Aside from all the island closing discussion which I don't feel like getting into, I don't think my interest in BM would survive a merge. I've grown quite attached to the way BM works with it's mystery code, laid back pacing and lay-out brought to us straight from medieval times, not to mention the niche community.
I don't at all mind slow code changes and think it's pretty amazing that the code is still being developed and the game is still changing, and as a matter of fact, I kind of like that it doesn't change too abruptly.
Even after all this time, there's plenty of people I still come across who bring something entirely different to the game I haven't seen in a decade of playing. This game doesn't run on code, it runs on people. (Not being depreciative of all the work our amazing coders have put into the game of course!
)
