People asked me privately in the past about this matter so I might as well share with you all. Let's *assume* that we decided to chop out 1 castle, these are the complications that follow with the process:
-which castle to chop out?
-what to do with the guild that is losing the castle? what about eco in the castle?
-what if people use this as an additional new method to do "eco reset" bypassing the 1 year protection of the castle rotation rule?
-who has the authority/right to claim that a certain castle should be dropped?
Some of the questions may not be relevant now in today's circumstances since none of the castles have any sky high eco point, but best to make a general case for the future in case if we need to do it again for whatever the reason.
Many things to consider, if we're doing this at all, *which* for now as of time of posting, the GMs have no intention or discussions about closing down a castle (no guarantee about the future if we'll change our standpoint).
