The members stated they felt they wanted more loot out of our arrangement with Nihilum. Personally I thought we were getting a lot and should be happy, but I did what members wanted and tried to work for more. Ultimately, that nothing to do with anything. Our numbers dwindled, not because people left, but because the majority of our newer players stopped logging in because EXP was nerfed, and typical Red99 burnout. Coupled with the fact that the wave of new players stopped [the initial RD wave which was brought by the shutting down of EQMac], it wasn't feasible to build towards the numbers needed for Velious. I'm more than confident RD could have continued on and sniped mobs on sim repops and the like, but the goal for the guild was to kill things in Velious, not snipe a couple of 32k hp mobs.

[also like 8 people losing their accounts due to Sektor didn't help]
