I can agree with that. I just have my considerations about it and how deal with this process. I dreamed about north vs south for a long time, but I imagined this conflict in that context, when we had much more characters (for both sides).
Again, I don't believe that destroy Perdan, Sirion or Caligus will be better for EC, like destroy the SA maybe isn't a good thing for Dwilight. I still believe that a solid old-enough realm is better than a flash-new-realm. Even smaller, I still believe they're better.
But now I can consider myself an old player, both in game time as for age, and maybe I'm too surly. I'll certainly be here to see how it all turned out.
