Just posting here as info WRT support or anything else. No mention of SWL/TSW, either willfully or accidentally forgotten.

In a press release, the firm said the restructuring will "guarantee Funcom’s focus on Dune: Awakening and Conan Exiles going forward. The company remains committed to supporting, expanding, and growing these games and their communities for years to come. Conan Exiles recently saw the release of an Enhanced edition, that Funcom will continue to expand upon."

Didn't even know they acquired and shuttered Metal Hellsinger devs.

At the very least, please keep Maintenance Mode going!

That's my hope, for both AO and TSW.

Like my favorite dungeon mission, the game is Dead In The Water.

I doubt anyone is actually dedicated to SWL/TSW.
Just some IT guy who checks if the server is still on.

At this point I hope the server they have this game running on is well hidden ahah .

Same, let it hide unassumingly in an extra line in a spreadsheet.
