Fury Servers closing

It looks like the team at Auran had a hard time and too little in fact to find a viable business model in order to survive. They started a game that looked good but with a P2P biz model and when they realised that it’s not gonna work, announced a Free 2 Play for life sub. There were plenty of players getting on the wave and trying the game but it seems the business was meant to fail anyway.
Auran team announced in the official forums that game servers and website itself will be closed in 48 hours.
The original statement for the records and because very soon it will not be available from the main source was:

We have reached our time limit to find a solution that would help us keep the Fury servers open. Sadly, no solution has been found and so we have no alternative than to shut the servers down in 48 hours.

To all those players who have enjoyed Fury and played countless battles, I am sorry that we could not find a viable business model that would allow you to continue playing. To all those naysayers and doomsdayers, we know that deep down you wanted Fury to succeed. Have fun with your parting wishes. :)

To the Auran team, who put their heart and soul into making Fury, thanks for your efforts. As I said many times before, we need to be much better than the competition to have a chance of succeeding. We gave it everything we had and history now judges that it still wasn’t good enough.

Whilst this marks the end of the Fury chapter, who knows what the future may bring. There were many gems hidden within Fury and many lessons learned. Hopefully one day the full potential can be realized in some other form.

So for now, so long and thanks for all the fish.

P.S. We informed all stores more than a month ago to remove stock from their shelves. If you have purchased a copy of Fury in the past month, we suggest you return it to the store.
P.P.S. This website will also close down in 48 hours.
