It wasn't for you. It was for the other person that wanted to have a conversation that had nothing to do with the the topic of the thread that did recognize several of the names.

Those many, many, many more problems were all things that contributed to the initial problem. You can't fix a problem without addressing what caused it, so this is a bit redundant. Thrive is going to be subjective on rp/night clubs given that they were able to cap buildings before DC Travel even existed in the game as well as Balmung existing and having its entire reputation well before DC Travel. Raiding was killed on 3 data centers for the sake of Aether so thriving isn't an argument there. You're going to need to give an example of thriving that doesn't involve the possibility of people dogpiling on one world/data center.
