Future of Unity Shard?

Ariadni

I don't imagine I'm on my own out there when I say I feel that GN are running the Unity (European) shard into the ground.

We have a dwindling player base, updates are slow and arrive weeks after the NA shards get them. We are STILL awaiting plot reclamation etc.

In its current state I'd love it if Tulga took over the running of the shard, but it seems that GN are determined to hang on to it for some reason.

What do others think?

GN had a contract with AE not Tulga. All they are doing is allowing the contract to run out or players leave. Which ever comes first. They want out as fast as they can.

Dissatisfaction with the way GN handles the shard is high on Unity. Nonetheless, there is a steady influx of players to counter those that leave -- players who earlier left for wow or eq2 and return as well as new players.
Their reasons for trying hz (again) are mainly:
1) a real friendly and mature community
2) crafting
3) opportunity to play a dragon.

So it is by no means sure that Unity's Istaria will be empty in the near future. We very old players who have never left are tenacious, many of us determined to be the very last to leave.

One of the worst things about the Tulga-GN situation is that each side has the chance to blame the other for everything that goes wrong with Unity bug- and lagwise. And they jump at that chance. Rumors abound and well -- yes -- outright lies and the player base feels left out in the rain. The information policy is dismal, as is (for the most part) the support.

Nevertheless, this is a great game. It would deserve better.

I am new to Horizons and I like the game play. Then I thought to myself last night why didn't I start sooner!
