Liquidation & Farewell

Written by Australian Warlord at 09:21 5/5-2012

  The future of Australian Warlord had been under shadows for some time, with RL negotiations for the resources of its manager. It had always been a situation where other activities would need to justify its existence to continue.
  Well, the time required for completing the RL opportunity negotiations had taken much longer than expected, but the result for Australian Warlord is the same. The team in OCM has been judged as not being able to justify the time resources of its manager into the future and is to be liquidated. Much of this liquidation has already taken place and is expected to be completed by the 15th of May.
  
  It had been known that AW's manager considered the ‘first come first served’ nature of the current rider trade market to be less than fair for those with limited time, but he wouldn’t be drawn into the question of whether he might have kept the team operating with a more time fair OCM system. Instead, he preferred to commend the OCM president (Nick) for being a genuinely ‘decent guy’ (which he stated as rare among the game owners community), and hoped OCM would continue its path of development.
  
  To all those who remain in OCM, AW's manager wishes best fortunes into the future; both in game, and more importantly in RL.
