Dear players,
As BB_Alex already wrote in the test server forum, no TSO2 or HTML5 client is planned. Nevertheless, we have the flash situation in mind and are working on different ways to tackle the problem of the Flash player, which will be eliminated by 2020 at the latest. One idea is a standalone client, similar to the one we are currently using. - We are NOT working on HTML 5 or TSO 2.0. - We are indeed working on a plan for a time when Flash is no longer supported by browsers.
We will not release any HTML5 version of TSO. What will work, however, if the browser doesn't want to run Flash anymore, is our downloadable client. The so-called "Slim Browser". It doesn't make a hole in the system because it can't be used for services other than our game. From that point on, I am sure that there will still be browsers that run Flash, in some kind of sandbox form.
But so far not even Adobe has published its final planning, the browsers (except for a few) have not discussed any changes in the handling of the plugins, Sandbox Flash will continue to exist and we have also noted solutions on our part. What nobody knows yet is if/how or at all Adobe provides Flash in code form, browser, usage release or usage "without support" (known e.g. from Windows XP) and so on. Currently, there are still many possibilities and open points, but that you are already worried about a possible end, is unfounded.
Should there ever be a change at any time, in any form whatsoever, we would inform you about it across all platforms. So far this is not even planned.
Regards,
