    Most surprising that it's due to bad actors internally rather than a lack of players.

    If the leak (or leaks) come forward and identify themselves to the Producers, then we will be able to have a conversation about reopening the game. Is it likely the player base will be damaged by this temporary shutdown regardless? Absolutely. Is there a chance we cannot recover from this even if we are able to reopen the game? Absolutely. So we really hope that the people responsible are ready to be honest with themselves about their part in this and ready to shoulder the weight of ruining something so important to so many people.

      Armageddon had previously changed to a seasonal release structure focused on smaller areas of the world. That was largely due to a reduced player base. So while that may not have been the major factor right now, a diminishing player base is probably in the mix.

      Other than that, RPIs seem inherently contentious. There's always lots of drama going around. Lots of intrigue and backstabbing which seems to mirror their own fictional worlds.
