What if we had planets/server merge?

For what it’s worth, I can name at least 10 individuals that played virtually every day who quit as a 100% direct result of those posts. Rumor went around that the servers were being shut down, that it was all over. That was supposed to have happened already…

That can’t be put on Phil. He was perfectly clear in his statement:

Just to be clear, because I don’t want to panic people, if there was no alternative but to stop funding the servers at a loss and they would be shut down, we would absolutely give notice on that. And ideally try to find a way that something could be saved for the players.

The reason I’m jumping in now isn’t because anything is necessarily imminent, but just because folks were raising the question (fairly) of whether SE could/should/would do anything, and it’s in that spirit that I’m adding to the dialogue.

The real issue in my eyes were:

• Players like me who have a tendency to over-react and be doom-sayers
• James who prefered being silent over managing his community when it was worried

And yeah, I think the main issue comes from James, because if he wasn’t ghosting us, guys like me wouldn’t be ‘doom-saying’. I mean, I’d still be a buttface complaining about a lack of furniture items and roadmaps, but that’s another story.
