Wind Slayer is Officially Dead
On July 22nd, only two days after the GMS "Age of Battle," Update went live, MMORPG Company Outspark decided to post an unsettling announcement among Outspark fans.

Outspark will pull the plug on Windslayer on August 10th.
To those of you that never played/heard of Windslayer, it was a 2D side-scrolling MMO that somewhat compared to Maple Story a couple of years ago. Unfortunately, that game suffered a lack of critical updates, game balancing and even events to keep the game interesting. (Picture Maple Story with back when Papulatus was the latest content and having the game stay that way to this very day and it's roughly the same thing).
I never really attached myself to that game myself, but I certainly gave it a chance. Believe it or not, two years ago, that game had the same features that Maplers just recently received: The ability to mine for ores, forge your own equips and the ability to engage in a variety of PVP modes in a fast-paced, stylized 2D setting.
And now the game is gone.. I am dedicating this thread in memory of this game. A game that closes is a community that has to disband against their will, and I'm sure some people can relate to that hard feeling. If you would like to offer your condolences (right here, of course) feel free to do so.

I preferred this art-style above Windslayer
and I never did like their Paladin class... they were even more underpowered than what the White Knights were before Big Bang..
the design of the game always scared me
never even knew the game existed, & their legs are too awkward like how huge maple avatars's heads are.
