The
Wrath of Heroes Website offers a "heartbroken farewell," as Mythic Entertainment announces this microtransaction-driven free-to-play MOBA based on Warhammer Online is shutting down in one month on March 29th after nearly
a year of beta testing (thanks
Massively). They offer
a FAQ with details on what happens to previous purchases, how the shutdown will be handled, and the probably obvious
answer to the question of why this his happening: "Unfortunately, the project could not meet its financial goals to be sustained."
The announcement also offers thoughts from producer James Casey on the game's closure, expressing pride in what they created, and promising the chance to check out some new elements of the game before it goes away: "I hope that those who have played it at any time in the past will stick through to the end, enjoy the special pricing so you can try out everything before it goes, and try out a few of the special things that were still in our pipeline."
