I would feel bad for active players, 100%. It would be a huge and devastating change for those people. But are there that many? I don’t know, at least on PVE I am not sure.
The long-lasting clans on PVP that have held their location for years are really nothing more than serial refreshers with the odd few that play slightly more regularly. Officials often go through waxing and waning in population. A server can die out and the last serial refreshers log on once a week, monitoring, and might log on more frequently if they see an uptick in population.
I think what we’re really talking about here is intent. Did Funcom intend for people to play for years on a server? We could use deductive reasoning in saying yes, since there have been few full wipes in recent years. But did they intend for players to be on servers for years just to refresh it? I don’t think so, because that really isn’t playing.
