Yeah maybe, but I think you were more qualified and tried twice and gave up both times fairly fast.

He also had success, and if you don't think the exp thing fucked RD you're just being contrary. HB might have thrown some failed hail mary's at the end, but people put too much blame on those decisions. RD was already circling the drain at that point.

Efforts to increase population are required to build competition. Fucking with the raid scene does nothing to increase population. You have to walk before you can run. What this server needs is a landing net for new players. Nihilum doesn't put much effort into that scene, we've never had to. The opportunity is there, RD took advantage and even Hokuten is a little bit.

There are only 2 reasonable scenarios where this server has 2 competitive guilds: organically grown utilizing an increase in players starting here, or Nihilum cracking in half.
