Late last November, international game publisher HanbitSoft learned of servers illegally running the MMO, "Tantra." After five months of research, the company compiled their information and presented it to the North American Internet Data Center. The result? The servers have all been shut down.
Ki Young Kim, HabitSoft's CEO, said "HanbitSoft will take strict action towards those running illegal servers overseas," adding "this is inevitable to eliminate the damages of HanbitSoft and our partners, and most importantly, innocent gamers abroad."
The funniest part about the whole deal -- well to me at least -- is that "Tantra" has been a free-to-play MMO since November 22, 2006. Maybe the pirates didn't get the memo, or maybe they just wanted free access to all the goods in the item mall. Either way they were busted. Will others like them continue similar actions, even after this news? Probably.
