Im not sure if serious or not... At the start of Red99 a few Nihilum had the jump to 50 and quickly organized groups to start taking down dragons within the first month.. When the rest of the server (holocaust at the time) caught up in levels and began actually contesting everything they were doing. We (at the time) literally took everything and halted their progression to nothing... It wasn't until we decided to exploit the same way they were for weeks and Rogean logged in and banned the entire guild (including 10 or so people who weren't even on) that the server was then handed over to them... That was basically the pinnacle at changing Red99..
Now do I think Holocaust would have lasted near as long as Nihilum has? No way... That group of people simply didn't have the resilience to endure pve that long. But I do think it would have changed "just the beginning of the server" and not allowed for the early foothold that was established so early on...
Basically in a nutshell, Almost all integrity for the server was lost after that ban (and getting anyone to come back and play hardcore) there was next to zero chance... Everyone then feared Rogean would login (on a whim like when this went down) and just ban entire guilds (including people not even on) and the months of time wasted would be all for nothing.
Fastforward to now...
There is a solid dev working on nothing but pvp code that does listen to the community.
Sirken/Zade and crew are atleast reasonable and can be dealt with on a Leadership basis if approached maturely.
Starting fresh in hopes of not a "repeat" of the beginning of Red99 is something people are looking for..
It allows people to chose a side and start at the beginning without any advantages from outside guilds in hopes they can either A) do something different this time or B) play under a different name to fit in (aka your tomatoes and runlvlzeros.)
