As you all know, we were in negotiations with L&K and Samsung regarding the future of Red Stone during the past few months and the results are here.
It is with a heavy heart that I am making this announcement. Our contract with L&K and Samsung will expire by the end of this year and it has been decided that we, GamersFirst, will no longer be the host of Red Stone. We will be terminating the services for Red Stone by 31 December, 2009.
The silver lining here is that the game itself will not be shut down completely. As per L&K, they will be taking over the services and the users and will host the game to the western world.
Just another brief update: L&K, originally slated to take over service of Red Stone at the beginning of the year, was not prepared to take over service as expected and has requested that we continue to keep the servers up until they are prepared. Our hope is that they will be prepared by the end of January, but as usual, this is not set in stone and is subject to change.
