[2019] Any info/rumors/uodates on pc exp servers?

Optimistic Outlook: With the game being in "1.0" (whether or not you agree with that decision is not the point), it's possible that the majority of the playerbase is playing on community or stable servers anyway. Most people know that EXP servers are going to lead to a wipe, so why build or invest time on them?

Seeing the continually dwindling numbers of players on EXP servers, The Devs, BI, or whoever, opted to move those resources over to Stable/Xbox serves where 99% of the players are anyway. Additionally, while infrequent, maybe updates and such are at a point of stability internally where The Devs feel confident enough to release them on the Stable Branch first, without the traditional buffer of EXP.

Pessimistic Outlook: The EXP servers are gone following a complete reallocation of resources, as BI moves to slowly strip assets away from the DayZ project, starting with things like EXP servers, and likely, a number of Stable servers, as the overall playerbase cannot justify the resources and costs, and will soon be running on a skeleton crew of minimal servers and development staff.

Most Likely Outlook: They are down, pending an update, and will be back soon. Might also be a fire or something, maybe a hardware issue. I don't know. It's probably fine.
