First, I want to thank for the repair of the titles, good work. Yet, I would ask to reconsider the axing of practically all old event titles. If there are serious technical obstacles to restore them, it would be sad, but would have to be accepted.
Yet, from the point of view of roleplay, coherence, and long term motivation, removal of historical event titles is a loss and damaging. Not few players loved their titles, demonstrated by frequently wearing them. They invited communication, with newcomers as well as with returnees, about the meaning, and revived pleasant memories. Not few players will feel sad by losing those titles.
I do not speak about recurrent ones, such as story teller. It was always the case that this title lasted for 6 months or so. Only, in the past we normally had at least 3 story telling events per year, one at Atysmas, one at Refugee Day (Easter), and one around Anlor Winn events. So, for creative contributors, this title could be sustained as well.
So, I would plead for reconsidering the deletion of the historically won event titles, at least those since the merge.
