Tired of a Dead Server

[Stephen]

What I really love is how people will piss and moan about the server being dead, but when they're asked what they want the best they can come up with is "new stuff!" And if hey can one-better that, which is rare - it's "new monsters LOL"...


It's too easy to complain, the server would hardly be dead if any of you cared half as much as you act. When something is broken there's always a very specific reason, or a collection of specific reasons - it's not just "broken"... and GK is no different.

Its not that the problems are a secret, aren't they?

Nothing to do, odd ways to level, broken gameplay and economy. Some patches won't do it rather a good makeover.

If they're so obvious, why can't anyone put a finger on the specifics? And why is it that, when someone takes the time and effort to do it - they get ignored.

I'm referring to Ed, here.

It would still be dead. The existence of action doesn't guarantee a server's survival. When 2K1 was dying, just about everything was tried (new features, new events, new monsters, reset, etc.) and it didn't do a thing. If you want to see if an idea has potential, ask yourself what reasons a player has to play 2K2 instead of Zodiac, and then see if that idea adds to that list in a meaningful way.

My statement stands true in itself. If players were more interested in helping and less in complaining they would be occupied, so much so that they probably wouldn't leave because "there's nothing to do".

Occupied doing what? Playing the server? We're talking about a group of around 10 forumgoers, most of whom actually do play the server. Developing? Even if it were possible, development in and of itself accomplishes very little.
