I believe on what Tenshi said here. Why shut down something that still pay's for the coffee at SOE?
Convert to World of Warcraft, repent later.

I'm sorely tempted to do exactly this. Not yet, obviously, as the game's still going, but if it ever does get shut down (or there's some other cataclysmic event like the forums being wiped), I'll be sure to capture as much as I can and put it somewhere.And I can guarantee it'd stay online for as long as I have a few pounds in my pocket and the Web still exists. I won't close it down like some people would when the interest runs out.

When have we had that since Watchowski's stepped out?

Hopefully.
I am craving news.... Who says no news is good news! BS!
Nah... Rarebit might be going but I'm sure you'll see someone else pop up... probably with a name like "Cheese Toast".
Or am I too used to the ressurected character syndrome that the story seems to persistantly return to?
Still waiting for the return of the real Morpheus...

What do you think this is? Milliways?
As for news: There really isn't any at the moment other than what we said yesterday. We'll let you know when there is.

Haha, hey, I am just following the email that he gave me from a long time ago...just following orders
You probably won't answer this, but did Rarebit's decision take you by surprise like it did us? Or did he tell you a while ago? Employment contracts and all that.
Rememberance Items ftw!
Me too...
@topic: Hope we get an offical statement about the future of the matrix sometime
