I played in INT and now in Nexus - universes with no speed bonuses. In my opinion, I played very hard and efficient, and up to now the SI-team has made the changes in SI the wise way. Up to now, but there is always a question for the future.
Players from other (speed) universes, having better statistics than me, comming to "my" universe again, after the merge of the 3 unis, will be a true and very hard test for my loyalty to SI !!
