It could be that logically is the incorrect word. While it might make rational sense that the “old purge” will return, from a programmatic standpoint – thus evincing yet a third versional context of logic – the old purge is gone forever.
I have no inside information, and have only what I can deduce from experience and observation, as well as similar behaviors from other game developers of Funcom’s size and capabilities. This new purge was created to reduce a significant bottleneck in the game’s design. It was a “best case scenario” way of invoking a purge, rather than letting the random chaos of server events continue. I frame this in the scope of server play, server administration and server ownership: the old purge was not a suitable long-lasting solution.
