You did just answered your own question. They've always been a dumb name, we are fixing the mistakes in Zones history. Their dumb name is a mistake ;P.

I noticed Zone can still reach a steady ammount of players when Me, Shadow, Stormy, Boing were on there for a good 2-3 hours and brought in about 30 players. However, when we left, it all went downhill and Zone eventually died again.

I wouldn't really decide to play Zone ever again for a long period of time unless my old friends the used to play, but most likely quit Graal itself, decide to somehow magically appear on Zone again. What Jesse said is right, some those things would of been nice back than to improve Zone, but what's done is done.

I don't think you can really go back to try and please the older players when you should try to attract new ones.

Pretty much, I just don't see a point in any of the old players coming back unless their friends do too. Any new player wouldn't really know of this stuff and we try just to enjoy the game itself. Don't reset, those are goals for newbies.

Zone itself isn't too "Newb Friendly" if you know what I mean. That can be improved on. Anyhow, attracting and maintaining new players is what Zone should be doing, atleast that's how I view it.

Barely anyone plays. Would it make any difference besides to your online ego?


I've actually brought up the issue of hacking, we just need to know how these people are hacking (what they're actually changing) to prevent it. We're working up a list and Gambet (or Stefan) will then work on it.
The server is (probably) running as fast as it can, it is probably just the lag from your computer to the server and back that may make it seem like it's being "slow".

I worked hard for my stats and I want to keep them.

Forum PM me about the hacking novice

It's not about that though.. It's about if most Zone players didn't just lame anyone new, and actually fought their friends and such things could be fun and bring some players along.

make zone a pvp AND pve server.

[jkool666]

FYI, I'm not suggesting we try to get old players back in this idea.

You didn't work that hard for YOUR statistics, newbie lol.

A player-reset on a server that has no players doesn't do much harm. Especially if your willing to offer the players your resetting new mixed with old, fun, balanced gameplay.

Removing the weaps is a stupid idea, your just deleting all the stuff staff worked hard on.

Having an expanded arsenal isn't always for the best. Just look at what it did to Era.

They didn't work that hard on it is the problem, other then the GFX. Theres no balance at all in the weapon system on Zone. Currently 8/10 (approx) of the weapons are rendered useless on the ex-most popular planet, Iricia.
Classes are also useless in many more cases then they could be.

How knowledged are you in the weapons on Zone now vs before the introduction to several of the weapons listed? Have you experienced the gameplay with these weapons recently?

Hey. If Jkool posted every zone weapon script of the new weapons, they would be identical. With a few different classes (ammo types, clip sizes, energy usage) and all that.
