Would you be upset if the game went offline?

[Morticous]

It'd be the death knell for this game. A year or two is a long time; People's interests would gravitate to other MMOs and it would give other game companies the opportunity to snag subscribers. After a year or two of being invested into another game, do you really think people would flock back in droves? It's corporate suicide.

Not to mention the fact that it will appear to the outside world, shareholders and investors that the company has given up on it's product. There are several layers to this. It's not as simple as "Take servers offline, fix stuff, come back with same population or more".

Lie - Kam is ready to flock back in 2 years, no questions asked. Why wouldn't you risk wasting more time two years from now on a game that has proven to be trash?

I for one will have moved on as well as most of the players of this game.
