Lol- I'm not in WK, but they are very resilient. For being trapped in the middle of a slaughterhouse (you can't call it anything else), they have done extremely well at bouncing back. They didn't hop ship, they relocated to another ocean to continue the game. Most people would quit after that, and many WK did I'm sure, but they kept on. Cities are won and lost overnight on this game. Resilience is a quality that is not to be scoffed at. Necromongers fell apart in a much more favorable situation, and they all ran off to ya'll, or joined the other side. Not so with WK. In the future, there may be an end to WK, but I wouldn't go so far to say that they will collapse next. They have a large player population in 34/44 interspersed with PoW, so I don't think you will see the collapse of them any time soon, unless it's in a merge. Just my thoughts. Maybe you should look at some maps and look into the history of alliances before you pass such judgments. I've learned that predicting the future in this game is a tricky business. People can jump from one alliance to another very quickly and alliances can switch sides too. As this thread is for summing up the past, perhaps you should stick to that.
