I plan on pausing my characters in the next week or so. The glacier event is a major reason behind this. I don't think any malice was involved in the glacier position decisions, but the effect that it is having is certainly unpleasant for many, myself included. I understand why it is being done, as player density has been decreasing for a very long time.
I've had a lot of fun with BM over the years, and maybe I will again in the future.
