@Ktayn, same thing that happend when they did to Kusari, nothing at all.
As a Bretonian player, a BAF Admiral (that knew about all this honestly..) I have come to terms with it, I was as constructive as I could be. I feel that it will be fine, as long as players behave with respect and do not cheapen everything by poor standards in pvp and roleplay.
And the Gallians, prepare for a wave of French related jokes and a whooping.
Generally; Bretonia while getting picked on in the story, in terms of players it will not be as one sided, if people quit in protest or because they're sick of winning, but somehow losing, then that is a shame.
