ChangYou Shutting Down Zentia

ChangYou has announced it will shut down Zentia on August 13.

An email from ChangYou stated:

It is with a bittersweet sadness that we announce that Zentia will be closing its doors August 13th, 2012 at 11:59PM PDT. Unfortunately, we are unable to continue to keep the Zentia servers available for play after August 13th. The good news is that we will be re-focusing our efforts and resources on some very exciting upcoming titles. While this is a sad moment in time, we know that the future is bright and we can’t wait to share it with you!

Players will be able to get free tokens for either Dragon Oath or Sword Girls, and player’s existing Zentia tokens  can be transferred through Customer Support to either game. Token transfer requests must be made by September 13. Zentia will also shut down its Facebook and Twitter accounts on August 13, but leave the forums open until September 13.

Are you wondering what will happen to your existing Zentia Tokens?
