What occurred with the revamped sandbox MMORPG Legends of Aria Classic?

A glance into the week’s events shows us exploring old records and enquiring about any significant occurrences. Specifically, we are revisiting the re-introduced Legends of Aria Classic, the original sandbox MMORPG which experienced, among other matters, being sold to a cryptocurrency firm and the launch of a cryptocurrency version that allegedly collapsed. Legends of Aria Classic made a comeback in May under the Citadel name with a promise of a considerable update in June. What’s the latest with this MMORPG?

There isn’t much to report. The game’s presence on Steam has faded out completely, which leads us to its Discord, revealing discussions about a play test client introduced in September and a few minor patch releases in September and October.

Apart from that, the last significant announcement made by the developer Citadel Studios was the previously mentioned overhaul. This has led the community to speculate on various platforms what exactly is going on with the game’s development. There have also been unverified claims by players that developers were dismissed for cheating in the game.

However, some recent discussions on Discord indicate that we should exercise patience because the proposed revamp might be taking more time than initially planned. With Steam users proclaiming the game’s demise and only two active players at the time of writing this piece, it becomes challenging to anticipate a positive outcome.
