Elaborated forum reply 1.
Okay allow me to break things down for you and shine some light behind the logic.
Sure i do understand that some people gets frustrated and feel betrayed here.
But if we start look at the specific changes
- Removal of titles
Its simply because the server has been alive for over 7 years now.
There's actually a very small amount that is the original owner of those gladiator characters.
And if we wanna talk about unique-ness. Your titles doesn't mean anything when so many players have the same title.
- Removal of arena statistics
This is related to the statement i made above.
And in an addition, people are not able to reach the 3k mark like they could years ago when the server was more active.
The arena statistics is creating a false illusion of the players current skill and also gives them an easy ride for arena transmogs.
- Removal of VIP benefits
Yes yes, I completely understand that you feel entitled to the benefits of the 60€ you spent 5 years ago.
You got so much value out of that donation over the years and we're now reformatting the realm to be more sustainable and so it can contribute for upcoming tournaments.
The most healthy way for the server's environment is to restart the server with clean characters.
I really think this can blow some fresh air into the server. The end result will be better than what we have today.
