Eldonian Sunset

**Greetings, Heroes!**

***All great stories have an ending and, with heavy hearts, we are diving into the final chapter of the Heroic journey.***

***We have made the difficult decision to say goodbye to the Heroic universe. The game has been removed from the App Store and Google Play on 5th of September, 2023, and will be available to play until 6th of December, 2023. All purchase options have been turned off from today and the Heroic servers will be closed permanently on 6th of December, 2023.***

***Heroes we met along the way and the high hopes we had for the game made this decision all that more difficult to take. It has been a privilege to have such a passionate and dedicated community. We are deeply grateful for the love and support you showed us over the years. Thank you Heroes for always bringing your best to the Arena, giving new meaning to Killer Combos, raiding events like true Heroes do and sharing your expertise with the community! We are exceptionally proud to have a community that poured their hearts into this game like we did.***

***All Heroes will receive a thank-you gift through the Inbox section for a nice deck boost. Let’s write these final pages together with fun and competition and send Eldonia off with a bang.***

***Be sure to eternize your achievements with screenshots and use your resources before the game’s servers permanently go offline on 6th of December, 2023.***

***On behalf of everyone from the team: Thank you for being part of the Heroic universe!***

***We hope our paths cross again in other adventures.***

### **Additional information**

#### ***Showdown Tournament***

***On 14th of February 2020, there was a big Update waiting for us in near future, so NORDEUS decided to make first (and very soon we would found out our last) Showdown Tournament in Belgrade. Eight Heroes entered the Arena and only 1 emerged victorious. We had a live stream of this Event on official FB page (https://fb.watch/oQ9ZXXq3BE/) and I was present there in crowd to cheer players up. It was something really special.***

#### ***Update 2.0***

***Version 2.0 was launched on 24th of February, 2020. Eldonia at that time had 12 "buildings", 8 were active and 4 were in "glass" mode.***

***Active were:***

1. ***Guild Raid,***
2. ***Solo Raid,***
3. ***Campaign,***
4. ***Tower of Ascension,***
5. ***Battle Arenas,***
6. ***Colossus Awakening,***
7. ***Capture the Flag and***
8. ***Last Hero Standing.***

***Inactive were (I will share this information for the first time):***

1. ***Guild Wars,***
2. ***2vs2,***
3. ***Survival and***
4. ***Unnamed 2vE.***

***As you know, after some time, there was an update that gave us final look to Eldonia with 7 "buildings"***

### ***Final thoughts***

***So after Update 2.0 future looked great for our game...***

***But then, 9 months later, something happened. Game obviously didn't meet NORDEUS expectations (monetary most likely) and it went from developing mode to maintenance mode. After 50 Seasons Eldonian Sunset came ;-(***

***As author of this Wiki and someone who was fighting for this game to be seen and promote it since the beginning I would like to thank game developers (especially Jole, Aki and JazBKN), game administrators (Đurđa and Riley), players who helped me get data, members of my Guild Might & Magic and Guilds like EVO (WeFirst), Yugoslavia, x25eSports, Rakija and Srbija do Tokija and all the friends that I made for life through this game!***

***To get most off data that I needed I also had to make 2nd account and play everything 2 times (with Magic Dizzy and DizzyJR). Sometimes it was very difficult to get maximum results from Events and Arena, but it was worthy of my free time, every time. This game was my passion because it was made in my country - Serbia, by NORDEUS and very talented Serbian developers.***

***As I have mentioned this many times in various conversations, this game was out of it's time. Maybe it was made too early in mobile gaming history. It had beautiful 4k (or maybe 8k) graphics (in Full HD era), you could place in one line over 30 minions and you could see every single one of them, perfect music, fantastic sounds and unbelievable AI. It was saving phone battery and it never raised heat in my mobile, like many now days games do.***

***So why did game fail developers?***

***I (and not just me) think there were 2 reasons:***

1. ***Marketing and***
2. ***Monetization.***

***When game came out it was just not much visible to new players. There were only few YouTube promoters (2 or 3) and it was not enough. Game had huge quality, that's not a question and also main NORDEUS game, Top Eleven was very popular, but this was obviously not near enough to make it more visible. Also game didn't make it good in Asian region (China) for some unknown reason.***

***Monetization after Update 2.0 has raised a lot of questions among players. It felt just too much offensive. Many deals with not a good price. Also even if you would spend a fortune in the game (like for 2 expensive cars or 1 big apartment) you couldn't reach VIP13 (last) status. You needed to spend half of the money you already gave to get from VIP12 to VIP13. Obviously unbalanced. At some point players suggested Skins for Minions. This would surely be new challenge to everyone and would be interesting to have for example MOUNTAIN GIANT wearing Obelix pants :-D.***
