We will be shutting down (shut down) the Dark Alliance servers on 2/24/2025 and it will no longer be available to purchase starting that day. The base game and all DLC are still available to play in offline single player by anyone who currently owns it.

Better start reverse engineering the client server protocol if you wanna to keep playing. When did this game come out?

Honestly there needs to be some legislation requiring gaming companies to release the server software if they decide to retire the game.

Man I really miss the 90's where private servers were how things were done.

In the 90s there were still company-owned servers for certain games such as MMORPGs like Ultima Online; reversers rebuilding servers from ground up helped keep the community alive for all those old addicts. Kal Ort Por

A couple years ago. It was pretty mid.

Worst Baldur's Gate; but a pretty decent Diablo clone.

Edit: Oh this is the newer one that came out in 2021... IDK about that one. I was thinking the original Dark Alliance.

The OG Dark Alliance was my jam back when it first released. Sunk so many hours into it and its sequel (with Dritz). I can hear the song from the tavern in my head as I type. Now I’ve gotta see if I can emulate it somehow.

They're available on GOG and Steam, fyi.

I've been waiting for this to ever be cheap enough. I guess good riddance.
