership changes led to its decline.
Before you play

Things to consider

  • The game is fully closed: publisher Valofe announced the shutdown in February 2025 and ended service that May, after nearly a decade online.
  • The closure followed years of decline under Valofe's ownership, including a cancelled server merge, a failed 2022 pivot to a blockchain 'play-to-earn' model, and the earlier shutdown of its Southeast Asia servers.
  • There is no private server, relaunch, or way to access the game today — this profile is kept for historical reference only.
