After three and a half years, the time has finally come for us to stop maintaining War Metal: Tyrant. That may come as little surprise given our poor communication and slow update cycle over the past several months. I apologize for the long “limbo” period we’ve been in this year. At this point, however, we simply don’t have the resources to continue support. We’re aware that a small contingent of players is still actively and regularly playing, which is largely a testament to how awesome this community has been for fostering a fun environment and keeping people engaged even when the content updates became so infrequent. Because of this, we will keep our servers up for another year to allow players to continue enjoying WMT. We want to do one final update. Currently, we’re planning on: -A player-made set of cards, using community-designed stats and art from Tyrant Unleashed. -A new tournament featuring the Community Pack. -Two new Epic raids, one of which we’ll aim to make EXTREMELY difficult. -A handful of bug fixes. It really has been a lot of fun developing Tyrant with you guys. You are an awesome community. Feel free to ask any questions or make any requests for the upcoming update. EDIT: We are delaying the shut down until September 1st.

Could you add rotating events please (or at least the old cards the the event vault)? Also thanks for this game it’s been quite entertaining. I’ve played it a little more then I needed to

Tyrant is dead after 8/1/2015 :( “we will keep our servers up for another year to allow players to continue enjoying WMT.”

so I was right, Tyrant will be dead in 2015, on 1st August, exactly the same date as the People’s Liberation Army was created. As Nietzche once said: “Whenever democracy dies, communism is fostered from the ashes”

PLEASE make Orbo the Wrathful upgraded to like summons Orbo and some more HP and attack power before you ditch us paying players and screw us over even more PLEASE! not right that something that high cost is made obsolete when you do upgrade other cards such as Kapak

You do realise that your reputation follows you? You can move from project to project trying to recapture revenue, but people catch on eventually. TU is already flagging from what I hear. Seems an utterly bizarre business model to me. I am underwhelmed to say the least. And I am a customer who plays, spends, and supports other people to spend, so would imagine I am the kind of person you want to be loyal. Well loyalty breeds loyalty and I know where NOT to go in the future.

any possibiliity to transfer wbs into kreds again?

And I guess this ‘final update’ will happen somewhere around July next year? It’s impossible for me NOT to be sarcastic.

Thanks for the good times synapticon…the day Tyrant truly dies is gonna be a sad sad day :(

+1 to player pack. New raids could be fun Im sad to hear you want to wrap up WMT. Perhaps you would consider leaving the servers up as long as the revenue in is greater than the expenditures on the server.

plz just keep the servers dont ever remove them just keep the game open plz this is the best game i have ever played on PC plz keep it dont remove it in 1 year plz :’(

We’ve had a lot of fun. Unfortunately we simply can’t afford to support the game any more with the userbase it’s at. When the servers finally close it will have been out for almost four and a half years here, and five on Facebook. We’re extremely happy the players helped keep the game up as long as it has been.

But you do understand that YOU drove the userbase down?

Could you at least make a functioning offline version of the game, like, you know, 99% of every console game released in the history of mankind?

Will the facebook version be shut down, too?

well with this you might as well do something like… 1) Remove all features that players can spend real $ on so people who dont read the forums dont get sucked into this trap. 2) Make all cards (promos) purchasable with gold and totally ass fuk those who have paid and supported this game as long as they have. 3) Kiss your reputation goodbey.

Unfortunately an offline version is not going to be possible. It was not designed to ever be a console game.

Could someone host the servers for you?

Before you leave for good, as a last resort Along with the features you listed: Add: BG Effect Tournaments to the tournament rotationTrading card feature A 5 WB fee for cards that are not legendary and 50 WB for legendaries. Add event cards into vault rotation for players that do not already have them Add a permanent sale on WBs until the game’s end.
