Highguard will "permanently shut down" next week after "one final game update," dev confirms: "We have not been able to build a sustainable player base"

"Servers will remain online until March 12th"

They’ll release one more update (my guess is whatever release-ready content they’ve already got), then the servers will shut down next Thursday.

“We don’t need player counts to be super huge in order to be successful” is starting to ring hollow.

    From some interviews, it sounds like it was just an ambitious mess that didn’t have good testers. IIRC, they said something about everyone pitching 5 ideas every day, and added a couple each time. And it really shows, it is some kind of franken-monster that combines all kinds of ideas that make a patchwork of meh. And then the testers they had either all worked on the game, or were friends with those that did, and nobody wanted to be a downer so they always gave positive feedback.
