[Server Closing] – Farewell Patch Notes for Defenders of the Cross

The Community of D.O.T.C, a vibrant and hopeful hub for gamers of all backgrounds, is now facing its final moments. As we bid farewell to this beloved Server, it’s essential to reflect on the journey that brought us here. From its humble beginnings to its eventual decline, Defenders of the Cross has left an indelible mark on the gamers & people who worked hard on this game.

But as all good things must come to an end, the time has come for this cherished game to close its servers. The news that by now has already spread like wildfire among the community, leaving many feeling a deep sense of loss and nostalgia. Many found themselves in tears, since Defenders of the Cross affected their lives so greatly.

As the countdown to the game’s closure begins, players from all corners have started sending their expressions in the virtual world again to bid farewell to the characters and landscapes they have come to know and love. Emotions are still running high as friends and rivals alike keep sharing stories of their adventures and memories made within the game. It is a bittersweet moment, filled with laughter and tears as players are reflecting on the impact the game had on their lives, stories left incomplete and those they are still trying to finish.

But even as the game comes to an end, the memories and friendships forged within its virtual walls will live on forever in the hearts of those who had experienced its magic. And so, with a heavy heart but a sense of gratitude for the journey they had shared, players & game moderators bid a heartfelt goodbye to the game that had brought them together and changed their lives in ways they never could have imagined.

We sing praises to the leaders, Defenders and those that always have contributed to D.O.T.C. In the final moments before the servers shut down, we hope you all have a sense of unity and camaraderie. Players standing side by side, holding hands and sharing one last moment of solidarity before the screen faded to black. And as the game closed its doors for the last time, we want all of you to know that to us in the Development Staff of Defenders of the Cross, we hope this is not the end. We are thankful for everything, without you we would not have been able to share and tell these amazing stories.

Defenders All,
-D.O.T.C Staff
