This is my personal opinion, based on what myself, as a pod pilot, has seen in and out of xelas.
Xelas isnt on full control, but neither is celest. Both sides are pretty equal around fountain core, and theres interesting fights for both sides. Xelas is losing more, but thats to be generally expected considering they are not a pvp alliance, and celest is. Overall, its great fun, and not impossable for neutral corps to setup and have fun. Infact it is very possable, but make sure you prepare and plan everything our correctly, and expect to take heavy losses (then if you dont its a nice surprise :) )
Overall, i would say Celest is winning. However becuase Xelas numbers are massive, its doubtful that they will go anywhere soon. Lets remember people, that fountain core is a NPC area, and its almost impossable to drive anyone out once they are settled in.
As for Demon Womb leaving Xelas, we left because of several reasons. As i see it, I personally no longer wished to remain because of bad leadership (I felt it was almost non-existant from Xelas), lack of PVP effort put forward by the alliance (the only time Xelas really really did well and gather a awesome fleet was when BOB buggered Mitch to do something about celest- thats from Mitch himself), I mean after Celest posted version 1 of this, we was ment to camp celest in and outblob them until they got bored, i think we managed 2 nights of that and that was it. Also i was tired of arranging gangs to engage celest and having 4 people turn up, when 200 alliance members are online. They all alts or something?
And finally, I was tired of being BOB's slave corp. Fair deal to them that they need them, I mean they control a massive amount of space, and with their continued amazing pvp efforts they need others to control the systems. But I put in a good 30 hours of work for our outpost, and then I hear that with Dark-Rising handing over leadership to...someone, and reports that BOB will take over the outpost (or COIN, they have been hanging around PNQY for a while now), and I felt sick...I put that time in for a XELAS outpost, and I felt cheated and used. I put them time in becuase I loved my alliance, and after that It was the final straw...And i put my vote in to leave. But i still love fountain...and have no wish to leave the region. Therefore there was no choice but to take up celests offer.
So far, ive found celest to be pretty nice guys. Even when i was in Xelas, they never smacktalked, and it was always "Good fight, great fun" and all that after a fight, if I had killed them or they had killed me. They cost me a LOT of money in ships, but they was always nice about it, and I was able to have a laugh. I dont approve of some of the stuff they do, but thats how they play, and thats perfectly within the game, so im not going to hold it against them.
So far, when my pvp forces have engaged Xelas, we have been met with mostly smacktalk. Mainly from the QUINT corp, they have no nothing but belittle and insult my forces and the corp im in. This is something celest never did. Most of Xelas are nice guys, and remain smacktalk free, however QUINT have lost any respect I have, as a small pilot in the depth of space. If they care ;)
Overall, in the fountain region great fun is to be had by pod pilots of all corps and alliance, be they Xelas, Celest, Horde, or neutral. Xelas will always have my friendship, becuase even thou i considered the alliance to not be for me, I made many friends there, and its nice talking to them,, while blowing eachother up as hard as possable hehe.
Just have fun guys. fountain always has been and likey always will be warzone, however lets keep the fights smackfree, and enjoyable. Noones going anywhere soon, and Im not going to comment on any of the other posts here in this communication channel. This is my opinion, take it or leave it. All I know is, ive got a lot of experance, and a lot of fun, and I hope that contines for all
