lujate 578 Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Late last week, this notice was posted on the Official International Sacred Forum that seemed to indicate that the Sacred 2 Closed Net servers would be permanently shut down the end of March. We at DarkMatters feel that Closed Net deserves a going away party before it passes into eternal darkness. We would like to invite you and every other past and present Sacred 2 player to join us for one last great foray into the Ancaria we have enjoyed for the past several years. This gathering will be the last full weekend before the anticipated shutdown, March 24th and 25th. Unofficial roll-call will be on Saturday at 1800 GMT (which will be 7 in the evening in continental Europe and 10 in the morning on the Pacific coast of North America). No, we will not actually be taking roll, but gogo will be there taking pictures. Try to be there for about 15 minutes or so, just so we can get the most group pics. This party will allow players to relive the good times, reconnect with old buddies and possibly allow some newer players to earn the Group Hug achievement. Please include "DarkMatters" somewhere in the server names you create to help identify party goers. We sincerely hope you can make it, and if you know any inactive Sacred players try to bring them along as well. Update: gogo has to work those days until 5:30 (GMT -5) in the afternoon, so the photo shoots will take place a little after that, on both Saturday and Sunday. If you cannot be on during either of those times, you can take your own pics. Just have everyone face the camera, hold the left ALT key to display all of the character names and use CTRL+Print Screen to do the screen capture. Best to take a couple. The photo shoots and most of the activity will be on Ice and Blood HC, but SC and S2FA are also encouraged to come out. Link to comment
gogoblender 3,069 Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 This is great Lujate, thank you! And yeah, count me in, everyone to remember your best looking gear, pix for all, the changing of an Era for Sacred! gogo Link to comment
Spunky 16 Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Too bad they are shutting them down "already". Good idea about the party, I'll be there too. Link to comment
stubbie 21 Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Unofficial roll-call will be on Saturday at 1800 GMT (which will be 7 in the evening in continental Europe and 10 in the morning on the Pacific coast of North America). And unfortunately 5am Sunday morning for anyone on the Eastern coast of Australia. Link to comment

And unfortunately 5am Sunday morning for anyone on the Eastern coast of Australia. Looks like you and me will be late participants.....I probably won't be able to make it until Sunday and around 5pm my time (think it's either 2200 or 2300 gmt) Link to comment
Blood Hunter 0 Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Sure I'll be there with others italian players... ah and post also on forums of your country. Link to comment
lujate 578 Posted March 5, 2012 Author Share Posted March 5, 2012 The idea came from Knuckles, all I did was type it up and clear it with gogo. I thought about the guys in Australia, but the time zone difference was too great for me to solve, and I am sorry. Maybe one of you guys can get with gogo to see how he is going to do the pics. That way, one of you can take them and send him the pics. If you guys decide to do that, set a time and I will add it to the original post. Link to comment
gogoblender 3,069 Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 I'm gonna have this Tuesday Wednesday off, SChot just completely revamped my comp, so gotta reinstall sacred 2, but once that's done, I'll be set. Those dates look okay for me, but I do work weekend during day from 9 30 to 5 30. When I get home from work, I'll jump into the servers make a few posts on the forums and we'll click pix of whoever's online, and run a second session on Sunday. gogo Link to comment
Blood Hunter 0 Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Lujate, you forget it: what level characters? Link to comment
gogoblender 3,069 Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Blood Hunter, I had forgotten to put out some words to all the plaeyers on this topic and having so much interest in the passion of Sacred 2! Thanks for helping spread the word, lets hope all this activity can send a good notice to Deep Silver...the fans are here, alive and waiting for more goodies! gogo 1 Link to comment
lujate 578 Posted March 5, 2012 Author Share Posted March 5, 2012 gogo, What time zone are you in? I will edit the original post to show an approximate time for the photo shoots. Blood Hunter, Gold difficulty would probably be best for the photo shoot since it would allow more people to get together in the server. I figure the pics will likely be taken on Start Island, so levels are not quite as important. For those who will actually be gaming, I say just find a group you want to run with and grind away.

And so I have to finish silver in 15 days with a new character? I don't play in closed Link to comment
lujate 578 Posted March 5, 2012 Author Share Posted March 5, 2012 All levels are welcome. For those players who can choose a difficulty, Gold is probably the best. If you have only Silver, then Silver it is. If you have only Niob, that is OK too. Link to comment
Knuckles 904 Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 We can get a Silver and Gold server running......Hoping we have way more than 16 show up so most likely we'll need at least 2-3 servers going anyways Link to comment
Etherian 76 Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 This news of Deep Silver closing Closed-Net servers does not bode well for my stomach! So many questions, with so few answers. So much unfinished business to attend. What happens to our characters? What happens to our gear? Do they also vanish into the dark void of nothing? Count me in as well. I am supposed to work that weekend. I will make it a point to call in sick...*cough* I remain, ~P.S.- was also just about to post a few legendary finds in the thread. Seems pointless now...

lujate 578 Posted March 6, 2012 Author Share Posted March 6, 2012 AFAIK, when the lights go out for the last time, everything you have in Closed goes up in a puff of smoke. I already exported all my characters just to make sure I do not forget to do so later. This event will give those who are inclined an opportunity to export their characters before the end.

Dragon Brother 619 Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Like stubbie already said, the hours may not line up perfectly for us Aussies. I'll have to see how things go depending on my work roster and uni workload, but I'll definitely try to drop in. Link to comment
Flooxim 49 Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 (edited) That will be great fun to get together for that ultimate time. I'll be there most likely on Saturday. I just hope the game won't freeze or crash every 45 minutes. Max Edited March 6, 2012 by Flooxim Link to comment
locolagarto 15 Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 I never thought this day would come...... hoped for Sacred 3 before Closed Net shut down. I'll watch the thread as we get closer to see what time Zone I line up with. Schot needs to put a Count down clock on the homepage for all to see. cheers Loco Link to comment
Flooxim 49 Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Schot needs to put a Count down clock on the homepage for all to see. Awesome idea! I didn't think about the clock. Let's hope he sees these posts soon. Max Link to comment
lujate 578 Posted March 6, 2012 Author Share Posted March 6, 2012 I have updated the original post regarding the photo shoots. They will be in the early evening, Montreal time, both days. Link to comment

Once I came back from my own very long unwelcomed break, I just assumed naturally you would still be around. Also Furian? We used to grind like madmen for hours on end. Case in point, one should not assume. My fault! I remain, Link to comment

Etherian 76 Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Ah, the clock! I'll ask Schot about that. Great idea guys! gogo Any word on the countdown clock? No pressure added upon our healing warrior, Schot. Just curious. I remain, Link to comment
