GUROPAN (aka pangya_eu fiasco)



This is such a hot topic right now that you're probably most aware of it but I decided to post a little something myself as well anyway !

All you need to know is basically here :

http://www.pangya-eu.com/news/sg-interactive-get-pangya-eu-license-and-merge-eu-and-us-services-welcome-to-global-pangya

Many blogs also reported about the news...

Some facts and my opinion on the matter :

- Galaxy Games only took the game for 3 months. Like one week before the game close, they organized a "twice more cookies" event. Obviously they just wanted to make as much money as possible before dropping the license.
Netizens looking for a responsible digged up the only owner of Galaxy Games, a so called [EDITED : Apparently that was kinda illegal to reveal his name and one of his social network page so I removed it]. He was a consultant for goa which is super weird if you ask me.

- SG Interactive called its pangya serveur "Global Pangya" for the Pangya World Championship (PWC) and surprised everyone.
Global Pangya = guropan. Grotesque Pangya. I believe the pun originally comes from a well known japanese pangya blogger but I now use it to call the global pangya serveur.
Pangya EU wasn't part of the PWC event but it now makes sense since it's becoming part of Guropan.

- I really feel bad for european players who will basically loose everything. Actually I'm part of it too, and I decided to record my account since it will be destroyed very soon.



I don't know if I can use my Guropan account along with my Pangya EU account to get papel boxes and 20k pangs ? Doesn't really matter but would still be nice !

It is nice that they are lifting the european ban but the cost is a bit too high if you ask me...

If you're planning to move from europe to guropan, don't forget to enter my giveaway for a chance to win free elfen ears (a) or a ssaf (c) ! It's running for another week, don't miss it !

Actually, I think you can. It's not just for new registrations. ^^ Which is why I'm trying to get my EU account to Junior before the switch, lol.
