Look, why would anyone try a phoom, if one can apply for a terrorist id. Personaly, I have no issue of keeping the old concept dead, I think it goes without saying, but I get the feeling we no longer need RoS like factions who end up doing nothing, with a system, that does nothing. If u are against continuing the old phooms, with a rebrand, totally different from the phooms then thats something else. This btw I believe means that, they wont be called "phantoms" anymore.
There are better reasons for all the Phantom assets to exist than as mere flavour for the odd backstory.
While I don't contend that many of the Phantoms were incredible gameplay assets and interactionally beneficial, they - particularly towards the end of their time here - do not deserve this aura of sanctity that people seem to be shrouding them in.
I daresay even that people who no longer make use of the server should stop trying to shape its future, when such shaping will only affect others and not themselves, even slightly.
I don't believe Virus should hold any particular sway over the usage of actual in-game assets, although I would agree that rebooting the old Phantom lore in any way, shape or form would be a bad idea, especially without his consent.

On a sidenote... it's so nice to see all these old vets crawling back to enjoy Disco once more and play it.
But anyway, I personally think it has been cleared that this won't be a continuation or revival of the old phantoms, just that... the stuff and items that they have left behind will be given an entirely new purpose. I long to see what new faction or idea will inhabit that which the phantoms left behind. I don't think there's a reason to flash the remarkably old join date and crawl back from the graves just to post whenever something apparently goes against to what you have left behind because... I don't think that's going to happen, especially in this case.
If it would actually be happening... things would had been different, aye.
Regardless of anything, courtesy goes a long way...

When I saw this I nearly wept. I never played as one but did encounter them quite a number of times. I say let them rest in peace. At the very least change the name and lore enough so their not recognisable as the original phantoms. I really do not want fond memories turned into a grotesque parody.

I agree.
But you do have swag.
