Sad and tired

[Kaurhz]

A mmo having to do a server merge or shut down servers is a bad look for them. It would mean admitting the game is not what it once was. I've seen it happen with SWTOR when they had to merge and shut down servers.

I would think if this is still going on in 8.0 it's a sad thing SE are going to have to look into doing.

I mean it's a bad look, sure... But dead servers/DCs is an even worse look to honest with you, and it's far more detrimental to the game itself. Like people don't need the developers to indirectly self-admit to the game no longer retaining or having the same popularity it once did, they already know this.
