I have a theory. Perhaps the couple of ppl who administer this game went on Christmas vacation and no one was around to deal with the glitches. I note that there were no Christmas packages this year so maybe less and less money is being generated for Tynon and nobody really cares anymore..

And Dragon? You have more white marias than anyone else on this game (including Guin , Requiem, and others) so quit complaining when others use her. I got mine by chance only a few months ago and having her created such jealousy and hostility on my server that a couple of longterm players quit. I contacted Tynon and offered not to use her if they would just make it an even playing field by asking others to do the same. No reply. I actually voluntarily took her out of my form for a couple of weeks but there is really no way to compete in CW now unless I use her.

Now, of course, there is no competing at all, it seems. Also? Players power down in CW to avoid winning/getting a crown with an indefinite future negative buff. There is no altruism towards guildies or friends at all anymore on this game regardless of what Dragon may say...

Alika will watch a few more days but then sayonara, I expect. It's been a 'slice'.
