mmorpgs don't require you to progress by having an active community. and again, this is something that you people seem to be overlooking, no one is saying they want an empty or dead server, we're saying if something does occur with a merge, it shouldn't be all in one, there has to be stability and some choice. I don't understand what seems to be lost in translation. or you guys actively decide to overlook details to continue talking about it.
We can only give an opinion on whether we want some type of merge or not, and give pros and cons, but in no way should we pretend to know more about and how to run a game developing/publishing company than people that run it.
