War of Legends was a massively multiplayer online strategy game set in "a world of ancient Chinese mythology"[1] and was published by Jagex on January 19, 2010.[2] It was the company's first full online strategy game,[3] the first game to be published by the company rather than produced by them,[4] the first game published by Jagex not to be written in Java,[5] and the company's first microtransaction game.[6] On January 29, 2015, Jagex announced that the game would be permanently closed effective immediately, following a security issue that took the game offline over a month earlier on December 22, 2014.[7]
