Official Activity Q4 2025

[Egon Bigmemes]

Unpopular opinion: remove POB rights (except maybe core 1 or 2) from non OFs and watch OFs come back in name at least, if not in spirit.

unpopular opinion, having server activity and special equipment largely circle around POBs has been disastrous for how the community perceives PVP and hostile interactions and as a result, server activity.
every pob siege is personal and if the owner could reach through the internet to personally take out your eyes, they probably would.
every supply transport shot is personal, and youre attacking them/their faction directly and OORPly because youre negatively affecting their pob/their ability to make money/ability to make equipment
so on and so forth.

there's plenty of non-pob problems too of course.

I just compare the game with 2022-2023 ish where I was one of the main drivers of mass activity on the server

you and your friends were single handedly responsible for the biggest decline in population in server history. not as instantaneous as the dev takeover/heavy decision/DDOSing events, but easily the largest decrease of several hundred regular players (a significant loss in 2009, catastrophic in 2022) in ~8 months. you successfully made Liberty one of the least popular and least visited houses while the 1st was still active. yes, you had activity come about in response to your nonsense, and there would be a large burst of it, but because it was so abysmal to take part in, so constant, people got sick of the game and simply stopped playing, and largely the Liberty playerbase. especially Liberty unlawfuls after being dogpiled by a dozen 1st caps every day. nearly every single official and unofficial Liberty/Liberty-adjacent faction despised the presence of you and the 1st.
between the idea that you were a victim to some grand plot against you, your permanent presence in faction feedbacks when you lost a fight/got chewed out by friendlies, and your harebrained schemes to try and get other factions destroyed for not playing in your favor, you managed to turn anywhere from a third to half of the active population (across all time zones) away from the server forever.
not all activity is good activity, and you were the most shining example of that.
