Only images remain of this MMO: it disappeared from one day to the next without prior notice because a developer accidentally deleted it | Top News

Have you ever said, “Damn! What bad luck I have in this life!”? We tend to think of the magnificence of the universe as an entity that casually points to us and causes us to attract bad luck. Be it true, be it a lie, maybe what happened with Sankando is manual bad luck. Of that alien to our knowledge. And it is that in addition to suffering problems in the Japanese M2, its MMO, deleted all the files of the game and could never bring it back online.

This game may not sound familiar to many. It’s not just that it didn’t leave Japan, but it’s been a long time since it saw its release. The game landed in the “country of the rising sun” in 2011 for the Hangame video game portal. This still-living website hosts independent experiences with a strong social component. In this case, M2 was something we could compare to a Habbo Hotelbut in Japan and anything else chibi and with highlights

The problem came when the game suffered from certain mistakes that forced a momentary closure for its maintenance. It’s nothing we haven’t seen in even the most massive projects in the industry. In fact, the errors revolved around connection problems and online elements, nothing special. Still, whether it was due to its construction, the studio’s inexperience, or because it wasn’t a “little problem” after all, the studio didn’t know what to do.

The Engadget media picked up at that time that the error mutated and affected the game server. The studio’s tasks piled up as they tried to restore online services until October 21, 2011, when he was never heard from again. No one had made a backup prior to the bug, so the base game was lost forever.

Someone erased all the previous data to leave the most up-to-date version of the MMO, the one that, incomprehensibly, ended up being corrupted until they couldn’t save it. The game He disappeared and could never be restored. Of course, this situation led the Japanese to make a decision. What were they going to do, start from 0 with the same game or accept their defeat in the face of almost universal bad luck and announce their final goodbye?

Whether it was because they couldn’t restart it or by the huge cost that involved Build the same game again. Sankando took the blame and announced refunds to the affected players. This accidental deletion of the stable version of the game prevented even those who invested money in the game—apparently, it included certain gacha elements with microtransactions—not seeing even a small part of what they had “lost”. You say bad luck.
