In truth, the only "trash talk" is the paranoia of nihilum members who think every change made to this server in an attempt to make it more appealing to new comers is a government conspiracy to disband their guild. News flash, if the server pop remains as is then more than half of your guild will never be getting vulak loots. There's barely the numbers to sustain a velious raiding guild as is right now, imagine in velious with pvp and with the high burnout from those who get geared and peace out since no new content is ever coming (kind of like Kunark with the newest MIA after his crown, hectorchrist). You think fern / bronkus / tehruoh / thrilla / Ajax etc are all going to keep logging on after they get their loot? No. You will need to replace them with new players. But if the box isn't healthy there won't be new players to replace them with. The worse part is that unlike Kunark where these players went into retirement, now they may very well just detag and kill you because why not? There's nothing new ever coming to the box.

Nihilum more than anyone should be on the side of changes that will help increase the pop of the box.
