I'm tempted to buy it. I'll definitely buy the forums if that's an option.

From what you're saying, it sounds like the game will die around May 9th. At least we have a more accurate doomsday date.

I appreciate Lopdo taking the time to reply to my PM. I messaged him yesterday about the pricing plan and included the link. He noted several categories where it does not fit into anything under the $500 a month plan. Unfortunately it is not feasible to keep it going at $6,000 a year.
In Vortex Wars: 50% of the game is luck. 50% is skill. The other 50% is math.

Sad news, its like hearing someone close to you is dying.

Nothing at all we can do to keep it alive?

You can offer to pay the $500 a month fee to keep the game going :)

Sure my Mrs would be happy with that! I'd happily chip in though.

Hi,

VortexWars will not be shut down on May 9th! Lopdo has transferred the game to me, and I will keep it up and running. I have also started work on the HTML5
client. However, Lopdo will manage the forum and website for now. After talking with the new owners of Player.io (the backend service used in VW), the
monthly cost will be manageable. Everything should continue working as normal. Thank you for your support, beaver

I read through the recent topics in the wrong order. Really scared me there.
I honestly don't remember why I decided to type everything in blue.
