BIC's contract negotiations with Gravity proved difficult, with BIC unable to secure a long-term contract to the game license. In July 2010, BIC announced that due to the inability of the two parties to come to an agreement, it would be withdrawing its latest offer and would thus lose its rights to host the game. A closing date of September 30, 2010 was announced on September 8, and free access to the game was made available from September 15 until the shutdown of the game. Players were given the option to transfer their characters to fRO a few months later. The last update euRO received prior to shutting down was Episode 13.1: Ash Vacuum. euRO was notable in the fact that it never opened a true Kafra Shop item mall, instead releasing a series of Headgear Bundles. euRO was also only one of two servers at the time of its shutdown to not have a Free to Play option.
