"The future" is a long time, isn't it? Nobody said it would be anytime soon.

Making sure they have an accurate timeline down for content we are already past has exactly ZERO to do with coding. They know they are, at some point, going to launch another server. And I know it and so do you.

They just have very good reasons not to say that they will, or when, because it's probably not something they are even close to considering yet, and saying so could affect the health of this server. There is absolutely nothing to be gained by them to announce such a thing right now. We don't even have velious yet.

The feature allowing them to turn things on and off easily has everything to do with good coding practice. And no-one knows anything of the sort. If Sirken says there is zero chance (at this point), I'm going to take his word over yours or mine or any other forumquester. Another server doubles their CSR load - something Sirken has said is intimidating enough not to consider.

But meh, my real question was was this all hypothetical, and I guess that's been answered, so carry on!

"In the event we open another server from the beginning, it behooves us to create on/off switches for those times."

If it was about "good coding practice" he would have said that. The "times" he was talking about have already passed on this timeline. They are completing the code because they know they are going to need it in the future.

Obviously none of us know anything. It would be silly to think that we are getting a new blue server anytime soon. Velious is still, probably, a ways off. Yeah people are predicting this winter, but they were doing that last year, too. But it's also naive as shit to think that there will NEVER be one. They've said multiple times that it's always been a consideration. It just isn't right now. No sane person would go to all of this trouble, to this degree of detail, and never do it again on a proper timeline. I say, again, "classic" here wasn't remotely classic. But it will be when they get it all done.
