It wasnt because "they had no purpose," it was because they memorialized previous development members, who really didnt need a memorial on a server that is completely based off of another server.

Token shop was removed because it was completely holiday-focused. And people decided that development should be focusing on permanent content instead of making new events for every holiday.

East DW had nothing in it. Although, I would like to see "Deadwood" and "Snowtown" redeveloped sometime (and given their original GtA names).

The pirate ship shouldve stayed.

The bridge was replaced with the lift machine... no big deal. Actually I think there was an idea to add another one to ride up the cliffs to snowtown (because its kinda a ski lift), but that didnt happen.
