Speaking on behalf of {343} here. The ZOI Problem is only part of the issue, but to get this right: I have abandoned Discovery, and as of now, the faction is effectively nonexistant. The person I gave the faction to (and the leadership change is still not reflected in the forum, by the way) is experiencing Real-Life issues and does not have the time to keep it up, at least if my information is still correct.
The faction has been experiencing heavy issues over the course of its existence. Beginning with the hatesquad-attacks that made logging a pain in Summer of last year, the promises of the Civil War being on the Horizon and the constant prolonging of said events, ended by the ZOI of the faction (both NPC and official ID) not being adjusted for over seven months now, the memberbase has been constantly shrinking and losing its interest. By the end of my investment in the server in May, I had a mere five people in the Skype chat, most of which were not interested in the faction anymore.
So, to sum this up: I did my very best to make Kusari interesting again, and to make the civil war a thing. I set it up with a lot of events, logging ingame and animating people to do it. The response that came from all sides (community, Admins and Developers) was constant ignorance of the problems we were facing or even causing more, both by ignoring it and by actively working against it.
So unless the person I gave the faction to decides to speak up and take the helm, I hereby officially disband {343}. Good luck getting activity, interesting stuff and whatever in Kusari with that attitude, Discovery.
