Background: The studio had no new announcement that weekend, but the Terra crisis still weighed on its community. The Night Watchman was a longtime member who stayed close to Iron Pigeons players; in the voice room were newcomers caught in the market downturn.
Today: The Night Watchman talked with them until dawn. Some wanted to sell what they held immediately; others simply wanted to know whether the game would stop. He let them finish describing their worries, then explained the studio arrangements he knew about. He also admitted he could not decide how anyone should handle their assets.
Impact and next steps: The conversation did not recover the newcomers’ losses, but it helped separate anxiety about prices from questions about the game’s future. The Night Watchman planned to pass recurring questions to the operations team and listen again in the next voice session. Each player still had to decide whether to stay.
