As a player who spent a good deal of her time in Gaudiguch, and alted somewhat in Hallifax, this is an uncalled for change.
Particularly obnoxious is the loss of non personal, non credit investment that undoubtedly went in to each of the year-old organizations.
Regrettably, it has been shown time and again how hard it is to get the administration to change their minds on topics like this.
I am personally disappointed that we seem to have spent so much time trying to destroy anything combat-useful in the new orgs.
Lethargy on the part of players was a factor, certainly, but I cannot but help feel that such persons are not truly at fault.
Feather-light administrative intervention is certainly somewhat to blame. There was a nasty habit of leaving OOC wounds to fester.
Other factors certainly include the disadvantages faced by poor plane design, and the absence of bards and monks hindering org defense.
On the other hand, the player base has felt streched particularly thin. The new orgs, in particular, often simply lack enough warm bodies.
Lamentably, some elements of the playerbase saw far too easy a target in hitting the new orgs, making their attempts to grow ever harder.
Sadly, I can't help but feel that this outcome was inevitable. Its just a shame it had to fall in so heavy-handed a fashion.

It will be all right.

Only if they are Hallifaxians or Gaudiguchians. Outside investors are not included.
Any Hallis want to buy a Halli shop?QUOTE
It confuses me that people have responded to this in any other way than "Ah, had me going for a second before I spotted the date."
People sounds almost serious o.0

The mods were deleting and editing postings mentioning this as an April's Fool's joke so they could "have more fun"
(And these two could disappear as well).

I started to drool at the idea of a credit refund.... that level 4 crit rune would have been mine...
What if another person with a huge credit refund was going for it, too?
