Tired of a Dead Server

I can't answer that because I don't think it's true. Or maybe you just lack confidence in your own ideas or just don't think the server can be revived at all- I really don't know.
I think you and plenty of other people can figure out ways to revive GK (remember, even when GK was "alive", it wasn't perfect- it's always had problems. But now it's just ridiculous).
The only problem is that it's not your (you and everyone else who I believe could do it) role to implement such ideas.
Plenty of people have ideas on how things can be fixed, and while they may disagree with one another, even the opposing ideas could each be a "solution". (For example, Bosh's proposed solutions may differ, and even oppose Ed's ideas, but they both drew out some pretty good plans which could quite possibly gain activity again)
After such ideas being implemented, the game may still be full of flaws, but when there's plenty of people playing again, at least it's "revived".

At least that's my vision of a possible, not too ambitious future.

Anyways, what I'm saying is, I don't think it's too hard to get the game at least steadily active again. I just think it's not being done.

It mostly has to do with my experiences trying to revive 2K1. We tried new updates, new ways of making money, re-releasing old items that had fallen out of circulation, resetting and moving the server to classic, etc. and none of it worked. Graal Classic (Adventure) tried some similar strategies and they didn't work either.

I think massive rebalances and exp/money reset could do it, but everyone has a different idea of how to fix it, and even more: there is noone to fix it atm, as björn is inactive and tig has no rights to do most things, which just results out of björns paranoia fearing a coup d' etat.

But I think that all people agree with me that something has to be done finally, if not by björn, then by stefan, tig or someone else.
