Hey Lamosq1027,

It's been a really long time since I've typed here in this wikia. I'm going to have a lot to say just because it's been a while. I check here time to time, just to re-inform myself on what used to happen in this game. Although, we can no longer play this game, I still intend to finish reading where I left off in the story. I've made some mistakes in the past to not finish the story but hey at least I've learnt something from them. I remember using that mammoth statue to get to like 1 million points by buying and selling that statue until one time I sold it and poof gone forever. I used to regret losing that statue but now that the game's gone, I don't regret it at all anymore since we've lost everything anyways.

I was going to continue finishing the Rise of Tyrants wiki but I've lost the footage due to my own error. Again, at least I've learnt something from that so it doesn't happen again. I might put some more photos of whatever I still do have just to share some memories with whomever shows up there.

I didn't really know when the forums were going to be shut down so I didn't manage to save really anything on there so if anyone has something to share from there, feel free as it's all pretty much lost to me both on the BN and RoT forums. At least our signatures are still accessible by PB but I should really save that too just in case since I never visit there and one day it could be gone before I know it.

There's still Frontier Chronicles to look forward to. They've just posted a photo on November 23rd, only 1 week ago. I look forward to that be it 2018, 2019, 2020 or longer but hopefully sooner rather than later. We've lost the fight to save BN but we shouldn't give up hope yet as Frontier Chronicles should give us the potential that BN didn't but should've had.

What I've been doing since BN was well right after I had to finish RoT. That was my first priority and I'm proud to have accomplished that, regardless of lost footage. Then I had to finish Monopoly Slots which was a game after Monopoly Hotels which was in my opinion a great game but obviously was lost potential. Then Club Penguin was getting shut down and I stayed till the very moment it ended. There's Club Penguin Rewritten but I've been missing events so hopefully in December I'll play even with missing some limited items. Then Minions Paradise got shut down and I remembered everything I've learnt from my previous mistakes. I actually completed all of the story and completely maxed out (Ok, about 90% but good enough to me). I was able to record my entire playthrough and I was really happy to complete it but sad it ended (this was in April/May).

Then I had a feeling that MetalStorm: Online was going to get shut down soon because it somehow survived all this time. BN, TN, Aces & RoT got shut down. I knew it was too good to be true for MetalStorm: Online to survive much longer. Then on June 13th, 2017, I found out that MetalStorm: Online was going to be shut down on July 31st, 2017. I knew this was the end of Z2 because all of their other old games already got shut down. I still waited till the last week to complete the game. I still haven't learnt, I know. I got up from level 14.5 to 30 in a matter of days. I played MS:O previously because I thought it was going to die in 2016. I completed the short story and upgraded only a couple planes because any effort but the planes I'd use were pointless. I'm happy with that result but sad Z2 has finally ended. At least, there's nothing left for them to shut down anymore. It's all gone now.

In Conclusion, it was fun playing BN, joining the forums, I've learnt from many mistakes of incompleting certain important things, 2016 - 2017 were to me the years were they ended their games and they finally let them to rest which is at least as sad as it is probably for the best now. At least, they didn't continue to further update the game and cause it to be an even further mess than it was like when they made pointless units drop from the mech soldier causing you to lose 50% of Rank XP. It made it much more impossible to get anywhere anyways. It was too much work for not much gain as it would've been all lost regardless. The only thing I'd change in my playthrough in 2016 would've been to complete the story and unlock everything before the end. At that point, enemies are really easy and don't require any further ranking. If some did require ranking, I'd just do the minimal effort. The 1-2mill Rank XP for maxing is useless. Well, guess I need another paragraph.

Yeah, I didn't really get to say goodbye to anyone other than my guildmates in-game and in my message box. It's been like 5 years since I've first heard of the game. I think it was Nov 13th, 2012. I remember I used to play everyday when I first started and then it went bad for me the next few years, only doing the minimal for BSs and then after BSs, not doing much after which was unfortunate for me.

Since BN has been gone, I've moved on to other mobile games such as Hearthstone and DragonSoul. I know Hearthstone is owned by Blizzard/Activision who own King and Z2 so I refuse to spend anything anymore even though I've spent a few dollars there but I will not spend any money there because I don't trust them. The game is going down a bad path, it's a pay to win game, you need all the top tier cards or you just lose to them at high ranks which is important to compete at all.

DragonSoul isn't doing great either. The original company was called Per Blue who got bought last year by Gree. You know what they nickname Gree as? Simply Greed. Think of them as like a "King" and "Z2" are Per Blue. This game is only 2 years old and many people are already bored and upset at this game. It's going down the same path as BN did from 2014 - late 2015. They are releasing 2-3 heroes per month. They don't even let you buy the hero straight up. You've got to purchase these stupid chests which are of course random. Once you've got like 10, 30 or 80 stones you can unlock them but you need 330 stones to max them out. Good luck even with spending money. Just think of BN Vaults but on pretty much every hero they release.

They are greedy, if not greedier than Z2. Z2 is nothing compared to them. Why am I still playing it? It's because good games like this shouldn't be treated this way. I'm not going to let another good mobile game get shutdown as easily as BN did. I'll do down with a fight. They have forums too but they don't listen, ya know same thing different game. That's all what I've got to say. Just take it how it is. BN isn't the only game that's being treated this way, many other good mobile games are taken and ruined by greed and we need to stop this. It's unfortunate we weren't able to save BN but maybe we can save DragonSoul. I may have only been playing since June 2017 but I've been following it since like Oct 10th, 2016 like just a few days after BN died. That's it for now, thanks for reading my very long but important rant. If this is my last message on this site, goodbye everyone. It's been a pleasure meeting you all. I loved every moment of it, the good and the bad.
