I believe the OP's thought to 'extend' the window time between Moria opening and what comes after to allow more time for players to
immerse into the game is a good idea but the point that this is a progression server can't be lost here. We are structured or paced if you
will, to follow the timeframe of the story, and it should be remembered that we always have the option to go at whatever pace we desire.
So this shouldnt be looked at as if we are racing against the clock. There will be a healthy server population no doubt, if its 4 months or
8 months it will still be all yours to manage how you go forth.
I dont see them changing it, and I wouldn't care if they did.
