I'm sure there is a richer more interesting story, but what I would say goes something like this....

Once upon a time there was WGO.
Certain members started making up their own rules and tried taking over things like teamspeak
WGO support cracked down and put an end to the "making up rules" bit
Certain members didn't like the fact that they weren't as powerful as they thought they were (or should be)
Certain members split off to form GMRZ where they could make their own rules.
WGO key financial contributors decided they didn't want to keep paying for Star Wars...they want to focus on Battlefield games
SWGO was born to keep alive the Star Wars Battlefront servers/group/community
WGO carries on doing the Battlefield thing, SWGO carries on doing the Star Wars thing, GMRZ carries on doing their thing...

I'm sure there are more colorful histories...but that is it in a nutshell from where I sit....

IF you mean why SWGO do not have No-Force server, we used to have a few times, but it wasn't succesful.
At the time there were different more popular No-Force servers like GFAQ's Community Server, Noobgrinder or HiddenArrows
Just about lately when all those servers went down for good, the GMRZ No-Force started to become popular, eventually passing the top 40 mark :lol:
Since both our servers are in Top 6, why should we invest more money in a lost cause ?
