I am very unhappy. I was not going to join Infinity, because I'd already invested a lot into the gains on my mains on Novus, but I could see how quickly infinity players were gaining skills, so I took the plunge. I went all in. I spent loads of real cash on items from the shop and deeds to set up for a good year on this skilling server. I invested a month of my time on this server, ramping up my mains and alts, to eventually replace the 6 months or so I'd done with my original crew of characters. I recruited friends to come here to do the same and they also have invested their time and real cash on this server. Now out of the blue, you just pull the plug on the only reason to come here in the first place. Poof! All gone. I thought this server cluster was a safe place from choices like this.
I think you will find I am not the only one that is going to be incredibly frustrated with this snap decision. We were promised this server would be here for 1 year and now it's all like a bad April Fools joke.
I would strongly suggest NOT killing the hybrid skill system on Infinity, as this was in place when it started and what you advertised to lure players here. Yes, you may have some people on the original servers complaining. But you made the choice to launch the server with those parameters and to simply pull the rug out after people have invested so much into it is unthinkable.
I don't know how I'm going to break this to my friends. They are going to hate me for dragging them into this and all the time they just wasted here. That part is so much worse than the time and $600 bucks or so that I spent on this server.

Maybe it would not hurt to ask players ingame what their thoughts are? I imagine forums here are just like WO forums, where only a few loud people use them (like me). Forum feedback is almost always going to be leaning to the long time player crowd.
It's been a couple of hours now for me. I have my Infinity character loaded up and just standing there, not knowing what I'm supposed to do with it. My character development hasn't caught up to my Novus main, so it is now just a spare alt for... I dunno. I was going to replace my original characters on Novus with these new ones and spend a year working on them to make it worth while. I like the grind. I like maximizing skill gains. But now it all seems pointless to continue.
Just please consider not abandoning the skill system without talking to the players on Infinity first. The people that went there to enjoy what you had created.

Hybrid skillgain is not gone forever. Sorry for the miscommunication. I will try to bring it back end of next week.
The main problem was that I just heard complaints from all directions and had no information that other players are very happy with the skillgain.
