Deco Online and Darkeden shutting down

Joymax has announced that it will be shutting down its MMORPG Deco Online, and its “horror” MMO Darkeden, sometime in the near future. Payment services have already been shut down for the games, and a “future announcement” is supposed to tell players when the game itself will be shut down.

The shutdown comes as no surprise, as neither game seemed popular or well maintained.

Joymax also publishes Silkroad Online, which has been receiving regular updates since its launch.
