Another bad news about Horizons

After the filing of Chapter 11 David Bowman (Artifact Entartainment CEO) yesterday posted this:
****
Due to the low concentrations of players per shard, we have been considering consolidating players to a fewer number of shards for some time now. With the recent Chapter 11 filing, it might become necessary to implement this sooner rather than later. No date has yet been set for this, but with the benefits to the game and the changes to the company it seems both likely and imminent. If this occurs, we will be creating two new shards; one for role-playing characters, and the other for non-role-playing characters.

Actually I consider this good news not bad. I've said for a long time they needed to migrate people and shit down about half of their servers. The ONLY problem with this and prolly the only reason they havn't done it sooner is because of the way they do their housing. Someone who owns a plot on their server might not be able to get the same plot on the server they move to cause someone else might own it. So they'll need to come up with a way to fairly handle the plot situation but other than that I think it's a VERY good decision, less servers means more community per server.

I can play only in EU shards and here the servers population is not so bad. Yes merging servers can contribute to increase the community, but they are merging 8 servers into only 2 shards, i don't know the US shards but i don't think the population is too mutch low!!
It seems only the last move to keep the game alive...
The wife of a friend of mine is still playing. She has to log in his character to make the armor she needs because no one else is on the server that can do it. And we're not talking about ultra-high levels of armor.
They need the consolidation and Bowman should've pushed this through months ago.
