       I saw this while looking through my feeds.  I was so stunned at the timing of this that I just HAD to post it.  So I guess all the worry over the server consolidation is founded considering that they are putting this out in conjunction with a free 10 day trail to returning members as well as in game rewards for reactivating their account.  I guess the whole free trail thing never occurred to Mythic until they were in financial trouble and population trouble.  Perhaps this would have been a good promotion during Christmas?  At this point its more of a shot in the dark than a real promotional effort.  As this year there are probably going to be at least 5 MMORPGs coming online, either in the fourth quarter of 2009 or the first quarter of 2010.
