I'v noticed that the PvE server is feeling quite abandoned. I know that for a lot of users, my self included, are starting school again and that makes it difficult to find time to play. My point is why do this if only to check and see what the people think. It may not be the best time to start rev 12, but if the servers live on numbers a peak of 13 players is a good enough reason to restart for me.
In addition the abandon cities that people took the effort to make just seem to be a waste of space and resources. If there is a way to re-purpose these buildings, it would be fantastic. For example, a player is off line for 2 or 3 months and their house has been completed and all project closed. Wouldn't it be fair to take down their now waste of space and give the supplies to newer and more active players?
Just some thoughts I've had for a while.
