From what can be gleaned from the announcement, it seems that GRAVITY voluntarily ended their contract with Asiasoft and has chosen another publisher to take over hosting of thRO. As the announcement says that the new publisher will send out information once thRO relaunches, Thailand players will have to wait and see what will become of their data.
