All of us who came in to help get the GMG back on its feet... did so at a time that was apparently too late. We were under the impression that if we got to work getting the faction active again, and proved that it was really active again, the hardship request would be accepted. It seems it was decided before the hardship request was even filed... so we were grossly misinformed as to the process. Would have been nice to know.
Anyways, is there any way the staff could be reasonable about this, and in some way streamline the process of applying for official status anew in our case? considering all the work that's gone into reviving this thing?
This is a game after all, and you have nothing to lose as a server by accommodating the playerbase...
