Can't say that it's a surprise. Over the month of February, they:

1) Didn't bother with a new event dungeon one week
2) Left the servers down once for about 16 hours after they normally bring them up after maintenance
3) Completely forgot to post notices for the new week's events once

Those are not the actions of a company planning on leaving the game up much longer.

I just hope that they add the newer generals to the other summons besides platinum so that I can use my accumulated tickets and have a chance at them. The tickets I've got on hand right now include 355 silver, 510 gold, 43 platinum, 96 soul, and 2 jade.
