Here's a screenshot seconds before the closing of Virtue. Yes, it's nearly empty. We overloaded the servers and brought them crashing to their knees for the fourth of fifth time of the night just minutes before sunset, and I just barely made it back in before the world went dark.
I think that was the best statement we could have made yesterday evening. There was no grand protest at city hall, no get major dance party at pocket D, no true concentration of players in any one spot. There was just a server-crippling number of people logging in to find a personal place to make a final farewall.
I would have liked to finish that last incarnate trial, but we got our last ITF done earlier in the evening. And besides, what how many other MMOs do you figure had server-crashing overpopulation issues on they day they got shut down?
