Grand Chase to Shut Down Effective Immediately
KOG Games has made the unfortunate announcement that Grand Chase, the free to play, side scrolling fantasy game, will be shutting down in North America today.
"Grand Chase had a tremendous impact and paved the way for so many MMOs that it is simply time to say goodbye and allow players to embrace these new experiences," said Eugene Kim CEO of KOG Games. While it's the end of Grand Chase, it's only the beginning of what we at KOG Games have in store for our community."
Members of the Grand Chase team will be sharing their memories with players in a "Farewell Blog" on the game's site and have posted numerous messages of thanks to Grand Chase players around the world. If you are interested in checking out Elsword, another KOG Games title, you can take advantage of a free boosted character if you have a max level character in Grand Chase.

I say that because that was my experience leveling up in Elsword. I had fun, but the stamina system just made it the worst to play. I'd just be getting into it, then after an hour, punt. Right back out. I'm going to miss Grand Chase, but turning the game off without even a week heads up of warning is just frelling scummy.
but i guess game got too old to maint and maybe kog games will make newer version or that something
its F2P game or F2 mas2rbate website?
