Ah yes, this. I think I'll just copy'n'paste my comment from deviantart, as I don't really have much else to say:
"I think first of all, before I say anything else, I'd like to give a hella ton of thanks to you CCLM. Thank you for stepping up and deciding to tell us all the well deserved truth, I think I'm right in saying that the whole AK community owes you.
I can't really remember when I joined Aro'kai, it must have been quiet a few years back, but throughout my time there it was immediately evident that there wasn't much progress being made. As much as we were always assured that there was work being done behind the scenes, it was painfully obvious that nothing was really happening. To the lack of updates, to the lack of activity, everything seemed to be on a consistent and steady downhill roll.
And what makes all of this even worse is the fact that the community was so patient. So enduring. And above all just so friendly and welcoming and open. And for what? To have it all shoved back in our faces again?
I am incredibly glad I didn't have the money to be tempted into donating to the AK development, because the lack of evidence as to where the money ended up might be the most disgusting part about all of this. The fact that so many people had enough hope in the progression in this game to invest money in it for so many years, all for it to disappear without a trace, is really just sickening. It's the thought that this whole thing was just a scam for our money that really brings it all crashing down to reality.
It is sincerely heart breaking to see Aro'kai go, with the amazing community and awesome concepts and the years of perseverance.
It it was nice while it lasted, but I think we all knew that we couldn't carry on playing along with their lies forever. "
