I sent you a personal email but I will repeat part of it here...
I played RRO for near 15 years. It started out better than incredible. For me, it ended when GMs colluded to corrupt practices with a popular guild and blew off all complaints. So I walked. Left 8 accounts and 20K in donates to the 1st player I came across. It comes as no surprise... The drama and backstabbing.
Since you are going to make a go of a new and improved RO and not just lay on your ass and cry... Then I will return and do all I can to support you. I have faith in you and I remember RRO when you were at the helm. I look forward to it again.
I think you will find a good many absent friends will return.
