Im crying, This game is my whole childhood and iv spent so much on it

Is there at least any fraction of good news? There might never be a game quite like this again

Despite all the shortcomings of the game, which I have long come to terms with, it has always remained a dream game for me, with a cool and elaborate, cozy world in which you can always escape from reality. There are no similar games and probably never will be.

I've been in the game almost since its inception, and I still remember my first emotions when I first launched it. An indescribable delight when I realized how many adventures awaited me. My first flight on a dragon that I raised myself from an egg, funny adventures of cartoon characters, the spirit of speed in racing.

And now I have long been an adult, but I am still glad to return sometimes to my favorite game. I still save crystals, dreaming of the moment when I will have the perfect viking with the best dragon, how I will go through the entire storyline of the game and reveal all the secrets of the game. Up to this day.

When I saw this news, something broke in me. It's like some part of my childhood is gone forever.

Not sure if it will be getting a reboot or anything. It's really depressing to see this game go. Can only hope that they either recreate it with updated mechanics or another company buy the rights and remake it. I doubt this game will be remade though, httyd is not in its hayday anymore.

This is ♥♥♥♥♥♥ heartbreaking. I was feeling quite alright just about 6 minutes ago, when a friend sent me a screenshot.

Dude..... I've played the game for the first time back before HTTYD2 was released and I think for a short time I actually got to see the in-game hiccup without the flight suit that we knew afterwards, like just the old classic hiccup with the brown vest, back when the game toolbar and shop and whatsoever had like brown and old style "frames", but that all doesn't matter now.

The thing is, I used to suck at English back than and I had my mom translate stuff for me, which was always so great. Back then, having a single dragon was so nice and seeing other people with the skrill or whatsoever was like amazing. This game was always the type of game you could always return to, and it most definitely cheer you up, even when you were feeling down. Years later, I'm now 16 and have spent like 100€ on the game and stuff, I feel so, empty.... I just don't know what to say. All I can do is ask... why? Like I understand the game ain't the best and highest quality of em all and it also has pretty few active players I think, like on that we can agree but I still don't see a reason to shut such wonderful memories down....

Dragons in general, were some of my favorite movies and Dragons Race to the Edge as much as Dragons Riders of Berk or whatever, were by far my favorite childhood series. All I can do now is play the game for a little while, just for old time's sake. Maybe someone would also care to join me, if that's the case, you can find my discord on my profile, I really feel like I'd talk to someone about it and do it while playing SoD with them. Anyways, thanks for reading this long boring text and in a way, listening to my words, Cya.

i remember playing this too when i was a kid, i had membership too back then

I'm extremely upset about this. It was a good game while it lasted, yes... but I payed good money for this. Lots of good money so that I could have a nice experience with this game. All of that is now wasted in the end, and I got this news whilst in the middle of grinding Fireball Frenzy games to level up my dragon without the use of gems or quests as I had none avaliable...

I would have been alright with the possible server shutting down aspect of it, perhaps changing it to a full singleplayer game with no further updates, but with all my progress and thousands of hours placed into this game going right down the drain? It's just upsetting, very upsetting.

I know exactly how you feel, this is a really disappointing turn of events

The game team would have to keep the whole base of the game without the MMO. It would be great if they made a downloadable version of the game where everything is played single player. I would even be ready to pay for this downloadable version as long as the price remains correct. It would be a great compromise for everyone.

I was irked when I heard this news. I play it mostly on my phone, but when I got the news the game was shutting down, I was upset because now all the progress I made on it is going to be for nothing. I really hate it whenever a game dev team decides to shut down an MMO RPG game despite thousands of people playing it. They'd have to have a good reason or else it would be very inconsiderate of them.

Is there a reason? I can't find any reason for why

think it may be related to a lawsuit or something, heres a the link to what i read- https://www.reddit.com/r/SchoolofDragons/comments/143hq52/school_of_dragons_is_shutting_down/

I have a Subscription on this game for close to 86 New Zealand Dollars and now this news has come out so it means I have what 20 more days if I get charged for the June Subscription on the 27th of this month I'm going to be even more annoyed. But other wise I have enjoyed the game maybe I will just have either buy Hogwarts Legacy or focus more on my cell phone game Rise of Berk I am also playing into the wild Hunting game.

Honestly I'm surprised that it lasted this long. It's for the best.
