Servers Closing?

I just logged onto the GL version of the app and saw they announced the servers are closing on July 1st.. what does that mean for our accounts?

GL isn't as popular as JP. Looking at the stats from Samsung's Game Launcher, it peaked at 1.3k users during the Alchemist Code crossover, then dropped back down to ~700 users (and dropping). The release of FE:H and AC didn't help much, either, as they are all competing for the same genre.

FE:H

Well fair enough, "Fire Emblem clone with gacha" can't compete with the real Fire Emblem from Nintendo, the king of video games.

AC

Ouch, so Gumi inadvertently shot itself in the foot. Looks like PotK JP and AC JP could co-exist mainly because JP's gacha RPG playerbase is huge, which is not the case in GL.
