1) "Most of "Neutral" or "No clan" players were from DL" - its so bullsh1t, it's not even a common sense. If they are already in DL, how they are noclans\new players who are chosing the side? I'm not talking is it good for the server or bad. I described that it's not DL's fault that they have more ppl for some time, its all WS efforts. What a bullsh1t are u trying to imply here by "Classic is about mass grups, not for solo/selfish players."? Really? ABG\loa random groups were no idea about that, thank you mighty and kind WS side that pushed everything on 2 legs inside the ally. Poor stupid ppl could not survive without your help
2) Shortly? Yes. To have fun and competition. Conditions were changed. You had wars before that ally, it wouldnt trouble for anyone to have wars again. No wars, no competition >> reduced online for every side>slow dying of the server. The hunger for domination&epics was lasted for 6 month and finally we have the big war again.
It does work like this if the side have balls. If the leaders of the side understand that the big war is necessary to any l2 server to be alive. WS side was turning the server to 1-sided swamp. I've been in this shoes many times on several servers but I never met so short-sighted greedy leaders.
