A formal protest against the destruction of shard historical monuments.
Each shard of the gem of immortality has its own unique history. Players, guilds, and towns come and go. Some last long enough to make an impact - to have a monument erected in their honor. These monuments are a part of each shard's distinct history. The players might move on, the towns fade away - but history is history.
These should NOT be removed. Ever.
If one is later found to be blocking house placement - move the monument. If the town or the player that the monument honors is long gone, then so be it. That town was there long enough to become a significant part of its community's history, and tearing down its memorial just because they are gone now is like kicking over a grave stone. Some members of the community who where there when that history was made are still here.
A long standing memorial was recently removed on Siege Perilous. I have not confirmed this, but I have heard this is being done on other shards as well. Is there so little space that these must be destroyed to make room for Sosaria's teeming masses and throngs of player towns?
I appreciate all the hard work that our Dev team does, and I love this world I have called home for many years. However, I am respectfully lodging a formal protest. Please restore our Barter Town monument! (Fix the tree, though, please.)

Never be afraid to challenge the status quo
I agree tho, in principle, history is history and should be left alone
On LS a guard tower was removed so someone could place a castle. A WHOLE GUARD TOWER!!!!
I don't know who else noticed but surely did when it happened years ago.
There really should be a serious protocol for removal of objects. The only things I don't worry about are the little piles of stew everywhere and things that were once in a house, and now block house placement. Those they can clearly tell should have poofed.
Please make the Grizzled Mare a 5 slot mount, it's incredibly rare and deserves it. Some of us have been waiting a long time for this simple addition.
