Fixing broken scripts, removing abusive tools and useless weapons wouldn't hurt. Converting to gs2 would be a major undertaking and really is a necessity but the server has now been uploaded to dev so the team should be able to address some of these issues without interrupting main too badly.

I agree completely. UN was never meant to be anything specific. I mean, if you go on, we have cars with guns with swords with so many things. Many people enjoy that fact.

Do I think UN's perfect? No, not at all. I've been saying for a long time things need to be fixed. A new OW? Not needed. They did it once only recently, so why just do it again?

There are fixes that need to be addressed as Bell says, I just don't think pretty tiles is that.

Maybe not a brand new overworld, but cleaning it up and condensing it sure would be a plus.

Even tho i've feel you've taken a grudge against backdraft cuz he replaced streety, i must agree, a forum active manager would be nice.

He's more apt to post on UN's forum in game. I've seen him post a few times.

Even better, talk to him. He's working on quite a bit.

un has to figure out what it is before it can "fix" itself

people are throwing the word economy left and right without realizing that this server wasn't intended to have one. not only that but the events system itself has spawned it's own currency which is never really good. =/

UN used to be pretty economy centered when there wasnt a **** ton of hats and ridiculous NPC's.

it's nothing personal, BD is a good guy. but yes, an active forum manager would be great, as i have reason to believe that streety would have already made a response to this type of thread

that's missing the point. i don't post on the in-game forums, so how does his posting there help me at all? i, and anyone else who is interested, shouldn't have to personally ask him when he's capable of posting about it for the world to view

Guuuuuys it's been two WEEEEEEEEKS. COME OOOOONNNNNN WHY ISN'T THE SERVER FIIIIIIXXXXEEEDDD.

It'd help if BD wasn't at the mercy of a totally incompetent staff team full of people who haven't worked in the last 6 months.

yea because we're asking them to "fix" the entire server in this thread, right?

BD hasn't said a single thing about his new plan, so our discussing it doesn't mean jack, nor is it the purpose of this thread that we discuss it: it's for BD to tell us what his plans are

so.

We'll be having an Easter Egg hunt this Sunday at the egg shop next to Castlewars. It will last for a week until Sunday April 11th.

Castlewars is being renovated right now to make it more interesting for players. It will include some sort of reward for the current castle holders plus some "new" features to make it more interesting when capturing/defending.

City Hall should be done within the end of the weekend. It will include separate levels for each staff position along with descriptions and some other interesting features.

I'll post about my long term plans when the above projects are finished and I can lay out details with my staff.
