# Dragonstone is coming to a close. ### Where's Dragon Been? Greetings ! I know it has been quite some time since I've communicated here, so I'd like to share an update with you all. As of June 2026, I joined the Runeteria server team as an Environmental & VFX Designer. This is pretty much my dream come true, and we are working towards creating the best high fantasy MMORPG server possible within Hytale! This is where 100% of my creative energy has been going for these past few months. Unfortunately, due to this, I have had no time or drive to continue working on Dragonstone. Turns out, working with a team is much more fun than trying to do everything yourself! Who could've guessed? ### The Final Cycle ⌛ It is sadly time to announce that Dragonstone will be coming to an end. As much as I wish I could keep the servers running forever, in the age of AI & rapid exploitation, the internet is becoming more and more unsafe for home-hosted servers. I sadly do not have the time to keep everything patched and updated like I used to. We had a good run, and I wanted to thank everyone for all the fun memories we made together over the past decade. I wouldn't be in this position today without you all! ### Shutdown Dates ##### Dragonstone Hytale: - Shutting down on **December 1st, 2026.** ##### Dragonstone Minecraft: - Shutting down on **January 1st, 2027.** ### Dragonstone Discord: - Will remain as an archive. A couple of general channels will remain open for chatting, while all others will be made read-only. - I am also open to turning this place into a guild chat for a Dragonstone guild on Runeteria if enough people are interested! ### Hytale Giveaway 🎁 As thanks for sticking around for so long, I'm going to be giving away 10 copies of Hytale over the next few weeks! **To participate:** I want to hear your favorite memories from Dragonstone! Everything from 1.13, to the chaos of 1.16, all the way up to 1.21. Make a new post in #memories on discord and write something for me! Post your favorite screenshots too if you like! I will read them all and pick my favorites! ### Runeteria Invitation Finally, for anyone interested, I wish to extend you all an invitation to join Runeteria and give us a try! I often hang out in the server hub if you wanna chat, plus you can enjoy the vibes of the really cool weather I made! Runeteria is my home now, and where all of my future creations will live. Discord: [https://discord.gg/runeteria](https://discord.gg/runeteria) IP: play.runeteria.com (we're also the first server in the Hytale server list!) Thank you all for playing! Hope to see you all on Runeteria someday! <3
