As a once-popular fairy-themed MMORPG, its sudden "disappearance" made old players feel regretful. This article will analyze the reasons for the suspension of "The Legend of Immortals" based on the hot topics and hot content on the Internet in the past 10 days, and compile relevant data and player feedback.

| old game memories | 8,500 | Zhihu, Bilibili |

2. Three core reasons for the suspension of "The Legend of Immortals"
1. Copyright expiration and change of operating rights
According to reports from players and industry media, the servers of "Legend of Immortals" were shut down due to the expiration of the contract between the developer and the domestic agent. The following is the record of relevant operating rights changes in the past five years:
| time | Operator | key events |
|---|---|---|
| 2018 | Company A | Version discontinued |
| 2020 | Company B | Server merge |
| 2023 | None | Completely stop taking |
2. Technology aging and compatibility issues
The game was developed based on the early Flash engine. With technology iterations and system upgrades (such as Win10/Win11), compatibility errors frequently occurred on the client. Top 3 issues reported by Tieba users:
| Question type | Proportion | Typical symptoms |
|---|---|---|
| crash | 47% | Exit with black screen after startup |
| Caton | 32% | Frame rate drops sharply in battle scenes |
| Unable to update | 21% | Patch download failed |
3. User churn and economic model imbalance
According to third-party monitoring data, there were less than a thousand monthly active users in the first half of the year, and ARPU (single user revenue) dropped to 3.6 yuan, which is far lower than the operation and maintenance cost.
3. Players’ collective memories and alternatives
In the #神仙传Memories# topic initiated on Weibo, frequently appearing classic elements include:"Tribulation System","Cultivation of Fairy Pets"and"Gang War". The more similar alternative games currently on the market are as follows:
| Game name | Similarities | platform |
|---|---|---|
| The Origin of Jian Wang 3 | Qinggong system/sect settings | PC |
| Fantasy New Zhuxian | Cultivation theme/turn-based | mobile games |
4. Industry Observation: The Survival Dilemma of Classic PC Games
Data shows that in 2023, 7 client games that have been in operation for more than 10 years have ceased service. The main reasons are concentrated on:Technology is backward (58%),Team disbandment (25%)andIP value depletion (17%). Some manufacturers choose to port old games to mobile game platforms, but the success rate is less than 30%.
Conclusion:The suspension of "The Legend of Immortals" is not only inevitable for technological iteration, but also reflects the transformation dilemma of traditional PC games in the mobile era. Its unique Xianxia worldview and social gameplay are still irreplaceable memories in the hearts of players. Perhaps in the future, this "legend of cultivating immortals" can be reproduced through IP restart or nostalgic server format.
