has anyone noticed you (renvall/astral) have done the same thing, but from delphi to ephesus to ithaca?
No - I didn't. I haven't had time for much so I ended up just leaving delphi - deciding to quit ephesus after TSs' leader started acting... badly and now I'm here, just testing heroes.
I'm not running from anything. TS is running from several alliances - I'm not scared of any alliance. All are treated the same, because an experienced alliance can turn out to be poorly organized, and an MRA might actually do some damage to you (doubtful lol...)
I mean - the eventual winners of EN ephesus altogether had 411 players (Until they merged and got more...) That's an MRA, but a quite well organized one at that. (excuse me if I got that wrong
Thats how many they had when I was there and then they merged into Aristoi who won. I'm not sure how many members of aristoi there were.)
