The servers are staying open and our accounts will be migrated to the Japanese version. I am drained from the constant fighting but incredibly relieved that the story survives. We have to keep an eye on the transition process to make sure it happens as promised.

On the morning of September 21, 2021, an official announcement was released on @MankaiCompanyEN’s Twitter page stating that the English server for Liber Entertainment Inc.’s and CYBIRD’s popular joseimuke game A3! will be shutting down and no longer updating after late October. Since then, there has been a devastating wave of grief surging through the game’s English-speaking players and community. As a release day player myself, I have complete sympathy for the others taking this tragic news hardly. The game has stood firm from its release in October 2019 by curating a beautifully localized story and expanding on its richly diverse cast of characters in a new light, different from its sister server in Japanese. It’s due to the translation staff’s care that English players will always love the game for its uniqueness and remarkable ability to comfort those in need. As of now, the English server is said to remain accessible to players with the exception of no longer updating the story, tryouts, or future event stories. Any further steps taken would most likely be the game’s complete closure, making it inaccessible. In order to prevent any further loss, this petition has been set up to bring awareness to Liber Entertainment Inc. and CYBIRD that the English A3! community wishes to express our love and devotion to the game and voice our desire to help find a solution that won’t end with heartbreak during the app’s end of operations. Such solutions include allowing players on the English server to transfer their data to the Japanese server without losing any of their hard earned cards, rank, stories, currency, etc. if respectively possible. Another option could be to completely merge the English server with the Japanese server. The most feasible solution is to allow an English option to be implemented into the Japanese version of the A3! app as a “language patch” for previous English server players and new English players first starting out. These various methods could not only bring more player revenue back to the Japanese server, but also bring morale to the community as a whole by allowing English players to continue reading and enjoying brand new events simultaneously with the Japanese players, something that we were never able to do before.
(Updates will be made to the description to further clarify or add solution possibilities)
UPDATE - March 10, 2022
Thank you everyone for your support and effort put into this petition! It was submitted to CYBIRD, however, unfortunately, the decision to end A3’s English server was still executed as of March 9, 2022. This petition is now closed for any future signatures now that A3 English service has officially ended and will no longer be operable. May we meet again on stage someday, Mankai Company!

The silence from the company is heavy and persistent but I am still sending emails into the void. It is exhausting to see the lack of acknowledgement for the community we built together. Please know that I am not walking away from this yet.

The exhaustion of these past few days is heavy but seeing the signature count climb keeps me moving. We need to push through this current threshold to ensure our request remains visible to the company. Please send this link to others so we can hit our goal and show them we are not going anywhere.

I love A3! and have been devastated by this news. Even if a merger isn’t feasible, I hope this petition can show Cybird and Liber that A3! EN was well loved and that we hope it can remain in some form as long as possible <3
The show must go on! Truly I am beyond thankful for having the opportunity to discover this serious through the quarantine. It was the one respite I had during the rough times! I would love to see any option that would allow me to keep all my hard work from the past couple years!
Please let the merger happen. Not everyone can understand Japanese and have immediate access to translations. I believe that most of us in the EN servers would love to be continued to be immersed in the story of A3! in a language we understand.
A3! has brought me and many others so much comfort and fond memories over the past two years. It would be a shame to just lose all the progress a lot of is made in the game as well. I believe a server merge would bring the fans a lot closer as well. Please, consider it!!!
After hearing the announcement, I was extremely devastated as I realised that I will lose all of my hard earned cards if I were to start a new account on the Japanese server. I love A3 so much but I can't see my collected cards go to dump like that ..
This game has been my favorite to play since I relate to these characters in their acting journeys so much. I've done community acting for years before this game and since the pandemic started, the game kept that spark alive for me in the hopes that I could feel the joy of being on stage again. This game and its characters are so close to my heart, it hurts me to not know what happens to them now. Please let us merge into the JPN server.
I am not sure if this petition will do anything in the end but I will sign and do the most I can to help. Ty A3! EN!

A3en is my comfort game, and I've considered the whole mankai co. my family and part of happiness. I have the means to transfer to the jp server, but I've chosen to stay and wait for the events in EN because I can understand it and be fully immersed in the story.
