Hope for what?
Fixing the realm? No matter how many bugs they fix, it won't bring people back, especially not pvp people. The only way to revive is to reward people who restart/join it with something they care about.
Deciding to give us a choice? Nope. I strongly believe they are keeping it on just so somebody can earn their paycheck by working on a dead realm.
Show that they care? They don't. If they did, they'd give us a goddam choice. Keep working on the realm for 10 years if you want, but let me get off it, let me move my characters or exchange them for max lvl/gear/gold/coins/points elsewhere. Unless you're looking for a way not to compensate us AT ALL, you might as well do it now.
Any info? Besides " we will continue working on it", they won't tell you anything, probably cause they either don't know yet, or they do, but you wouldn't like the answer.
I'm starting to think that they are waiting for 90% of people who played on it to disappear, so they can just wipe the realm without giving us anything.
