SW? You mean weeks of blob staring for 1 to 2 days of actives killing actives, then semi actives killing inactos and then the losing side having heaps of drop outs? I don't see how that is any good for the server in the long run.

Unfortunately I don't think server wars increase activity.

They do increase hate & inactivity and if a crash happens, then a lot of quitting. In the long run they are probably bad for business.
Won't be no crashing cause both sides won't have enough activity to move 50-55B to crash the other... and Borg/Shld defidently won't go to the 70s cause you also have GRLL and TI whom aren't part of the war but are part of Cruel/13th allies,family.
Activity won't go down.. but only up.. cause of more Ops.. and more risks of losing/killing enemy fleets on Ops. Won't hurt to try a war for 8 weeks.. unlike past Server wars that lasted like 1-2 years.

Weeks of blob staring? It's been 2 years of blob staring already.. and it will continue if a SW happens or Not for 8 weeks :) Also we are already killing off inactives if we have a War or not :)

We could move that much in less than 2 days notice, but as you point out, even in a 3sided server you can't only shoot the other side you have to shoot both others.

The server don't need a new guild. Only a new way of doing business. And that is the CUBE way: free space pirates who don't obey the rules :)

OP has requested lock. Here is a highlight reel that wraps up the thread. ~50bil cannot crash a 50bil defender blob because they wont have the 100% mobility/activity needed and would likely get massacred when the event crashes the server itself.

Changing into another guild will not help much as the situation you describe is notable in most guilds to a greater or lesser extent.
efanton wrote:thanks solace, your offer is very much appreciated, and I definitely will consider it.

Yes alpha is on a slow but steady decline but there's still mileage and a bit of fun left in it for those that remain active.
