I will allow myself to be hypocritic as well in my own way and say that, for the first and maybe last time, I think Calamity shouldn't (or shouldn've) been destroyed.

Not in this way. b:shocked



I wish you all safe journies and good hunting.

The truth is, with the 68 remaining people, we would have been able to stop 80% of the attacking wars if we had agreed to it. If it was decided that we would rebuild, and we mass accepted people into calamity, we probably would have only lost 5 of those wars, maybe fewer. Mass accepting people would have been differeent though from what we had started to do late map opposed to early map. Back when I joined, my recruiter being Sabra, joining calamity was easy. Faction req was 65, I joined at lvl 52. Interview was fast.

Now. I understand that the officers did not want to fall back on this old system of recruiting since we started using that application form, followed by the waiting period and stuff... but holding the land was also a possibility if it was chosen. Sure, there would be 5 new colors, heck, if we only decided to defend the 1 man factions, there would be a ton of new colors. Even if we had decided to not defend at all, at the least Calamity would still be alive, with a different roster, but Calamity would still be Calamity. It would have 68 old members and a bunch of new ones. I joined Calamity knowing 1 person who eventually quit like 3 weeks after I joined, but I made a ton of new friends. I convinced some of my friends to join Calamity as well, and they convinced some others. I'm not saying this isn't possible in Regenesis or Insanity, its just, theres an attachment to certain tags and logos.

For example, in the movie 300, all that was asked was that they change their logo to join the allied nations. Nothing else. They fought to the death. There is pride in titles, and seeing something just get destroyed without even having a chance to do anything about it. Heck, if Calamity had 1 person in the faction right now, chances are, that one person might be able to stop 4-5 of those wars himself in a 1 v 1 cata rush.

And as some people stated above, if we really wanted to have a complete faction change, wwe wouldn't have broken up into 2 factions. Something like 4 or 5 different balanced factions would have been more realistic. The majority went into Regenesis while a smaller group into Insanity. Then a few people scattered everywhere else. A lot of people are angry at both sides at each other, which is understandable. Calamity can still be ressurected but I'm pretty sure that everyone is stubborn enough now to not want to even try.

Now a lot of you have been telling me how they expected me to join Regenesis or Insanity. Actually, so far, 13 ppl. I probably will not join either on this character on the basis of pride. This character is Calamity. Stayed in Calamity since nearly the beginning, back when we still met at Sundown town, back when Calamity was the first to release Chihwen, back when Calamity was the first inside CoA and stay till the end of the instance, thinking that it might not actually be bugged, back when we were laughing at PG for being late to the Plume TW, back when Seraphim was leading, followed by lightaine, Tyranny, _Trixy_, then BB. As such, I probably will not join Regenesis or Insanity on the simple fact that I would rather not be in either faction just because I like to remember when Calamity was... well... Calamity.

ya, but they didnt earn the land. Most of these factions have never even fought tw monsters. I can remember the tough fights early game when the tw monsters were high lvl mobs. i realize that even if there was a reset, the mobs wouldnt be much of a problem, however, thinking of lost, plume, 1k, arch etc, those mobs are still dangerous regardless. these factions are all strong enough to fight them properly, but it would still require effort, effort that simply been turned into a free give away. there are no charm ticks, no potions spent, no planning, no nothing. just 1-4 ppl entering into an instance, running down a lane and hitting a crystal. then next week... its a bidding war on tier 2 lands with a few tiny factions getting eaten up. in 2 months times, there will be qqing about greedy big factions and how this faction is evil, this faction's players are horrible and things like this. i realize im sounding depressing... its just, i really dont feel that a lot lot of these factions have earned their right to own land. a few of them yes. others... im not so sure.

I'm not saying that all of them are getting them freebie, actually, they have to pay at least 120k. lol. point is, a lot of them dont even know what the tw monsters are.

Pi= 4x (1-1/3+1/5-1/7+1/9-1/11+1/13..........)

the ... should be an indication of how amazing he is.

but ya. i miss the old days when cala killed mobs instead of these days where ppl hit an undefended crystal
