Just an update for anyone that still has home nostalgia of the game and might at some point consider wanting to play it again. Kingdom Heroes 2 is re-launching in NA with a new developer called Subagames. They seem to be good. From the interactions with their Project Manager they have said quite clearly that they will not be adding any GM items in to the game like Aeria had and they will minimize P2W. The closed Beta for the game is expected in the coming month (either late August or September). Quite a lot of old players of the game are still interested by the looks of it and they have created a discord for veterans of the game that are considering playing again. The discord is here:
https://discord.gg/JFjtZP. The project manager and GM for the game are also in the discord and are very responsive to questions and suggestions. Apart from that update. I hope you guys are all doing great and hope to see you around. Maybe you'll be back in Kingdom Heroes too who knows.
