According to a Sony executive no cease and desist (C&D) was ever issued. I therefore made contact with the server host of WR, but I was told that they could not release any information about a private server. With the influx of new players, and thus a substantial increase in donations, a new server was supposedly ‘bought.’ A high level staff official on the WR team, who spoke to me and wished to remain unnamed, said that this server was never bought. He explained that the project leaders knew that one ‘box’ would not be enough to handle the new load of players. He also added that Wiz and his team were looking to “take a break,” and “get away from the mountains of code” that needed to be fixed. Hence the team decided to take a break from the game, shutting it down completely and living easy for a good chunk of the summer off of the game’s donations.
