We have no intentions of merging Haven with Ra.
Boosts are managed by GMs. We could never arrange GMs for Haven because GameSamba had the exclusivity to do so. Also, their powers were limited because there were almost no tools to control what they did exactly in the game. Now that is changing and we have a set of tools to review their activity. Next week we will start with a process of hiring, for both Haven and Ra. So yes, boosts will continue to happen.
As I said some days ago, Events will be one of the main items in the next roadmap. They will be varied and the GMs will have the ability to activate them whenever felt necessary. And yes, system managed events. Not a strong-willed helper wanting to manage everything only by teleporting and chatting.
It wasn't GS pressure, but Community pressure by the obvious turnout of people commercing in saves through realm and general chat. When a decent amount of GMs is around, surely we could consider removing it and forcing commerce inside the realm. But that is to be discussed.
Of course. Gameplay should not be interrupted by GMs (we can leave that only for the developers to do from time to time
)

So, this is only some words to avoid misunderstandings. I prefer to speak with actions. I'll continue preparing all that is needed for next announcements.
