Aeria Games' community team has gone on record to soothe the nerves of the Echo of Soul NA and EU community after the recent closures of both Korean and Chinese iterations of the game. According to PM_Bacon, Aeria has received assurances from Nivius' CEO that publication of the game as it is and development of new content is assured beginning with the introduction of PvP Season 2.
So what happened in China? Explaining why the Chinese version of Echo of Soul was closed is actually pretty easy: they had massive problems with hacking/botting, this annoyed players and the game was performing very badly because of that. They ran into those problems because the Chinese publisher opted to launch the game without an anti-hack solution which in hindsight was not a good decision.
