[WTF-imdoinyamom]

As you all know there are some rumours are going around about the closing of AL.

A friend of mine gave me this info 2 minutes ago ;

As I noted in the producer letter, Archlord was a grand experiment and it had some very hardcore followers. It has a strong IP, a great community, and what I think is some outstanding three-way action in that space. But the studio is moving into new spaces and we had to make the hard call to close archlord this year..

Don't know if this is correct info, because I'm not quite able to find the specific thread on the mmorpg.com site here's the pic

 Spoiler

Just thought you guys should know

Ya but if you search just the first phrase, it apparently also applies to Warhammer which is not a webzen game...so I think the validity of this statement requires a bit more than a notice from MMORPG.com

If you followed the link on the screenshot you could have read the message :P

Anyway, not to bring your hopes up/down, but you know how Webzen operates. SUN didn't get much warning either.

James Casey: It boils down to us having to make a hard decision about the project in light of our changing direction as a studio. Over the last year as we've had a chance to expand and experiment with Wrath of Heroes, we began a pivot to mobile as a studio. With this shift we looked at our resources, our plans, and our projects to achieve our transitions. As a result, we had to make the decision to retire Wrath of Heroes as a project while in Open Beta rather than push it forward. As I noted in the producer letter, Wrath of Heroes was a grand experiment and it had some very hardcore followers. It has a strong IP, a great community, and what I think is some outstanding three-way action in that space.
