There is a famous saying that goes;
"There is no such thing as bad publicity"
For people talking about other servers, whatever your opinion, the more you talk about them here, the more you advertise them. This is not fair on this server. If people want to play somewhere else that is their own business.
As for DC. If the second oldest clan needs to go through somewhat of a rebuilding, then what better oportunity for players to join and rise through the ranks quickly. We have a great history, a great system, great relationships with other clans, and any current troubles will only see us emerge stronger that ever.
Yes, I know I was ready to leave myself, but I am more happy than you could know that I was talked into staying. Like a Phoenix rising from the ashes DC have been, are, and always will be, a force to be respected and feared on this server.
My own VERY unbiased opinion.
