Not sure what the fate of Horizons will be, but I do want to say the game had a nice selection of races and classes, and some of the best fantasy music I've ever experienced.
Ok here is my question. I beta tested this game and when it went gold, I left for another beta. (yes I beta jump only rarely staying with one after it goes gold) After a number of months I kept hearing that Horizons was going under/bankrupt/closing/closed. Was there a period that it closed down? Was there an issue that would cause that to circulate?
Thanks

HZ the game was never shut down, much to the dismay of a few. The servers were merged to consolidate the existing population and save on costs, though. The game was purchased by Tulga, who also brought over most of the original AE team. Development of the game continues, with pretty consistent improvements to client performance and game content, as well as an increasing number of subscriptions.

yeah I recently tried Horizons and I must say the the music was super.. too bad the rest of the game sucked. Well the crafting was cool too.
