I think there has been a lot of misunderstanding concerning us.
For example our PvP: It was not our goal to have that much of it. It was not our goal to have fair fights.
Why should we care about the fun of those who we know were metagaming us and attacking us 10 on 1 if they would have the chance?
We had a lot of good RP with mostly independent players, but unfortunately not with many other factions.
For most of us this RP was a complete new experience, we never had done something like that before. It was fun but i am sure we did a lot of things "wrong". It is not like we do not take advice but if it is hidden in insults and trolls or if it contains to completely forget about the own RP idea it is a bit hard to follow.
We did a lot of thinking about our own zoners RP and had some funny ideas like the planned "crusade" of us. I would have loved to see that. I am sure it would have been something new and funny to more than just ORI players.
But all that doesn't matter much now. I think many people are happy that we leave and maybe they can enjoy their own superior RP now without getting disturbed by some new players with big ships who dare not to bow down to the greatness of the older players.
Some of us will stay, so don't be too relieved yet.
I hope other new and smaller factions are not discouraged by our disband. Just look at it as an example of what you should try to avoid.
It was a lot of laughing and meeting interesting people the last few weeks and even if the end feels wrong somehow i do not regret any time spent here.
