Question in regards to Loyalty...

[Neoteny]

Sarah Edmontons was created by the Live Events Team, which was disbanded at the changeover from Monolith to SoE. Rarebit stated a few times that since he had no idea what they'd done (since none of them left notes) and since he had no idea what they'd planned, it was hard for him to find any direction for the character and abandoned it. Chadders was likely of the same sentiment.

As to Morpheus's assassination, I think it was a brilliant move which was cheapened somewhat by the lack of any closure to the case. Sure, the whole plot about pulses bringing up the General's sim was great, but it could've happened significantly sooner with a similar impact, and afterward there could have been some permanent closure. I would have been entirely against keeping Morpheus in the game, because his death caused such a massive and continuous controversy.

Well, that is, I feel that's how it would've worked best for the general audience. It created continuous, incredibly interesting potential and anticipation, as well as speculation, which was great for the roleplayers.
