FCC started playing better mmorpg / multiplayer games way before Fenada got taken , which explains how it was taken easily. We gave hell of a fight to Mercs last strat and some Leiknir could take over a village with his small army ? Dream on ...
This said, you see more and more players switching to Nord Invasion, Killing Floor, SWTOR or whatever is cheap on steam these days. Which means anything that isn't Strategus makes player happy now. There's not much to argue on that, as it is obvious it's happening.
At some point you have to ask yourself ... did Strategus ever worth the hours invested ? Waking up at 4am for a game ? I mean , the concept is great, but it's only great for no-lives and people who do have one started caring less and less until we found something better somewhere else.
This ain't a FCC GTX. See it as a "About time we stopped playing a bugged game where devs are directly involved in the factions and troll their community members".
If that makes you feel better at night, if it helps you sleeping better... then go ahead and keep trolling : ) You're cool , on THE internet.
