Oh, well, I'd hope you'd be aware of who abandoned this base.
Not my base buddy. Never owned it. Check the RP behind DSE|= involvement with it. And how do you know it is abandoned?
You're the person supplying the base, you've made a post that supplying the base is being abandoned. The owner of the base, presumably the LPI, haven't sent a message regarding it or anything else for that matter in eight months. I don't know what else you would expect to call that, but I'd certainly call it abandoned.
Bull****. Try handing back operational management to the LPI. Your inference that DSE|= abandoned Albany is trite. It does support my argument that a farting large proportion of the stable long-term players, who play a more passive game (trading, mining) over PvP are p***ed off and leaving. They are the ones who play the longer hours each month and shore up player numbers. These players more than likely own the vast majority of Barges because they spend the most time earning their hard-earned credits. and now I find they are penalised exponentially for being successful when fined.
I'm not saying you're entirely responsible for "abandoning" the base. I don't blame you for not wanting to supply a base that you get nothing out of doing so for. But don't act like the LPI haven't abandoned it.
