This thread is one I find amusing. I'd give a number of reasons why, but it would take me a while and I have to go out... But seriously, this is priceless.
if you have nothing to contribute with, why post? it aint flood...
back on track i think it would be a good idea to move battles to a less complex system, if everybody could agree. It might be "less rp" (or really, thats up to all us players to decide) and provide less of a spectacle for onlookers and people passing by, but so be it.
Those server crashes are totally disruptive to fleet combat, and on a side note the excessive swarms of npc patrols in Leeds (mollys, gaians, baf, exiles, bpa, grn and more) are annoying at times too, for both sides.
