What is there on the server now besides events that brings people on? I was handed a wasteland and am doing what I can to get in going again. I have gotten lots of requests to get my hands on these backups, but at the time Rebirth was looking promising with the deadline that me and Abjorn set.

N-Pulse was always behind it's time with poor management. N-Pulse used to have a frequent playercount of 60 players, below UN, but still good enough to enjoy the server. However, as time went on, the server didn't make any new updates or create any new events so players started to move to UN. Therefore, i'm wondering what you're going to do to start getting players back since quests won't achieve anything.

Quests are only good for a quick 10 minute thing, and then you're done and you never have to do it again since their is no point.
You will actually be surprised how many players go onto servers JUST to do quests. And if you think quests only take 10 minutes obviously it has been awhile since you have done an N-Pulse quest.

But my main question, the same as jerrets, is "What will you offer that UN isn't already?"
Figured that was implied with the original post about bringing back old N-Pulse. Once the 1st release is done there will be updates done on a regular basis, this would include events as well as quests, items, etc... I am not willing to make the mistakes of past management that got N-Pulse into the state it's in. And with my answer earlier, I have gotten many requests to do this, but wanted to hold off because of the promise that was shown in getting Rebirth off the ground in a timely fashion.

PS: I'm not faulting you for getting rid of Rebirth since I honestly never saw it as something that could be completed in the first place.
Rebirth hasn't been gotten rid of, simply put onto the back burner because it is not realistic at this point in time to get completed.
