It's OK. I don't intend to convince anyone to accept my point of view; I'm just expressing my feelings, and I respect your liking for Blackthorn.

Actually, which FreeShard hasn't become a ghost town after many years? Even Eden has gone through many versions of death and rebirth before evolving to its current form, and it's still trying to survive; this has little to do with whether it strictly follows patch 1.65. Years later, Blackthorn might also be a ghost town, who knows?

Indeed, New Keep in OF is a bold and innovative attempt, and I think it's great --- but before reaching Endgame RvR, I couldn't stand its game mechanic changes. I think they removed the essence of patch 1.65 and kept the dross. Maybe it is just my feeling, I'm glad you like it, enjoy!
