Touken Ranbu Traditional Chinese Server Shuts Down, International Server Closures Spark Concerns for Mainland Server

Today, a major piece of news hit the gaming forums: the Traditional Chinese server for the long-running title 'Touken Ranbu' has officially announced its closure. The OP was shocked by the lack of prior discussion, joking, 'Has Touken Ranbu really become this irrelevant?' Reports also suggest the English server is facing the same fate. These consecutive shutdowns have left fans deeply concerned about the stability of the mainland Chinese server.

The community discussion has been intense. Some players noted they quit long ago when the web-based client was shut down, while others observed that the mainland server is currently 'barely holding on' but still active, with a new server even launching earlier this year. However, veterans pointed out that the game is effectively a 'jail-like' grind, relying entirely on 'chu-li' (the deep emotional attachment players have for characters). With the popularity of franchise spin-offs waning, it is becoming increasingly difficult for new players to join and for veterans to stay. While the original Japanese server continues to thrive, players are growing increasingly skeptical and hesitant to spend money on other regional versions.
