Following the fall of CoV, LoN no longer faced any serious competition on the server. Players from all crews waited tentatively to see which LoN crew would break rank to take CoV's crown as the leading PvP crew. This scenario didn't set in. Solis disbanded while LoN remained steadfast. New crews such as The Asylum or Templar rose from the ashes of CoV and Solis.

Templar maintained friendly relations with LoN and was considered an applicant member. This would ultimately prove LoN's undoing. In a surprise move, Templar declared war against BE. In response, BE called upon LoN for support in the war against Templar. Due to LoN's friendly relation with Templar, however, only EE and 13C provided assistance. The other LoN crews wanted to remain neutral.

Many citizens of BE were shocked that their allies were refusing to aid them after BE had provided aid in all past conflicts concerning their fellow LoN members. This lead to a general referendum in which it was proposed BE should leave LoN and pursue closer relations with more dependable crews. The referendum, known as BExit, passed with over three quarters of voters in favour. The resignation of the biggest crew in LoN lead to EE and 13C immediately following suit, leaving only The Xanthian Empire, Luteus Republic and Iborian Empire. These three mini crews decided to merge into one and become The Xanthian Order. Though EE ultimately changed its mind and decided to stay in LoN with TXO, the former great alliance slipped into inactivity.

In December 2016, the BE revealed the Commonwealth of Nations to the public. This union would server as a spiritual successor to LoN with more detailed guidelines to prevent internal conflict. All the old members of LoN as well as the reformed Templars agreed to enter this new alliance.
