This thread is rather important for everybody owning a game from us:

this is just a first statement, we will uptate you with more info as the situation develops.

Long story short, the game servers for all our games will stay online, no matter what happens to the company that made the games.

Of course this is no guarantee for everlasting availability, because the fate of the company that now pays for the servers is still to be decided, but that is another story and the next few weeks will show what can be done to ensure a long life for Aerena and Shadowrun.

I think one thing that you can take away from Primetide's post is that no matter what happens to us developers right now, one of our top priorities will still be to keep everything online and playable.

As you can imagine, there won't be any more updates for Aerena.
Yes, more Champs would be awesome and we really wanted to have all factions complete with 3 Champions, but unfortunately the financial success of Aerena or the lack of it also plays a role in the whole situation. If you read this, you will probably be one of the contributors, a person who helped to carry Aerena as far as we were able to develop it.
To all of you I'd like to send out my personal thanks, it was a wonderful journey and I hope everybody was able to enjoy these special Aerena moments, a close well earned victory over a higher ranked player, a match where you got your ♥♥♥ whipped but also learned so much at the same time or this very special moment, when you thought a plan comes together and your opponents' plan turns out to perfectly counter your strategy in only one turn.

For the future of this game, a game that is so very dear to me, and even more its creators who might not be as visible here, I can only tell you what I have been trying to do:
If everything that happened doesn't affect what we have agreed upon with a promo partner, there will be a rather big push for Aerena user numbers within June. Aerena might also be part of another little bundle and after this I will have to evaluate what else can be done to enable a healhy player base.

Right now I can only once more point out the newly created Aerena Wedesday.
I hope this will become a frequent meeting point for Aerena players of all skill tiers.

If you have any questions about all this, please feel free to ask!

Once more I'd like to thank the awesome Aerena community and our forum moderators!
Without you guys the Masters Edition would never have happened!


On a personal note, I'd like to add that even though the communication here in the forums had been part of my job, it was always the best part of my day to read and write in these forums. If everything works out as I hope it will, I will be able to continue to speak for the game.

And by the way, the next Champion would have been a healer!
