Friends,

You are all true symbols of Equinox. Despite all the strife and all the time that has passed, you still come here at the first mention of something stirring--you still come home. Since you are all conveniently here, I have something to say, and I sincerely hope you will take the time to read and to think about it. Equinox was the greatest region most, if not all, of us ever took part in. That much we can all agree upon based on the history we have each taken some part, big or small, in shaping. The rest of what I have prepared comes from my heart, and it is notably less reliable a source than our experiences. Nonetheless, I will share my thoughts.

Equinox is the result of years of failure, argument, and problems. Through all things that were placed in our path, we prevailed as a group, whether or not we wanted to be included in a group with those around us at the time. I long for the best things of Equinox to return: the culture, the guilds, and the tight-knit, small-town feel of the commons areas. We forged a community of unbelievable strength and vibrancy, and I firmly believe that community lives on inside each of us. I believe that dormant Equinox needs to be awakened, and I believe the time for that is now.

I would like to suggest, in light of my feelings, that we restart this region where we left off. I would like to put everyone back to citizenship and to allow new guilds to be created. I would like to concentrate every effort on revivifying the thriving cultural areas of this forum and to keep from forgetting that this is not a political region. I would like to bring back the fun we miss and to forge a new future for this region. And I would like to be the person to lead that charge.

Some of you may not like me, but I urge you to put that all in the past. Yesterday is gone, and together we can make the Equinox of tomorrow brighter than she's ever been. So if you think as I think, if you feel as I feel, join me, and let's reintroduce the world to the Land Between the Sun and the Moon.

Thanks for reading.

OMFG.

Im down. I think we have all matured and realized how special Equinox really was to us all.

Are you thinking Governments again Hadi, or just the guilds, and culture stuff?

Obviously, we'd need to have a discussion about that, but I'm thinking basically skeleton government. Like just guilds and a leader and then maybe having some elected helpers, like Culture.

I don't think Equinox was ever really about government, and I don't think it should be a big part of a new Equinox.

Guilds, Culture and Leader.

Leader is the WA Delegate. Culture is ran by the guild leaders.

To be honest, I'd be fine with dictatorship if it meant avoiding all the drama. There are other regions for that.

My thinking is basically that. Every region has a niche. When they try eventually to broaden that appeal to new members, the region eventually gets watered down to mediocrity. I think that's a bit of what happened to Equinox. The region had a very unique system that eventually became a shell that housed a normal region.

So the plan is pretty much Equinox V 1.0, guilds, leader, couple of positions, but we now have the experience to KNOW that's what has worked best.
