What Zone needs...

What Zone needs is a complete overhaul.
inb4 thread deletion
Zone needs to be removed from the list, and the current team needs to be removed. They've given nothing to show that their abilities can help Zone. A team that actually wants to improve Zone and can actually do it needs to step in. I'm glad the current team is doing what they can, but it's not enough. Not to mention the restrictions that are put on the managers of the server to point where it's not really their server to manage.

Zone needs to revert back before the Gelat shop, everything that was once in the in-game shop be put back in and put in things that don't really impact gameplay put into the shop.

Zone is probably one of the most unique server's Graal has put forth, and it's very sad to see how it gets treated as some test animal. It was the first with the iPhone, gelat shop, and observer mode.

What Zone really needs is someone who actually cares and have the ability to improve the server. Only person that I've seen that has that ability, and seems to have done some good is Gambet.

I don't know much about Gambet, only know that he was pushed away by SN and the restrictions put on managers drove him away.

Agree with all that's up there. Zone used to be the server with the best gameplay by far (at least that's what I thought). Now it seems all we have to offer are horrible managers, who think they know what they're fooling around with on the server. But really they don't have a ****ing clue what they're doing. The only thing I see Powerpro doing is adding unfinished weapons and copying past managers. If you're completely lost and have no clue what you're messing around with, the least you could do is ask your players what they do and don't want to see implemented on the server.

You're also not helping Zone by hiring anybody on your friends list without an application, and giving them an instant ET tag, while letting others get away with spawning weapons for themselves.

Zone had gameplay? :P zone is just a domination type event that repeats constantly.
What zone need is monsters that will splat when you shoot them (because thats fun and slime everywhere is cool),
space ships that lets you attack from air and maybe fly to other planets (I guess zone would be better of in 3d so you could actually fly or maybe 2d mix with 3d? xD)
dungeons (old stuff from the past like underground buildings), caves, quests and objectives like lets say you need to gather resources for your team so you can build a reaper or w/e but the cave that contains that resource is filled with awesome monsters and stuff like that. just some random ideas.

Sounds pretty lame tbh. I'd rather just be sparring skilled players, than hunting down monsters

As for the spaceships, Zone has speeders which is close enough (not really) but I don't think space battles would really entertain people, since most people prefer 1v1 battles or team battles using actual weapons.

Quests would be okay I guess, but I really can't see that happening on Zone. But then again Zone has provided nothing more than random updates lately, so expect the unexpected

Personally, I'd think Zone would be a LOT more fun with an economy. If it was a futuristic version of Graal Kingdoms (not to the core, just the basis), that you had gear and upgrades and possible leveling of your weapon skills (as in pistol levels, rife levels, special weapon levels) and a very guild-based server setting, it'd be a lot better.

Theres really no reason for me to idle on Zone, it's just waiting for the next fight... which is really not much fun either. There HAS to be something to work towards, and currently being on Zone with the payment system your time is only running out on your prized guns.

Zone really shouldn't have an economy from really lack of ways to gain money besides killing and not alot of people are playing, but the leveling system I'd be interested in for weapons. Increase damage, reduce freeze. Things like that I'd like to see in it.

I'd love to see guild-based events take over but it needs a developmental team that actually will work towards this and not random mp3 players.

The players have already shown that they cannot handle an economy in the past. Now I'm hearing they might start doing perm weapon auctions, which will bring Zone an economy, but will also attract USD punks like ddc.
