EVE General Discussion

GMs have set "RvB - RED Federation" free

Exactly a year ago (same date! 1st Dec) our alliance was disbanded when the 2011 winter patch cleared the autopay checkbox, the alliance bill didnt get paid and after downtime it looked like someone had stolen all the grass off our lawn. At the same time numerous other alliances also found their autopay checkboxes minus a check but were able to fix it before their sov bill was due as our unscheduled disband caused a flurry of social media chatter about the problem.

Unlike Red Fed we had all our sov systems drop and had a massive spike of activity to create a replacement alliance and reclaim each system. We couldnt have done that anywhere near as smoothly as was done without the help of our CFC buddies who were frankly amazing, hats off to them!

It took us a little longer to completely sort the mess out than Red Fed has taken as we had the added complication of getting Sov levels restored (and convincing CCP to sort it out in the first place!) but we eventually got our original alliance (with cool logo) and previous sov levels back just before christmans.

So those that say CCP has set a precedent / showed favouritism with what they have done for Red Fed... No they have done it before when genuine reasons for the loss of an alliance happen.

What I will say to all alliance leaders is this: On the 30th November next year, check your damn autopay checkbox! [tinfoil]

Stuff happened ,



Even with no war , reds are just shooting reds and blues are shooting blues so life/death goes one .



Now we just need a new war with the Dec shield so all the shiny wartarget who undock all the time can keep playing with us as well.

Reading is hard.

That particular someone would be CCP.

This would have been far more rageable if there was sov stuffs to deal with. That would have been the suck, Xanthanan.
