LOL...that last killed me "some kind of warning or explaination should have been released"...welcome to AV. You will learn that there will never be an announcement to major things, and any announcement you get for the minor things, like patches and such, will only contain half of the truth. Just the way it is.

I would actually come back to DFO if they completely wiped the servers, merged them in a location where EU and US players were on equal footings for connections for the most part, and allowed for city building whereever players wanted, with player designed lay-outs. Those things wont ever happen, so probably wont be back.
