After shutting the Mayong (Lvl 51/50 AA starting toon) server down, they put up a new blue server...the final one of its time on live, Trakanon. Great server, great people - made tons of friends there - ground my way up with the horrible poison everything for big damage system. Flew through the shaman 1.0 epic solo, blew lot of cash getting alchemy skilled up.
Then bang, "RUMOURS" of the server being shut down emerged so that they could use it for a progression server instead. Well, that was it... before the titanic even hit the iceberg, people jumped ship in droves. We were down to about 100 players, and then comes the announcement - integration to Tunare server. I was seething. Not long after that I found P99, and vowed never to return to the dark servers of live.

TL;DR - sometimes rumours are enough to cause it to actually happen by proxy.
