I like them trying to spin the story to support MT business models

The shutdown brings the whole microtransction model into question. If persistent games can disappear so abruptly, and for such an easily avoidable reason, then all of a sudden those fancy in-game items don't seem like such a solid investment. Now if you'll excuse me, I've got some hats to sell.

I was somewhat praying for it to be one of the bigger mmo's, Just think of the tears that would be shed if a wow sever with all hands is sunk.


or for that matter one of the whole, ah I cant remember what theyre called, all the realms that connect together on battlegrounds - cause ALL the realms dont share a BG. Theyre broken up.

Would be funny for the epic screams of rage had it been World of Tanks (while not a true persistant world MMO, the what 72k online world record thing...)

it would be funny. but I think an entire wow gattlegroup going down permanently would probably clean the gene pool a little with people committing suicide after their 10+ level 85 all raid geared/arena geared characters disappeared. you might say that not many people have that, but I personally know 6, and am really disappointed at knowing them.

Compared to the OP's story we should consider ourselves blessed; Tuxford isn't THAT bad.. yet.

At first I doubted this was even true because it's so unbelievable, now I'm thinking that there is more to this story than this. Sabotage? I mean... no backup? Unthinkable
