I liked your spirit - you brought some new enthusiasm to a number of servers, and you legitimately seemed like you wanted to try and make it fun initially. You even recruited and brought in a number of new players, which ultimately helps the game. That's not really how it ended, though, and I think the game / playerbase is in a worse off position than it was before, with a number of players leaving because, just like for you, it really isn't fun for anyone. So - kudos to you for the self-reflection and apology - but I think the negative effects will be longer lasting.
To be fair, Tert. I don't think you can blame that entirely on me. Look at LaF numbers. They have dropped off significantly too. In fact, a lot of us from Resist and LaF just went to play a different game together.
I didn't cause LaF to quit. So why are they quitting? It might be due to Mercs 'you will never net again' actions. So while I'll take blame for running a few people off servers, you have to understand I was trying to do that almost like I was a terrorist. Hoping that things would get so bad that players like yourself would look at how we got here, and condemn the other side too... not just me.
That didn't happen. Nobody that was in the middle ever looked at the actions of Mercs can condemned them the way my actions were condemned. So I clearly made a miscalculation there. But nevertheless, I don't think it's fair to blame me entirely for the loss of players.
