they are not transfering planet files, they are doing the wipe to RID.. I think things that were made with ILC... but they un-banned that, so I dunno.
This is all hearsay, albeit hearsay from trusted sources, The new plan for the server from what I have heard is bringing in a new more mature spin on the tentacle threat, as well as a change in setting, we are leaving the Frontier and moving to Core Space, a more advanced setting that is home to an [REDACTED], born out of necessity and forced to cooperate in order to survive.
So it's not a space anomaly anymore, it's the tentacle monster(s) depicted in the Ark? I'm really out of touch with what's going on, sorry.
Yes, but the Ark and Gates are not IC, so they are just some kind of mysterious life form at this moment. Still discussing how they spread, but the frontier is now surrounded by tentacles so people moved to a small outskirt state of Core Space with minimal contact with anything other than a council of racial leaders who teamed up to figure out how to get rid of Tentacruel.
