I know the answer to this post from HCS will probably be that the legacy is and will be supported. I've lived through the death of Sigmastorm 2 and saw what is happening to gothador and still born solarfleet. i do understand HCS is a business, and need to have revenue and income to stay in business.
Main issue though is not just support, rather better gaming experience. The latest updates which were improperly done without lot of testing, has done more to damage the long term viability of the game than if it wasn't done. (strictly my opinion though) I would really wish, the game could become somewhat opensourced. (any new code could be owned by hcs if licensing is strict)) any new features could be tested on dev before release, like it was supposedly done. haphazard update should be thing of the past. overall, legacy is dying a slow death in its current guise. not sure bandaid fixes will do much. I do hope that Hoof and the management can make a firm decision that is transparent to the royal playerbase, that makes sense to everyone involved.
