Uncertainty surrounding server move date is hurting the community.

Imagine a town that is soon to be blasted off the face of the earth. All the residents will safely escape along with their belongings so they are staying for now. They don't know when the move will happen specifically but it could be any day now or months away. Nobody wants to invest the time and money in maintaining their homes, gardens, or jobs. Why would they? The entire community could be blasted off the face of the earth at any time. Nobody wants to build anything. What is built is not meant to be aesthetically beautiful because it wont last in any event. The towns people stand in a state of partially packed for the coming Apocalypse waiting. They long for the move to the new town to happen already so that they can start building roads, homes, and other things.

This server is that town. New players are unlikely to stay because by the time they get their feet on the ground it will be swept out from beneath them. Older players amass more resources but don't start new ambitious projects since those projects will likely never be completed.

What I'm asking for is for the admins to set a date for when the move will happen and stick to it if they can. I believe having a date will allow people to make real instead of speculative choices about how much they want to continue investing in the server.
