To Raz,
I've been on FeralHeart for six years, and have seen the game through a lot of ups and downs. Not once have I posted on the forums to my knowledge, but this has drawn me out. Not only to support the staff team, but to also ask why this happened and what led to this decision.
I understand that you own the servers, and that at the end of the day, you pay for this game to exist. But if you have no interest in it, or its community, any longer, then why not try to find a way to hand it off to people who can and are willing to manage it? Perhaps I'm reading into things, but it seems to me like you simply don't want to deal with the FH community anymore. And I understand that, I really do. It can be tiring to deal with. But this is a terrible idea, and if you're really that tired of being in charge and letting the staff team do their jobs and help this community, then find a means of handing it off maturely and peacefully.
I honestly can't understand the logic behind this choice other than wanting to see people get angry and suffer. And that's no way to run a community, let alone live a life. But I hope you reconsider. For the staff team, and for the community as a whole.
