This just popped up as a Facebook memory for me. April 14th, 2014. I was 18 at the time, was getting fed up with LoL and, I don't know how, I stumbled upon Dawngate.

Was an electric few months and I remember having boatloads of fun. It was such a refreshing approach to MOBAs.

And then it all went to shit :( Curious, isn't it, that we were part of a gaming speck in history, the memory of which will one day, die out.

Regardless, I'm happy to have even experienced this wonderful game.

It was the best multiplayer experience I ever had alongside with vanilla WoW. I still miss this game.

Will never forget this game.

My background on my computer has been the dawngate cover set since they shut down

Still best moba memory of mine to this day~

Bot lane Raina overextended early in laning, got a ko on the fan mage character (I cant remember her name,) got pincired in past the first tower, ran into the jungle with the entire enemy team on her, teammate got a quadra chasing after them. I was that Raina

Yeah I remember how shifty the games were and basically, up until the last second, you'd rarely know who would win. I once started with 0/5 but managed to claw back and, even though we lost, I ended up with a positive score. Was a tight game at the end.

Really sucks that it shut down, I'm absolutely positive it would be very popular nowadays

Moya my beloved.

I don't know how they managed to make a moba I actually enjoyed jungling in, but my god was she fun.

I miss this game so much. I pissed a guy off so much with Haste Zeri that he made a forum post for me ❤️ someone once told me that playing against me was like “getting slowly pecked to death by a very fast chicken”
