It is not our place to question the orders of those lawfully appointed to command. Our duty under Article 3 of the Code of Conduct is to obey the legal commands given us. We may debate the wisdom of those commands on the forums, always seeking to learn from our choices, but when the command has been given and confirmed, it is to be obeyed.

If people will not accept Lethality, even as an association of convenience, then I propose we go back to a Closed Faction on Black Desert, so there will be no question of competing guild association. There will be one one guild association permitted, that of the KGB.

If that means we die due to insufficient numbers, then we die.

Better to die at the hands of an actual enemy than at the hands of one who should be a Battle Brother.

That way lies Heresy, and the Taint of Chaos.


Respectfully Owain,

There was never a closed faction in BDO, it has always been open. BDO kind of happened over night, there was no pre-planning like we had in darkfall or archeage. So out of respect for the knights who already had plans to be playing with their friends or other guilds (again there was no plans for kgb to even be in BDO), we chose to remain open until a time that we could prove we had sufficient numbers and stability.

You should demonstrate a minimum viable product and actual stability before you even consider going closed at this point. There's already a few knights on the fence of resigning over this drama, going closed and forcing the others to come to a shaky faction that would probably fall apart shortly after really would be the tipping point in even more knights resigning.
