    To be expected as Shoei is not in other regions and quite complex as a space. Probably takes some maintaining. Sonys not going to keep paying out for spaces that make little money. But no updates mean no replacements either.

    Just adds more fuel to fire to Home's end.

    peakvox events will end. (peakvox built them in as time events before the no more update deadline)

    Shoei will be gone. (peakvox was the developer, maintained and executed under SCEJ)

    Asia's last event going on.

    Everything is pointing for a March end at least for Japan/Asia. Server might continue to run, but probably no more events.

    Yeah, next week update for Peakvox will be the final bundle at Peakvox Monster for White Day. After that, that's it.

    I'm really sad Shoei will be gone, but now I'm hoping if the final choice vote will be all winners vs. all loser picks. Does anyone know if the SF4 items will have their reduction price?

      That image just screams lost potential. What a waste for everyone--users and space designers.

        Sureley it would have been better for sony to load that space onto the eu/na servers &. Can they not convert jp accounts to na/eu?

          They would have to pay the actors, so it would have cost more.

            Would the Shoei buyable items be obtainable after closing?

            Could re release Shoei in other regions but put tickets in for microtransactions and make money that way. But they would have to be sure it would make money. Peakvox will be ok as it's in other regions and had microtransactions. Next to go could be monster fishing by gaw as as soon as you have caught what you can the money will slow if it cant update

            Peakvox Labs, Monster, and Ninja have been collecting money many times by fans from Japan and other regions. I doubt Peakvox will close its doors any time soon. Monster seems like a possible update for NA and EU Home, but alas it has been reported they're not doing that.

            Please remember to pick up your final Shoei Statues at Shoei Kingdom this month, and also head to Peakvox Monster and use 10,000 points to get the final March holiday bundle - you will get 2 rewards.

            I checked the voting polls at Shoei via Wiki Japan Home and I noticed that there's one quiz left to make it even with the 10 choice votes. With the curtain almost drawn to a close, I could surmise that the quiz prize would include not only the choice rewards that had won, but the quiz rewards that everyone had missed out before. Or, a possibility that the loser picks will be added in as well. Or, it could be another entirely different quiz reward. :p

            Whatever the case, I do hope it's the "winner take all" option, so then the masses would finally got a chance at winning the winning items they lucked out on.

              Red Jerseys have won today, so be sure to grab them. Congrats to those that picked it. ^^

              Final choice vote today, but not the "winner take all" vote (thanks Sony Japan, for pissing more people off for not letting them get another shot at the recent winners). This time you'll be voting for two emotional hats - red or blue. Good luck on your final vote. I doubt another quiz will be coming after this one, since this vote will be over on the 19th.

              There's also another Ash Tree reward available. It's another LMO, and it's a flower garden type. Just complete garden quests and their rewards from Garden Quests 36, 37, 42, 44, 59 & 60, then go talk to the tree.

              Thanks to Recca and everyone else for the info. and input along the way on the votes in Shoei. It really stinks to have all of this just go away, but I guess there's nothing we can do about it now. It was fun while it lasted.

              Those hats are just… godawful hideous for a Shouei final reward. Just an embarrassment. May not even vote… I might win!

              Shoei was fun, but the devs didn't really had too much faith into the space as much as extending it into the far off island they resurrected after the actors finale. Then, they dropped everything like a rock and changed their vote system into this one shot deal for their pathetic vote event, and it angered a lot of people. Just what most people did was stand at the entrance and earn yellow points, and no one played the tag game at all. It was a huge letdown.

              I'm just glad to see it die. Waste of time & money spent from the devs. Might as well buy some Shoei memorabilia items before it does close down and if they decide to terminate the sale items.

                Recca, these hats are a strange reward for the final vote, could any significance be attached to the choice. Has anyone mentioned what these Emotes are actually for (what are they meant to represent?) and what exactly is the gold logo on the front of each hat supposed to be? The gold symbols look to be different.

                Just in case anyone's wondering, the "Red" choice is the first one listed on the actual voting ballot.

                Also, for people missing the last bunch of rewards from the Cops and Robbers game, would anyone be up for doing a final reward run before Shouei shuts down for good? We need 6 people playing for the game to activate.

                  The hats are emoticon LMOs (like the Spunland Crown) and the gold symbol is the icon of Shoei Kingdom. And yes, I'm up for tag! I'm still missing the Ayame picture and Salt the white cat in tag. I did actually mention this to Baron and a few other people about it, and they agree. I don't care how long I have to wait for another game chance. I still need those two that are left.

                  Also, thank you for stating what color is first in the ballot choice. I haven't seen the ballot box yet to choose myself. Though, I'm gonna go for red, since it was the better choice from the red vs. blue inner tube LMOs.

                    I'm up for Shoei tag too! but unfortunately I'm tied up this weekend. But if Baron can join in, it's my hope we can conscript some helpful door bystanders into helping us?

                    Have to apologize, I've been rather busy trying to sort out a brokerage fees mess with UPS when the shipper had *promised* not to send my parcel using UPS shipment.... Brokerage fees end up 50% of the declared value of the shipment and the recipient pays, so it's not something I can delay until the parcel ends up on my receiver's doorstep. :depressed:
