I know Fugi that they will shut down AH2 eventually. Point is in order to help people that they cannot afford a new pc right now, keep AH2 as an alternative option in AH3 environment.
We have WWI arena, early and middle war, special events etc. How hard is it to add another one option in AH3 main card, an AH2 arena, like the one that is running right now?
That is all. This can help many people keep playing the game, give sometime until they shut off permanently in year or so.
That would be foolish on HTCs part. They are looking to breath new life into the game with all the new bells and whistles and hopefully bringing new players into the game. Leaving an outdated version available will turn some new players off if they stumble onto AH2 before AH3. Lost revenue.
Also there is the issue of splitting the already low numbers between to MA arenas. Again, not good for bringing new people.... numbers are too low to find a good gaming experience in either MA.
Sorry to say they will lose some people to the switch, but that is the price they are willing to pay to advance the game and their BUSINESS.
I believe that it will be shut down this week. It is time.
