Overview
- Tianya reopened on www.tianya.net on June 1 with a limited view of selected "essence" posts and heavy first-day traffic that caused login slowdowns.
- The team says a stepwise data migration is under way but final approvals are still pending and the platform aims to restore interactive features progressively through June.
- A legally binding arbitration ruling from the Hainan International Arbitration Institute with China Telecom is being cited as the key legal basis allowing historical data to be moved.
- Two trustee operators, Chengdu Tianyake and Tianya Haodongxi (Hainan), are hosting the service on tianya.net while Tianya Community Co. retains core asset ownership and the original tianya.cn domain remains unavailable.
- A limited fundraise of 9,999 paid "founder" memberships at ¥1,999 each and a tied digital badge on Ant Chain have raised recovery funds and shown strong nostalgic demand, though long-term user retention and full commercial viability remain open questions.
