So when the developers behind the game you’re publishing all but give up on the game. There would be no new content added, no new updates, nothing at all. MAIET specifically ceased operations earlier in the year leaving Perfect World with. MAIET Entertainment, the South Korean studio, were the developers.

See, Perfect World were the Western publishers of the game, not the developers. Perfect World Entertainment had no intention of closing RaiderZ down – I’m unsure of exactly how well the game was doing at the time of their closure but the decision was mostly out of their hands. Since then, private servers have both risen and been buried trying to capture the playerbase that longs to experience what the game once offered to no avail. It launched initially in 2012 and was subsequently shut down in 2015, after only 3 years. I knew it existed, but at the time I was far too invested in TERA – which honestly was a lot better both graphically and mechanically.īut RaiderZ still had its place – just like most MMORPGs do. I never played RaiderZ when it was published by Perfect World Entertainment.
