White Knight Chronicles servers to close in June

The online servers for both White Knight Chronicles 1 and 2 are being closed rather unceremoniously on June 18th.

Level-5 and Sony's PS3-exclusive White Knight Chronicles franchise never attracted the same kind of fanbase of, say, Demon's Souls. So, the online servers for both WKC 1 and 2 are being closed rather unceremoniously on June 18th.

A notice on the forums confirms the date, and notes that offline play will be unaffected by the server closure. "Thank you for your support till now. We hope you will still enjoy playing offline," the posting says.

Although the post only mentions the first game, its sequel will also be shut down on the same day, according to a tweet from the PlayStation account.

        No, they are not like Demon's Souls at all. They're middling JRPGs with pseudo-realtime combat, terrible character designs, horrid plot/dialogue and are easily ignored.

      So it's just some mp component that's affected? What kinda modes would a jrpg even have?

        The multiplayer included a separate 4-player (maybe more?) co-op system where you went and completed missions, mostly involving killing monsters. There was also a town you could set up, and a whole ton of gear you'd never see in-game without doing the online stuff.
