Depends on your perception of Xanadu I guess...

[K03N]

would be great

[SilverSmoke]

I don't see the point. PA as we knew it is death and will never be the game it was, let's keep Xanadu as it was in the game's history. We have other universes to conquer now.

[Silk_311x]

Xanadu's time in Planetarion has already passed. It would be better to stay as a memory in this game then to return.

[Scouse]

I'm guessing a few members would return, but a lot will have either quit or found a new home, where they are happy, elsewhere.


So bringing them back as a PA alliance is probably a bad idea, but with enough of their old command to form the spine, it could be considered as Xanadu again.


But as mentioned, PA still seems to be dying and Xanadu had their time in PA, it's best, in my opinion, if they remain a disbanded alliance.

[ElAlan]

I would love to see them back but ofc that is from a view of wanting the planetarion of r7 and before back, in the planetarion now it may well be very hard to put together.

On the flip side if enough would go back it could only be good looking at the lack of alliances we do have atm.

[cypher]

they were an ok alliance... should quit while they're ahead..

[Ston3D]

As long as the Xanadu chicks return its fine by me :P

Current alliances are rather crap compared to the old Xanadu/Fury

Can we beat that multi-wave we did back in r4? How many was it again?

sixteen on singus 253:1?

[furssie]

hmmm... I wonder if it's more than the other gal. The gal where a quote was invented that goes something like: "DEFEND!! I will disband this alliance if you all won't!" *memories*

[Terminator2003]

neh

xanadu wouldnt EVER be the same

all things come to pass, let them stay there in the past

[hydridia]

Im so sick of the crap i read and tbh it is a load of ****ing crap!


when i see people type why com back to a dead game!!
it is not dead........ i played all rounds of pa most as a n00b and to be honest its more alive than before..sure lot less players or is that bots?

but we have a fun game...you say its dead then piss off
i see new people coming to the game all the time and with what jolt think they are going to do to the game then there will prob be more people coming in.


so again stfu aint a dead game just because its changed to what you dont like dont mean its dead so bugger off!


btw
xanadu do what the hell you like


rant over !

[G.K Zhukov]

An interesting question would always be if Xanadu without LDK would be any good.

Ofcourse it would be good. Silly question.
Remember the Bull galaxies? They were equally good.

And quality aside...

[hydridia]

The bull galaxies did rock that is for sure.

rarely mentioned mind you LDK seem to take the spot light away!

[Hicks]

Ministry and KoN were both great when they could be bothered. Section were quite nifty at times to.

[Killerbij]

As an ex Xanadu and Ministry member I dont think returning Xanadu will bring a lot of good to PA and the alliance: firstly it wont consist out of the ppl it used to (I know plenty of ppl including me who wont even give it a try).

Secondly I think round 10 wont be a good time to start an alliance the size of xanadu: everything I've seen and heard so far would indicate that smaller alliances will be far better off next round.

On a sidenote I agree Xanadu was a great alliance but lets keep it that way and not make some mockery of it in rnd 10. You moved to eve and should stay there imho. If you really want to come back at least name it Xanadu-corp so there is a clear distinction between the old and new Xanadu.

[DarkAngel]

id love 2 see xanadu back, if it was again what it was b4, anything else would tarnish the great image she left behind.

Take note that XanCorp in EVE is completely different from the Xanadu alliance we've seen in PA. Different game, different structure, different members.

correct me if im wrong scorp but 100% of the eve hc were xan hc iirc :P some ppl even got their officier position coz of what they did in pa.

fs, don't turn this into a Fury = Eclipse thread

But erm... Xerxes, CC, Punisher etc. They weren't involved with Xanadu in PA . Punisher for example wasn't even involved with PA, just like other players. Still have many members from other alliances in PA though.
That's what I meant with saying it was different. Members from all over the place, and not simply carried over the alliance from PA to EVE.

[Lord_Olrik]

read carefully. i was talking about the HC. and ofc im aware of the none pa ppl in xan eve...


anyway ecl !=fury etc etc

hehe i don´t use my account on the boards that often

no im not xanadu hc in Xanadu GC

[Thekar]

i really wonder about what you all wrote about planetarion as i wonder if you played this round.

It was the first time that i saw blocks split because they wanted to make the game more interesting. the real winnders are weet and not only et. tbh the game was over when weet won, the victory of et against we was already part of the after-game havoc period.

(i know you think its totally different)


you might think that pa is more boring that in the past but i tell you, it is the same, the only difference is that only around 4k + farms, scansplanets, defplanets -players play planetarion this round. in the past it was the same, but it just took longer that one side owned the other.

i think planetarion with around 30k accounts would be unbelievable great fun but i agree with you, its not with 4k.


Xanadu will 100% NOT return if planetarion stays at is it, but i find it interesting if the pacrew really gets more players to play the game (im skeptical, i would not pay for a game i don´t know at all) and if the numbers of players raises again higher than 10k i would really love to see xanadu back.

(although ToT is not bad either *g)

[Mav]

Bring back Xanadu, while we are on the subject, also bring back VtS

[Lord_Olrik]

and dont forget to get Mav back in his cage ^^

[Anakin]

i doubt enougth of the 'orignal' xanadu is left, or would be willing to return, to call this 'new xan' ... Xanadu.

