    It was a site dedicated to Konami's RPGs, including Castlevania (well, they include it), with a focus on the fan community. You could do quests and win some prizes, submit fan art, banners, pics of your Konami game collection, etc.

    A novel idea, but I always kinda figured it wouldn't last.

    It's sad it's closing too. i just hope they hold up to their promise to restock the store so we can spend our remaining points.

    ....but Phantasy Star 4 isn't a Konami game, so why do you care?
    RIP Kamino. 1984-2010. Yes, yes I do like nes...

    <+skaar> Maybe you should ask yourself "What is it about me that makes men not want to let me penetrate them?"

    Anyone here who was a member know if anything happened at the end, like a store restock for all the stars they were throwing at us? (Ended up being out when it closed at 4pm today)

    First off it wound up closing later than 4:00. I was on until about 5:15 and there was no restock. I checked it again around 6:00 and it was closed so unless something happened in that time it was a total waste of time to work for those stars because there was never anything to use them on. Basically all they did was announce the winners of the various contests that were still going on. I was very disappointed at Konami for this one because I wasted alot of time on there today and in the past week.

    Wow I'm glad I cashed out when I did. That place blew. Contests were lame, response time was a joke. I stuck around for the first couple months until they lost one of my prizes, I figured what was the point of wasting my time if I couldn't actually receive anything in the mail. Then myserteriously six months later the novel showed up. I went back to the site, read all the back announcements for 5 stars a pop and cashed in my stars to buy Tao's Adventure.

    Yea I joined when it first came out, then sorta totally forgot about it. I got the email last week about the closing, stating that they would restock. YEAH RIGHT! Because of that email, I wasted time reading all their back news announcements to collect points, and ended up with a few thousand. They never restocked the damn store, so I sat there with thousands of points and nothing to spend it on. Good job Konami!
