Sorry missed the bit about the test server, you can change corps and alliances as you like on Sisi. But based on actions taken by us so far I would be very wary if you intend to join someone else's alliance for "practice & logistics" reasons. Again, if your not sure about it, don't risk it.

Holy smoke and mirrors batman!

This has sealed the deal for me on the AT this year. The new rules were intentionally left vague to allow freedom of implementation and then permission is given to do what people got banned for but with the caveat that you probably shouldn't do it even though it's not against the rules.

This whole situation has just turned from CCP enforcing what they see as a violation of their rules into a vindictive strike against a group that ruined the final match last year.

At this point I believe no matter how much they tried to stay within the rules Hydra and Outbreak were never going to get to compete this year.


Last year's AT was the first I watched and I enjoyed almost every bit of it, except for the last match. I was looking forward to this years tournament until all of this drama. The only thing of interest now is what prizes will be handed out simply because I'm curious about the ship rewards. I no longer care who wins or loses because the entire tournament is tainted from CCP's actions against Hydra and Outbreak.

Please note I dislike H and O after the way they acted last year but I can respect their dedication and skill. However right now I dislike CCP even more for not just manning up and saying they are mad instead of creating an elaborate hoop system to jump through to try and justify revenge.
