About Tales of Eternia: Online

The first of the Tales franchise to be launched as an MMORPG, this title is produced and maintained as a joint venture between Namco and Dwango. Although the game's Japanese release was originally slated for the spring of 2005, the first phase of closed beta testing was greatly delayed and didn't begin until July 7, 2005. The second closed beta test phase was released on January 16, 2006, followed by an open beta from February 16 - 28, 2006. The official service for the game was formally opened on March 3, 2006.

In January 2007, Namco announced that the game would be taken offline on March 31st, after having been online for only a year. The reason for the discontinuation of service was due to the declining number of player accounts.
