Quickly lost interest in the game and a lot of their members quit/left guild.



Purge becomes one of the biggest powerhouses on the West after this, still had a strong alliance with Void. They went from pirating to not attacking faction members so long as they weren’t provoked first and weren’t on their KoS. Most of the West still believed they were getting pirated by Purge by a very very large grey area in their politics. It was stated that Purge put their alliance first, so if you attacked Void they would help defend them and purple on you. Screenshots were asked if any members were disobeying this rule and to this day I’ve never seen one.



After this a new alliance rises in the ashes of the NTC. The Western Trade Coalition (WTC) forms as an attempt to unite the west against the East and Purge. Many guilds were taken into this alliance but it came down to the point where most of the guilds were absorbed into <Phoenix Legion>.



At this point, Purge and Void are very dominant. Void controls Freedich regularly and works with Purge to farm Rangora and Kraken to gear their members. This goes on for a couple months until DB start getting quite a few members. DB knows that the Purge/void alliance work really well together and look for a similar partnership. Burgen, as mentioned earlier, was the only other pirate guild and allied with DB. These guilds work together and farm world bosses much as Purge and Void had in the past. Purge would often stop by and disrupt the Kraken attempts while void attempted to port in to Freed often to disrupt the Rangora attempts.



Void disbands and returns to West faction. Eastern pirate members reroll West, join Burgen, or go back to East faction. Burgen quickly becomes too large for a pirate guild and with some internal struggles, loses a lot of their members.



CR sells their castle to Void for ~ 12k? I’m not sure of price anymore. CR disbands and members go to DB/JD and other various guilds. Most people are unhappy that Void has a castle and shun them for purchasing it.



DB works up to siege Pwnography. Pwnography refuses help from other faction members despite even Purge and Void volunteering to help them. They defend with 20 people, some of which were not even 50 yet. DB claims the castle for the East. Large dispute, a lot of assuming the castle was sold to DB for sexual favors.



There is a lot of contesting between DB and Purge/Void during these times. There was a large struggle between them and neither really respected the other behind the scenes. Many people would say how much they respected the PvP they brought to each other but it was pretty much lies. Things got very personal, there was name calling, racial slurs, and it was honestly pretty bad from both ends.



JD never removed their members that had quit, last I checked there was about 300-350 inactive members left. The active ones decided to branch off with a new name. <Ayahasuca> (Aya) was created. Aya recaptured their old castle, JD. They were slowly growing and were on there way to becoming a promising guild.
