It really was sad to login one day and see the alliance disbanded. I was happy with our position and was looking forward to seeing how this world played out. This world has turned out 100% differently than I expected. Joining in summer 2011, I haven't been around since the beginning but I got to know a little bit about the big players and alliances and felt at home playing this game. From Guardians of Olympus to Jasmine Union to TON, I never found an alliance I really felt would be around til the end until I joined Adrenaline.
As for the suggestion that we disbanded to avoid war, I'm glad it's been established that we had no idea it was happening. I think we in ADN ran into the same problem that we did in ToN. The founder couldn't afford much time to play any longer and if he couldn't run the alliance, no one would. Just my opinion, take it for what it is.
That said, I can't blame Failed for putting rl first but it would have been nice to pick a new leader instead of him disbanding and going to VM.