Haveing been a 'natural' enemy of Xanadu since i first came onto the scean in planetarion (NoS etc) ... i have the upmost respect for the title, and legend that has become Xanadu, but i feel it can only go down hill from here on in...

It worrys me Xanadu may become yet another Great alliance to turn the wrong way down **** creek.. without a padel..

The Illuminati (r3/r4/r5/r6 NoS) / Post tink/wipeout NoS..
Wolfpack/WPO
Titans, Plush/Oly? =P
Virus / Viper ? heh.

imho.

[niwaie]

only if frst agreed to be military hc. but as frst has no idea of pa, we will most likely stay at eve.

[Lord_Olrik]

hmmm looking at the current xan chans all founders are online :P

[Mitre]

Dont think the founders would bring back Xanadu to PA just to fail. If it comes back i bet it will be a new strong Xanadu

Because LDK kinda left Xanadu before they disolved?

[Ap0k]

rather to have it honoured in the past than disgraced in the present imo.

not that it wouldnt be good to see it back, but unless a vast majority of the old crew came back with it, it wouldnt be Xanadu. and to play without the Xanadu 'spirit', and possibly fail, would tarnish a legendary name forever.

Xanadu has moved on, i highly doubt it will return to PA.

You know less than I do

[WhiteSnake]

hehe... this is easy

We have no alliance atm. Only groups of homeless players putting their clothes together.

I wonder if tons of you here wouldn't apply to Xanadu, a real alliance, with the better structure of web & IRC we've seen.

I wonder which alliance wouldn't want to be friendly to Xanadu.

IMHO, Xan is expanding to other games... why leave one behind? A game that Xanadu 0wned and will keep 0wning. Some people leave, some people join, thats since round 4.

Planetarion isn't dead, so isn't Xanadu.

[Thekar]

if planetarion makes it (more than 12k players(MY OPINION)) then xanadu will prolly make it too


(what i say is my opinion, nothing officially ofc)

[Terminator2003]

When Xanadu dissolved their was talk about continuing the alliance as it was, with webby and wings. However, the HC at that time did not want the alliance without them to continue with the name 'Xanadu'. As the leaving HC and remaining officers and members did not reach any agreement all of the wings left Xanadu and it disbanded fully.

What makes you think that you have the right to trample over the bodies of the old HC and disrespect their wishes, and reinstate a (fake) Xanadu again.

I will believe and respect a Xanadu if I see here posts by

Sastul
Grim
Olrik

That they support this idea and will be part of the new Xanadu.

Anything else is a scam and a disgrace of the name Xanadu.

Name your new alliance

'Xanaducorp' or whatever, but not Xanadu

ps. I mean no disrespect to TheKar, who only became HC in Xanadu somewhere around round 7, or other people like WS, who was Wing HC if I am correct, or xtothez, who was Xanadu wing officer I believe (not sure about that one), but please, don't make the mistake you are contemplating on makeing ok? Start a new alliance, make it rock, make it forget Xanadu, but don't be cheap trying to thrive on something that was once great.. there will never be the Xanadu like it was, with the wings, with the HC, with the same members.. but something new.. so name it new.. dont misuse the name of a once great alliance

Sastul and Grim had little influence during the time Xanadu was disbanded. It was mostly in zip's hands. Grim was busy with graduating and Sastul busy with work I believe. Infact, had they been a bit more involved, I doubt Xanadu would have disbanded

I had plans to continue after the disbanding. I never asked about changing the name, but it would have been called FOX (Friends of Xanadu... and clever as a fox ) very likely. Just that I came with a different formula, an unproven formula, so didn't want to take the chance to discredit Xanadu's name. At that time it wasn't doable really


Honestly, if zip and I decide to restart it we don't need some sort of public support. Sas and Grim know us, respect us and trust us. (Heh, I've been involved with Xanadu since r1 (and before that as well actually - longest lasting Xanadu person in PA \o/)).
I have as much a say in this as Grim or Sastul for that matter, let alone Olrik. They know that if there's one person who doesn't like to see Xanadu's name/reputation 'hurt', it'd be me. hehe


If Xanadu comes back, it will definately not be a fake. But with a proven formula, and with some good old core players. There's plenty of them around who would instantly leave their current alliance(s) to join Xanadu

hehe... I am not starting any alliance m8. I am Seraphim now, we're developing a new work there, improving day by day. Its been exciting like that. I'm only here exposing my opinion about Xanadu.

By the way: Sastul and Grim last played in round 6. Round 7 they disappeared, and I was in there to see. Olrik, afaik, had some problems inside Xanadu about Bull, and well... anyway, we all that fought to keep Xanadu in top for a long time, even when we saw it was falling and we kept our asses there to work, diserve to say what we want, because Xanadu isn't made by the HC's only. Xanadu wouldn't be anything without members that were in there since round 5 when NoCeX got bashed to the bone, and kept their asses in there fighting.

Its hard for many people to understand that spirit. To lose and keep fighting for a thing they love and believe, a community. The only place in PA (and as you guys can see, I've been in many places) I've seen such things happening was Xanadu. And that's Xanadu's spirit, and that's why I believe that anytime Xanadu comes back to PA, their members will come back and Xanadu will rock for another round.

[StDomingo]

Oi...might make my choice to play or not to play that much easier
