I *believe* that I have a genuine deep seeded "love" for this game, and I've gone through the gauntlet of what it has to offer. I've participated in the content, did PVP had alts in villages, would run gambits and ambushes, but that takes a lot of time and dedication. You've gotta bot farm or spend HOURS to be relevant. This game is more than just curio farming. It's an industrial-eco simulator. Anyone pretending otherwise, whilst botting those aspects, are retarded or fuckin wht's the word they use in politics - privileged bot users.
edit: submitted before my point... I'd rather just Pve with friends and I know a lot of people that feel the same way, so why not offer that option? Experimental servers is what the admins are trying, so lets try it!
Also alternative, for fun: What did you "make" for running the second server for the six months you alleged, and I'd offer that exact amount to run a PvE server for six months and I'd pay that shit myself just to experience it.
