Less than two years after its western launch, the once-popular free-to-play MMORPG MapleStory 2 is shutting down its global servers for good.

Less than two years after launching, MapleStory 2 will have its global servers shut down. The servers will officially go dark on May 27.

Both MapleStory 2’s global and Japanese servers will be shut down starting on May 27, two years after launch, the developers announced. The MMO will continue service in China and Korea.
