Just get the wipe and give accounce its safe to play and enjoy and people can flock in, another reason is probabloy WoW as many mention how great game it is, continue molding it as its live. Also i have question when NS4 is live that means NS3.5 goes offline, shouldnt that then mean probably most of those move to NS4 just my tough.
Arashi you got very negative tone, why would server be up and news accounce that new servers arrived, beta test end date etc. if they were planning to not continue doing stuff? You know even those who work for you free to give content and stuff can sometimes need a break, sure it can be told for others to make clear they are off duty for a while or leave for good. But still my main question is why would servers be up if there wasnt future plans? So your comments wont really add any pleasure to anyone do anything, increase try cheer.

And i have seen many good projects die for taking too much in one bite and by so update never came and in the end after people start to leave community decided to not even release latest version.
