I'm a little surprised they decided to cancel it entirely after last week's update where it seemed like they were still exploring the idea, but given the overwhelmingly negative feedback, I can't say I'm all that shocked. And it's good they're still including the ten days' membership for new and returning players.
I think the most important thing is how he said that Reignited overshadowed all of the 2027 content updates, which is definitely true. Basically saw nobody talking about any of that (including here), it was just concerns over what Reignited was going to do to the existing playerbase. Hopefully now we can start looking forward to the new stuff. Don't fuck up the agility rework!
