I have been mourning EA's decision to annex DG as soon as it was announced and I have been working my hardest to raise awareness and try nd get other companies interested in keeping both these people and this world I've come to love alive, and I will not stop until the game has a secure spot in someone's metaphysical arms (even their own).

Now, I know this game is published by EA, and they probably won't just had an IP over without a payment, so I propose that Riot talk to some individuals at EA (more specifically the people who control the licence) and ask how much in dollars it would take to give the intellectual property to them, and if they don't want to pay right then and there, they can open up an RP-based (or normal cash based) donation pool with a set goal and rewards if it succeeds, for people to pay a selected amount of RP at a time to generate buzz, interest, and good publicity for once, once they get enough money, they will go to EA and Rito will have two Mobas 0_0

In all seriousness, this could be really good for content creation if they were being developed jointly and indirectly together, you could share ward skins amongst both games, have announcers for both titles (imagine Renzo announcing a SR match, or Mordekaiser telling you that your spirit well was taken), or even open the floodgate for crossover events to occur and create a larger and stronger community for this game.

I would appreciate it if someone at riot would reply to this post and negotiate some sort of plan of action, because I really want thiis game to live, and I will be devoted wholeheartedly to you all if you bring this back to life, you don't know how much this game matters to me. Amumu

i will agree to this as long as the original members of team waystone are working on the Dg.

I would also put forth money for this to happen. Although this would most likely take $1M+ to do. It is EA... I do like the idea of having my Fenmore be my League announcer... What I do at least is transition between two or three MOBAs. Get bored with one and i move to another. Currently this is Smite, Dawngate, and League. Soooo that means more income for Riot too... Dont make me sad Amumu

i support this idea, try and keep the team heads at waystone since so far theyre doing a relatively good job. I would like to see dawngate survive EA's axing

Sorry to be the negative nancy, but it's EA. They would want a ridiculous amount of money for the ip, and honestly the game just isn't worth it. There's a reason why it has died before it even made it out of beta. Just a bad business decision for anyone to take it up

the more MOBAs that exist the harder it will be for everyone to queue in every single one of them.

it already takes me 3-4mins for most dominion matches

Wouldn't two moba's in one company splits the potential for each game in half?

Riot, ditch the games and take their server equipment to better league of legends access around the nation.

There's a reason it's getting dropped, and it's probably because it won't make enough money.

Riot already has a strong foothold in MOBAs. Hiring people from Dawngate may be useful, but I don't think purchasing the IP itself will do much for Riot. If Riot were to purchase an IP they would do it in order to strengthen their foothold in other genres, rather than buy a bunch of MOBAs out. It's all about diversification.

I see no reason why Riot couldn't get some DG charaters for league, but the whole game, not happening.

Moya would be great as a female non human, something we have been asking for.

If I was Riot I would offer the creators a chance to keep their art alive in League. Try and get some Shapers that go together.

Renzo, and Zuri would be awesome and could fit into League as protectors of Runtera's art.

Please RIOT make it happen !. I know that Dawngate does not have big community but you would have 2 communities at ONCE.With proper advertismant this game can become BIG.It can become brother or sister of League of Legends and that would be something AMAZING.I like LOL but Dawngate is for me only MOBA that i was really serious about.Dawngate as a game,developers and its community deserves it T_T
