I came to ED at the end of Legion. The RP exodus was fresh.
You can say that didn’t affect anything all you want, but it took most of the Alliance Leadership with it. And most if not all of the people that actually put on events and ran things for the server as a whole.
Alliance was left with, mostly, just a few WPVP guild leads who, if I recall, all went Horde not long after…
Remember that really stupid period of time before Classic when the larger ED guilds all banded together and thought they were doing something taunting RUIN. Then they “fought” a few times, kept crashing the server, cried, said this sucks, and ran off to Classic or just stopped doing anything.

- Nobody told you to stay one faction.
Its amazing reading these replies and how majority of them just give themselves away knowing exactly how things went awry, but at the same time not wanting to own up to it or do anything about it.
Let’s just, everyone here, take a moment to do some self reflection.
Think, what am I doing to make this situation better? Anything? How do you answer that question? Are you honestly contributing in a positive way, or are you just very outspoken with your thumb up your…
