We want to apologize for all the Dark And Darker Gold, instability, and hurdles that you had to endure during this playtest,” Ironmace writes on the Dark and Darker Discord. “The quality did not meet our standards and we will focus on improving the game for our fans in the future. Unfortunately, there won’t be an extension of this playtest and it will end on 20 April 2023. As always, we will share the data from this playtest shortly.

“As for the company, we will do everything possible to get the game to our fans as soon as possible and update you as much as we can. Thank you once again for your tremendous support and we’ll see you in the dungeons!”

Following this update on the Dark and Darker playtests, Ironmace added that it is “currently under attack involving logins,” which comes as a Dark and Darker DDoS attack hit the game as well. Ironmace has been attempting to keep the servers stable since these attacks began, but it looks like this current playtest will end without an extension buying Dark And Darker Gold among the ongoing issues.
