Tired of a Dead Server

[Darklux]

Now its out, I think the time has finally come to tell this forum my opinion about gk:

The officials should do something about it, or quit the server.

For weeks, there is nothing up, hardly events, no updates, no players, and I even think that some players have taken the inactivity as reason to quit forever.

The membercount is already low enough, something should be done about it.

Okay Björn is graduating, but in general only few things happened in the last months, if you ignore the activity due christmas.

Furthermore, eastern is in a couple of days, and nothing is going on debug to even provide a small action for eastern.

For myself, iam lat on debug, okay, but nowadays noone is really willing to provide gfx to a dead game which makes it hard to work on anything innovative.


In a nutshell: What the hell is up? Is gk dropped, or just died by itself?
Something has to be done or large part of the playerbase will be lost forever.

I haven't been playing. Seriously considering quitting. Every time I log on now I step outside trade, look around and log off. I can't host events because I have no prizes. I really don't care about the playercount. There's just not really anything fun to do that I haven't done 100s of times already.

Yeah, likely because noone except björn can really add anything.

Okay he is graduating, but thats no excuse, as it just would have been possible to install a replace until björn has finished has school graduation (e.g. Dan from Zone or Tig).

Afaik this was not done because björn fears conspirators would take over his position, and likely ignores that this just results out of the unhappiness of the players too.

Same for me..There's not much to do when no one's on and its boring to do the same thing over and over again. So i basically gave up until something happens.

I'm supposed to have my own prizes. I could just event off all my gear and quit. Maybe that would spark some playercount.

Just keep a record of who won and let them know that you will pass the info along to maroku to be dealt with.

This can't be helped at the moment as bjorns uber busy irl so we can't get refills.

Heh want to see how sad GK is. I took this at 12:17 pm Canadian central standard time (see screenshot below).

Yeah I been on zone a lot but playcounts been pretty crappy when I have been on so I haven't seen a need to host.

I still have my EM prize bag with several prizes in it... lmao...

One thing I always hated about GK is how hard it is to learn how to do everything. If you don't have any talented friends in GK your going to have one hell of a time learning to play.

And I'm pretty sure Bjorn has said to do so also...

Say "No."

I was just telling you that your previous statement of "Nobody is telling you to develop" is wrong.

Nowhere did in my post did I say that I cannot figure out how to respond when they're telling us to develop instead of complain.

Do you try to patch up the rags on the emergency room on debug?
I hope you can reach something, though I don't really believe it.

Good luck.

GK's Average Playercount is now 5, while Zone is nearly on 20, Era slightly above 40, Zodiac slightly above 50.

If you're tired of the server just leave.
