Emi have said that a reset wouldnt occure and now this happens.
I have to correct you on this, because you keep mentioning this statement.
I have read the post that Sir Emi made long time ago where he stated that he WANTS this game to be persistent. In the same post he also stated that the game might have a reset (depending on the future evolvement of the game).
For obvious reasons he now thinks that this game needs a reset and I must say I can only agree with him.
