Server transfers were the worst thing to happen to this game

I know my old alliance members moved on to be more competitive but now our alliance is dead. Almost half of our members left. It isn’t fun anymore. I just hate how overnight the game completely changed for me and my other alliance members that stayed on our server and alliance. I’m just at a loss, and no one in my current alliance is making any moves to merge with another or a plan to continue. I was mainly f2p but I have spent a little money over the past year. I’m just defeated. I should have left, but it seemed like a lot of trouble to kinda start over with new people. Sorry for the complaints, I just needed to get this off my chest.

EDIT: While I appreciate those saying to change servers, that can no longer happen because applications are closed and I’m stuck. I can no longer transfer.
