I agree Lighting Bolts sting... and lets face it are a bit shocking...
To stop myself from the puns and horrible jokes filling my head. I'll say this, the game is great fun if your in one of the realms where the action is, weather that be from wars or just from the community. If your unlucky enough to be in a quiet realm, like Giblot has somewhat become, while being the punching bag for the island, the game stinks... But having said that it can be great fun to very publicly fight to the bitter end. But you've got to have a crowd to cheer you on.
Lukon has what Giblot once did, PEOPLE, Vocal people. People who want to be in the game, not just check in once in a while.
So should lighting bolts fall from the sky to smite the Lukon Dogs (sorry Giblot propaganda slipped in there), no. Lukon has played the hand they were dealt, maybe even preforming a service to the Colonies by ridding the world of the quiet realms making way for the large, loud, and popular realms to take their place.
