Faxion Online officially launched only three months ago to pit the forces of Heaven and Hell against each other, but UTV Ignition Games just made the sad announcement that they will be discontinuing the game's live services and shutting down the servers within the next 30 days. The closure will begin this week with the immediate discontinuation of store purchases, online registration and client downloads. Here's the farewell message from community team member Cooldown:

"We’re eternally grateful for all the support, feedback, and competition our players have provided through thick and thin. Faxion’s development was a Herculean effort that some said was impossible given the timeframe and resources we had, and we’re proud to have delivered a PvP-driven experience that people could enjoy. Alas, all good things must come to an end. ... I speak for the entire Faxion Team when I say: Thank you for all the support you’ve shown. Slay on, friends -- one last time!"

Some members of the Faxion team are saying goodbye in the announcement thread. "It was a pleasure. Sad to see it go," said Xanther. "Thank you to everyone who stuck by Faxion and recognized the potential which we believed it had. It was my privilege to work on the game and with such a great team," said UTVMagmonix.
