The statement also confirmed that those who have made purchases through Arc or the Epic Games Store will be refunded their full purchase amount. The Open Beta will remain open until servers shutdown, but the Zen Shop will be closing immediately. All items will still be purchasable but through the free in-game currency.
Magic Legends was released as a free-to-play RPG based on the Magic: The Gathering card system which provided spells for characters at random from a deck. The combat offered quick, fast-paced action with multiplayer, letting you build a deck of spells to use in battle. Recently the latest class to be added was the Pyromancer back in May, which featured the power to wield Red mana as a ranged caster.
