This community showed what is possible when we work together for a few days. What was accomplished was nothing short of incredible! Hopefully, what was learned will make it even better the next time. Unfortunately, some segments of the community with, shall we say less than constructive motivations, have succeeded in seeding distrust, anger, and sometimes outright hatred. The result is that the community has fractured to the point where it has become very hard to tell where to look for any official updates, and efforts at resurrecting the server do not appears as focused, or coordinated as they were in the days leading up to the test server going live. I don't think even NCSoft could have done a better job of dividing us!



This is so counterproductive to the end results that we have hoped for 7 years to see happen again in our lifetime. We were so very close this past weekend. I would hate to look back and think that the only reason this didn't work, was because we couldn't find a way to see past our differences, and focus on the one thing we ALL have in common, which is our love for this game. If we can't do that, I fear that anything we do will be a short-term solution at best, and we will have nobody to blame but ourselves.
