Frolic

I have started to lose interest in owning this server. When it had about 20+ players it was fun but now it usually just has the NPCServer on. I enjoy making things for people, but lately when I make something, nobody gets to see it. I can't figure out what to do, so I'm asking everyone on the forums. Please post what you chose, so I can know who thinks what.

leave it up . I enjoy it sometimes there. Its aiight. Just keep updating and hire a better level administrator and you'll have a good pw . As for you getting bored.. just hang in their. Im sure if you do some original.. not that ur not original now.. but if u do something good/never been done before im sure it will attract more people .

I used to play it but the fact is there is nothing to do. You can only play the ball game so long before you get bored. With out quests or more than just the tiny island it gets really boring. I would at least concentrate on a decent overworld before calling it quits.

If you just silently work on playerworlds then theyll still be empty after months of work.
When theres less than 5 people on all the time people think its empty so they dont go there. Then more people do the same. Then because everyone does that the server never gets more people and therefore remains near the bottom of the playerlist with a few players forever.

When you make some big changes tell people about it. If you have greatly improved vast ammounts then tell people.

The sooner more players start coming then even more will come and the pw should start to become more popular, depending on how good it is.

The reason we don't work on levels is because when the new tileset is done, nothing will look right, the house tiles won't be in the same place and such.

How long have you been waiting for the tile set? I mean have you seen actual work being done on it? If it's been a long time I'd say fire the graphics team get a new one work on temporary levels until then. Put up quests they can always be retiled later.

The person who is making the tileset happens to be the Co-Owner and so far, I have no Graphics Team.

What do you mean? It should be easier for the beastling to PK if they have the "beastling bow" since it does steal the persons life and adds it to their own.

Well, if I decide to leave it up, I'll probably do a complete staff wipe and rehire only dedicated people. I wouldn't mind getting it put into a private server so I could create stuff in privacy.

I think I'm going to try and hire a good levels team to start developing a nice Overworld and make some quests to keep people interested.

Hmm, you could try starting fresh maybe using same systems diff storyline.. And waiting untill you have a huge overworld with numerous quests, then open it up as New Frolic or something.. I dunno just an idea.

Keep working on it. Don't give it to 'trusted' staff, that'll just cause a bunch of conflicts.

Well, the number of players has gone down lately with the account changes and everything, to put it bluntly, there's not enough players, or developers to go arround. Alot of other playerworlds could use someone with your skill, and if you think you'd be happier working for another server it would probably be the best thing to do.

More playerworlds will be coming down before new ones get up, unless we get more players... it's not fair to playerworld managers to work to run a playerworld, when there's only enough players for each playerworld to have 10 or so players at peek times if they all had equal numbers... Personaly, I would like to se us get down to about 10 good playerworlds until we get more players.
