There looked no hope for its survival, then 2 weeks later Smedley changed his mind, even after posting a letter to the community after receiving tonnes of feedback to save it, to explain why it had to close.
Some games can not be saved though, but always worth a try for a while.
There is no definate plan for closure on this yet. and details are pending, so they could be testing the water - see how much of a reaction to the close it will get, if it is huge enough and more than they thought, they may change their mind. Say nothing as you think nothing will save it, then the game is dead for sure.
I'm going to do everything I can to try and save a game that has given me more than 8 years of entertainment and still had years and years of stuff I wanted to do.
