In what could be the most telling sign of just how many players have completely abandoned SWG, there is a plan to remove any player structure attached to an inactive account. The effects of this will be nothing short of a legendary cluster(NO), and I can only imagine Yakety Sax playing as the game finally burns to the ground. Check this out from the Move It or Lose It FAQ:

How will house pack-up affect the citizenship of Player Cities?

Cities will lose registered / declared citizens. As this happens, mayors will have to rock the vote and bring in new citizens.

Bring in new citizens. LOL. As soon as people start seeing how small cities with no players become, they will be prompted to bail on the game. And as soon as the SWG team sees how empty the servers actually appear, there will be server merges forthcoming, probably before the end of the year.

The best part of this impending train wreck of hilarity is that it's being left up to the players to flag structures for burning down. And, like everything else regarding SWG, there will be completely useless rewards attached to it. I'm glad that I will get a painting I can sell for 100 million useless credits on Starsider, because nothing ever decays. Ever. Hence the whole "Help burn down your friend's house" campaign.
