It is nice to see players paying their respect to Ibladesh. For me it was a very important realm since I've made some of my first successful characters there and I've devoted much time to Ibladesh in the last 3 years. I think Ibladesh gave a lot of good stuff to EC, especially in terms of war. Ibbies were the best enemy there is and Perdan-Ibladesh wars have been more or less constant for many years. In BM it is actually hard to find a good enemy, and I think Perdan and the rest of the continent will now have a harder time finding such a foe. It will be definitely interesting to observe how will the political situation of EC evolve from now on, and what will the two new Ibby split-offs do. As for Ibladesh, I am sorry to see it gone, but heck, it is all a part of the rich history of East Continent.
