You know what? Sorry but had some fun for a while. Was no way that action would not trigger a united clan attack, but hey was kind of fun defending a high level base for a change. Grats on the base OC. Hope wasn't too dull for you being forced to kick us off your land
So we took advantage of something that was probably a really hard time for OC guild. From what I heard fromm Speeddlr he was just tired of game going nowhere and had issues with some of the stuff going on in clan atm. He was apparently very torn up about losing some old friends. What anyone's motivations are I can't know; let my subscription to Rimor Clans Soap Opera Digest lapse months ago.
Why did getting something handed to us give us hope? Well actually the base was less important to us I think than the fact that it's existence kicked into motion some good talks about ways to try to move Omni forward again. For many Omni because of numbers of active members NW is forcing change that is necessary now, but also maybe because it is, things that would not have worked before are viable now.
The merger between LH and IC sortof got kicked into gear because of a base but likely the hopes for what could be gained from such a merge in getting more enjoyment out of the game surpasses any one base.
A base isnt going to rejuvinate Omni, and sorry to all clan who think they could change it in one action. You do not see the whole picture, really even I can't having leveled my first char past 150 as clan. Both sides have those names on their friends list that you haven't seen since "the good old days" You aren't any smarter than Omni, you do not have better honor, you are not better people. The most common reason people give when asked "why are you still here?" is always "for the people I have met" I rarely hear people say they stay for the highly entertaining BS mission leveling process, or the equally amusing controlled Tara raids. But you enjoyed actually playing the game with those people and if that becomes even more of a chore to try to get any action in the game then of course a smaller pool of players will get even smaller.
