Base 1 was a war zone, and I don't think I need to describe how it was. People used the base to it's full potential; they set up mines, some hid in the bunker (including medics waiting for the wave of enemies to go away), and other surrounded both the base and the base's roof.

They did all this because they WANTED those bases, and keeping base 1 almost always ensured victory.
Sorry to say, but that was years ago. Gelats didn't exist then, so the amount of people having jetpacks wasn't such an incredibly high amount. People don't want bases anymore because "winning" on Iricia doesn't give a really great reward, compared to spawn camping.

That's great, but once the "events" are done, they go right back to spawn camping. Unless you want this to be a constant thing, I don't see how it will work. Even if it became constant, it'll end up being abused sooner or later.

You go boom.
The objective is to get people to take bases rather than spawn camp, not trying to discourage them from playing the game itself.

Tough. It's the Online Gaming generation that Zone got from trying to be more public, which caused it to attract the wrong crowd.
