Beta's shutdown was weird. At one point, stuff started crashing - including my client - when we were in RWZ, fighting against the Devouring Earth GMs. Unfortunately my demo of that got eaten by the client in the process. Pity, it felt truly epic.
I was sure the server was taken offline but decided to try logging back on anyhow. To my surprise, it worked - but now RWZ was almost empty. The Devouring Earth have vanished just as did most of the heroes who were fighting them. We started pulling together for one last team-up... and then the server went offline.
All in all it ended on a weirdly positive note.
