History

In early January Shaatar officially resigned from eXistence and the High Council after months of inactivity. Shortly thereafter Subzero decided to quit the eXistence and join with the Galactic Imperial Army, prompting a new wave of eXistence members individually visiting GIA's forums and reviving old arguments. During one of the Sunday clan meetings it was decided that all eXistence members should ignore GIA in all forms, but individual encounters with GIA members continued, adding more fuel to the conflicts. To ensure eXistence remained strong, bwp_2001 wrote up alliances for the clans of Sith Mercenaries (SM), a former Jedi Knight clan, and The Force Confederation (TFC), a long-time enemy of GIA whom Lord Talon of eXistence referred us to and later left eXistence to join with. TFC became the first ally of eXistence in over a year, while SM declared friendship with eXistence but decided to revise the treaty first. Shortly thereafter, eXistence was hit by one of the most serious blows since the summer of 2003. The High Council member Link made a closed-door treaty with Darchind that if his ideas were not approved in eXistence he would leave eXistence for GIA, which he did in mid-February. As host of the eXistence server, he closed both the message board and the website and left eXistence in a state of chaos. The GIA declared victory again in their forums and many members such as Realm began to argue for a fight openly. Several temporary message boards were created by various eXistence members, but ultimately Korzac came forward and established his own server. He invited a guest of eXistence named Reno along with Cloud, Vasectomy, TFC member Narsil, and DarkNight to recreate the forums of eXistence, and within days a backup of the original forum was reestablished. But the forum did not last longer than 2 weeks before it was closed down. None of the administrators could find the reason, but GIA created a rumor that Vasectomy and Darchind had a treaty to erase the forums and force eXistence to rely on Vasectomy more closely. This was proven false, and while the means that the forum was deleted remained uncertain, the last 2 accounts to login before its destruction were Link (now known as Annubis) and Darchind, therefore placing suspicion primarily on them.
