Periods of Inactivity

There were several great periods of inactivity in the history of Bloodfin.

The record starts in 2007 at the end of summer; by September, most of the guilds active in June are dead. Bulata's Special Forces , a guild founded in the summer of 2007 as the Sacred Freedom Underground  , would survive through the inactive period because it did not disband, but remained entirely inactive. When its leader Imotah Omedoi  returned, leadership was transferred to his new alt, Bulatah Mytia , and the guild was renamed 'Dukes of Freedom '. All those who returned or remained from the old guild of the summer would be forever referred to by Bulatah as "everlasters ", like Quent Starflame.

In 2009 came about one of the biggest periods of inactivity yet. In August, the Sapian Imperial Republic  and PHNIX were at the height of their Cold War conflict; they were getting closer and closer to all-out war. However, when September came about, both guilds became very inactive. Though PHNIX fell apart primarily due to its own inner conflict between leaders Akask and Dobam Dustrider, SlR was seriously affected by the server inactivity, so much so, in fact, that King Bulatah decided to quit and come back later. He gave his throne to a steward, Vladislaus Dracula, who kept SlR around unil Bulatah's return in October.

In 2010  came the greatest inactivity period perhaps in the entire history of Bloodfin. During winter came a quick burst of activity, but following it was the deepest drop. It was so deep a drop that it would begin SWG's consideration and final decision to shut down SWG for good in 2011 (free server transfers were soon to be introduced). The history of Sapian, for instance, stops in 2010 after its last attempt through SIRE. Sapian was truly at the height of its maturity, and could have seriously attained the effective state it had always been savoring, but the server just couldn't provide enough people to make up the context of a nation. It was forced to merge into Dark Side Warriors  just to stay alive, forming the DsW-SIRE Confederation. After doing so, it lasted long enough with a few active roleplayers, but everything would fade away eventually.
