According to CTOnews.com news on December 23, Blizzard Chinese officials released a video this afternoon, saying that this is a message recorded by Nathan Lyons-Smith, the executive producer of Blizzard's hearthstone Legend, to players in the national server of Blizzard.

Nathan Lyons-Smith, executive producer of Blizzard's hearthstone Legend, said in the video, "I have been the executive producer of the hearthstone team since February this year. Before that, I was the production director and led the team development for three years. I am not only a developer, I am also an old player." Hearthstone has been my favorite game since it was launched in 2014. I've been playing games and taverns for thousands of hours, and as a player, I'm honored to be able to contribute to my favorite game. I'm a player myself, and I can imagine how you feel when you hear the news of suspension. Our team is always committed to providing a well-crafted game experience for players, and it is our supreme motivation to see that players love our content updates. But sadly, after stopping service in January, we may miss some of these scenes. Please stick to it, we are exploring the possibility of bringing the game to you again. I hope you like the March of the Lich King and the hero class death Knight. Before the suspension of service on January 24, all players who log in to the game can get ten packs of old expansion packs free of charge. Looking to the future, the company is also discussing with potential new issuers of national service. Thank you for your painstaking efforts and passion. I look forward to the day when we meet again in the hotel. "
