Relaunch Complete

9Dragons has relaunched as part of the stable of free-to-play MMOs in the GamersFirst stable. 9Dragons had originally been distributed and published by Acclaim Games but was 'turned off' when Acclaim gave up distribution rights to all of its MMOs. To celebrate the game's launch as a GamersFirst title, devs have implemented a Level Up Event from now through November 21st.

Protect Your Assets

GamersFirst has let us know that Acclaim will be shutting down 9Dragons servers tonight. As originally reported, the transition from Acclaim's publication of the game to GamersFirst was to take place in September and was to be a seamless move to transfer all characters to the new servers. The move seems to be an obvious tantrum on Acclaim's part for inexplicable reasons. To that end, GamersFirst is encouraging players to take digital inventory, screenshots and more.

GamersFirst Taking Over Publishing

Beginning in September, 9Dragons will be published by GamersFirst according to a press statement released by the gaming portal. Gamers currently playing 9Dragons under Acclaim's publication will continue their service uninterrupted when the game changes hands next month. 9Dragons is a martial arts MMO from Korean developer Indy21. To celebrate the new publisher, Indy21 has released a new and impressive trailer.
