Today I received an Email from Koch Media, informing me that the Sacred 2 servers will be shut down by the end of March. Here is the full text:
Dear Sacred Fan,
At every end....... there is a NEW beginning!
After four years of free online gaming we have decided to go in a new direction with the Sacred universe.
Because of this, we have to take the server offline at the end of March 2012.
But be rest assured that Sacred will continue! We are extensively working towards a bright future for the series.
Excited? Stay tuned!
Best wishes
Team Sacred

I'm guessing due to no more support they took it off?
