Catastrophic Suggestion, Perhaps

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.
