._. You basically just outrightly said you don't have the money for the files so you're not going to try and get them any other way but to buy them which already limits your options. And you want other people to get you the files when I know for a fact several people have already attempted to do so and were turned down for a various number of reasons. You do know there is more than one or two paths to what you want to get right? Even Menoz knows where to get them and what's more BOI seems to be more popular than WOI at the moment so the question stands, what on earth are people thinking making WOI so hard to get a hold of files for? What gain is there to be had over something that's not so popular as BOI? Aside from what I said, I thought at one point I had a source who had files which I was going to point towards you guys but then that guy completely vanished off the face of the earth around mid-september. I'm sorry but I know two things. You guys aren't made of money and yet still could find a way to get files but your higher ups need to realise that compromises could've been made long before now to obtain said files and refused to because of whatever personal reasons they had. I also know that I've been scolded by Menoz himself saying that you can find anything on the web if you know where to look. If you don't know where to look, might I suggest getting someone on your team who knows where to look? I myself wouldn't have the slightest clue as to where to look but I'm certain somewhere on epvp there is someone who does. Though I must also add, I haven't seen much of an effort to obtain the files out in the open and only going through two or three people or considering the giant pricing offers you've all had isn't exploring all the options and avenues there are. Could've made an epvp post about buying CoW files by now ten times over and had some people step up and try to sell them to you, could have made a post offering some form of partnership to the server network should someone come up with legitimate files. But I haven't seen that done either. Half the effort is going to reap half the reward. There's always a way to the goal. Always. Bout time people buck up and look for it. Time for excuses is over. You guys either need the files or risk either shutting down WOI yet again or re-incarnating it yet again. Or both. -_- "Why haven't you gotten a hold of the files for us?" If I could mate I would, I've said this many a time. It's at the point where y'all either do it or you don't do it. Don't do it? Prepare for a stale nearly dead server 24/7. Do it? Prepare for population the likes of which you haven't seen since LC Devastation went live. I'm also more than aware someone wanted a cut of donations in return for the files which isn't such a bad offer considering the fact that they were offering legitimate CoW files. You guys have had multiple options to take before and refused to take them with an attitude that seemed as if you were "above selling yourselves" which you really weren't going to have to. You don't want to compromise the integrity of the product you've built for a newer sleeker better version of the files you have. Understandable and admirable as that may be it doesn't get you what you want does it? It's not a question of having someone find them for you, it's not a question of what you have to sacrifice in order to obtain them anymore. You either do it, work a deal out with one of the people who's offering them to you, or you don't do it because you're "above" whatever offers you've had. There is no other way around it. You do it or you don't do it. That's all it is at this point.
