We should take a poll to see how many "active" members even care whether the story continues.
That's a little harsh I feel, considering the work that probably went into developing it, but I have to say that my investment in the story is quite minimal.
The consequences of said story certainly have a daily impact on my BT characters in the form of hard realities like the blight and the undead spawns, but the story was so obscure and hard to piece together that I can't really say that I'm invested enough in it to care. My characters know almost nothing of consequence, and I know only marginally more.
Perhaps those players who had the time and inclination to dig deep into the story and rumors that surrounded it might feel differently, but I suspect that such people are a relatively small minority of the player base.
