Ok, so I'm kind of stealing that title from Game Informer's Phillip Kollar. But you know what, it's true. After only 3 Months, APB is officially shutting down it's servers as of tomorrow 9/17/2010.
The community officer for APB had this to say,
"APB has been a fantastic journey, but unfortunately that journey has come to a premature end. Today we are sad to announce that despite everyone's best efforts to keep the service running; APB is coming to a close. It's been a pleasure working on APB and with all its players. Together we were building an absolutely amazing game, and for that, we thank you. You guys are awesome!"
This was expected ever since the company went into administration just last month. Personally, the game left a foul taste in my mouth after having to hunt around for multiple beta keys during the "Key to the City" event. Joe and Jervan liked it a lot, but I didn't share their enthusiasm. They burned themselves out on it after about 2-4 weeks, but they have been talking about maybe trying it after Realtime Worlds possibly tweaked a few things. Well, I'm sorry to them that they will never get to see any changes. Perhaps they can post later with their feelings of it (if Joe can get ahold of a computer, for he's headed to Disney Land as I type) closing.
