Yes but we have more players now... Zones playercount has been going up lately.


True, but what does this have to do with fixing Iricia?


Correct, we don't need anything, other then willing people who would discourage others from base laming is all we need ;P.

You can go around using a jet pack all day to get all the bases, and people on the other team will just take them back in the same way you just did. After that, they resume the camping routine. There are minimal rewards and fights from that, which is why it's not a good alternative to those who want to fight.

May I remind you that the playercount is not at a constant value, so people playing at different times (like if they live in different time zones and such) don't play with as many players. There might be sudden spikes, but they quickly diminish.

Iricia is a planet. Connect the dots. I know you and the other members of the staff have the creativity to deal with any problem such as this.

Discourage... by what means? You can actually fight them on the planet if you want, trying to keep them out of the base, even though it makes them want to lame even more. Dante's even tried to "cheat" to get players to stay away from the Storm Rider base when Sweep Fleet Lames them, and vice versa... Although, it's been pretty easy to avoid him.

Adding on to discouragement of spawn laming, the discouragement that people have been getting from taking the numbered bases is greater, from what I've seen. Players have been "hunted" by their own teammates that switch teams in the next round, whom make an attempt to teach the "wrong" aspects of Iricia to the usually new and poorly equiped players. These situations lead to both parties not having any fun, and it doesn't help with players getting more kills, due to the fact that they're trying to chase or run from the other one for long periods of time. I must say, though, I realized that many of the players on this server can display a great amount of effort; just in the wrong areas of playing.
