Good lord. Just remake Samura| and show current playerbase is worth official status. Hijacking disbanded or dead factions should be prohibited by staff. Because it completely skews what it means to gain and keep official status. Some factions have to wait 6 months to gain official status despite being much more worthy than some dead factions ready to be scavenged by vultures.
This is a disgrace to what it means to be an exemplary official faction.
