Hey!
Few days ago I wanted to dive in back to anno after 3 years or so into my old mammoth save only to find out the servers shut down and I have nothing left.
I then posted on the steam community(didn't know about the shutdown yet)and was told that if I buy the new 1404-History Edition, I can log in into my profile and play my old saves again.
Is this true?
External link →It is :)
Right... and why is that? Why am I forced to purchase the very same product twice?
No one is forcing you to buy anything. You can still play Anno 1404 in single-player, while the servers were turned of last month after being online for almost 12 years. The server shutdown is not related to the History Edition.
The History Edition makes a range of improvements on which we have worked for months, which you can find out more about here:
