美版天堂要關了......... - 天堂

"Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened." Dr. Suess

不要為它的結束而哭泣，要為曾經發生過的而微笑。--蘇斯博士

There is no good way to say this, but I have always been straight with you
guys so no dancing around on this one.

這實在不是一個什麼好機會來告訴大家這件事，但我會一直在你們身邊，所以不要太
執著於這件事上。

After much deliberation, NCsoft has made the difficult decision to shut down
Lineage servers in its Western markets. Unfortunately, after more than 10
years, the original Lineage franchise is no longer financially viable in the
West. On June 29, 2011, at the normal maintenance time, all the original
Lineage North American servers maintained by NCsoft will shut down
permanently.

經過我們多次認真考慮，NCsoft 最終做出了關閉西方市場的天堂伺服器這個決定。
不幸的，經過了十年，我們已經不再擁有原本的天堂經營權了。在 2011 年的 6 月
29 日，這個原本的維修時間，所有天堂北美伺服器將永久關閉。

We are committed to refunding any unused game time that might have already
been applied to your account. If you are due a refund, refunds will be made
automatically back to the method of payment that was originally used in most
cases. Please see our complete refund policy for details.

我們承諾會以退費的方式退回你們沒還用上的時數卡。在大部分的情況下，這些退款
會自動退回你們用以付費的那些管道。請查看我們的完整退費方案細節。

As of today, no new accounts can be created. We will no longer charge anyone
whose account is set to recurring billing, and Time Cards can no longer be
used to add additional game time. We have reactivated all existing accounts
in good standing, and everyone can play for free for the remaining time that
the servers are open.

從今天開始，新帳號將不能夠創立。我們不再接受任何人的付費、月卡。我們將重新
啟用所有已有的、而且沒被鎖住的帳號，在天堂剩下的時間裡，每個人都可以免費進
行遊戲。

Nyx, Jetzen, and Unicycle plan to go out with a bang. We will not be making
any additional content updates, but we do have US Ruleset changes and lots of
great events planned for the next two months. We want to give you every
opportunity to make all of your remaining Lineage dreams come true. We hope
that everyone will stick around to have fun with the game you love in the
time we have left. See this thread for a calendar of events, and to make
additional suggestions.

GM 們原先的改版跟活動計畫也都砰的一聲付諸流水了，我們不再安排任何更新，但在
接下來的兩個月裡，我們會維持美版天堂的專屬設定和許多大型活動。我們希望把機會
都給你，讓你能夠在剩下的時間裡完成你全部的天堂夢想。我們希望大家都能夠留下來
繼續這個你曾喜愛的遊戲，並從中得到樂趣，即使是在最後的這些時光裡。請在另一篇
裡看看我們的活動日程，並給出你的建議。

We know that we have incredibly loyal fans that have stood by us for the past
ten years. As painful as it was, as a business, we had to make a very
difficult, but necessary, decision. We thank you for your continued support.
We want you to know that we will be offering you a chance to try other NCsoft
games for free to express our gratitude for your years of loyalty to Lineage.

我們知道這裡有許多死忠的粉絲們在過去的十年中一直支持我們。所以，難過的是，因
為商業的緣故，我們只能做出一個非常困難但必須做出的決定。我們感謝你的繼續支持。
我們希望你能知道我們將提供一些機會讓你們免費試試別款 NCsoft 的遊戲，這單純只
是因為你們這些年來死忠支持天堂的緣故。

We have tried to anticipate the questions you might have. An FAQ is available
here. If your question is not addressed there, you may ask here and we will
try to answer to the best of our ability.

我們猜你們會有非常多的問題想問。在這個討論串我們將會回答你們的問題。如果你的
提問並不能在別的地方解決，你可在此發問，我們會嘗試盡力回答你的問題。

With great respect to you, our players,

謝謝你們，

Nyx, Jetzen, and Unicycle

GM 群敬上
