Main reason is to see the balance of things and the state of the economy. Whether it's 4 months, 8 months, or 12 months. I think a break from releasing new content is necessary and then poll the players on which next big project to release.
Main focus during this time would be community outreach an developing more content for future release and bug fixes along the way. Not to mention QOL updates.
Second focus would be holiday events for the year even if the events are copy pasta from past years the new holiday items shouldn't be copy pasta.
Then once the economy has settled and the players have been polled, and the dev team has gotten some good rest. Release the next bit of content the players voted on. 🎤
You can't change my mind that the dev team is doing amazing and deserves a break.
