Reminds me when lords of ultima closed online they didnt give much notice on that and all in game currency had to be used up or lost...they have had years to sort this heck even zynga farmville i believe have adapted .....but all we get is they are not closing the game that may be true but no alternative answers have been given so all we can do is speculate from what we can find...cant tell me that hasnt hurt sales prob why we get so many gem sales now.... I have spent thousands on this game and would spend more if i knew it had a few more years self life ...but I do know if we get done over i will never spend a penny on one of their games again ..now that's only a small drop in a vast ocean but i wont be alone in that thinking
