On special holidays where you spend a significant amount of time with family or loved one (Christmas Thanksgiving Mothers/Fathers Day etc), WG should just turn off the servers. It would make people spend more time with the people they love instead of playing a game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also, as a not-Christian I would be pretty pissed if the servers shut down for Christian holidays when I have free time and no commitments. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
