Backstory to Zone

[Admins]

You know that Zone is actually free to play? There is no observer mode or anything like that. It was a first try of free-to-play, and the player number didn't really decrease because of items, it was just not attracting the player base. Zodiac and Era have more persistency and content for players who don't want to play events all the time.

You made it free-to-play after you killed it with P2P restrictions that we all told you not to do. Even now you have to deal with some restrictions (squadleader) and cash still buys good guns. Non-P2P players still can't even wear guild tags or mass message (because they're considered trials).

Zone could try to go off the playerlist for a while and comeback as a Classic server to get some players, but I don't know if that's likely to do anything at this point.

Zone was never about events, it was about constant action. Can't have that without players, and now that they're gone...well...you're better off replacing Zone with iZone.

Zone went F2P after you already destroyed it. The reason why it couldn't keep a playerbase was because the direction you pushed Zone in was stupid.

Trials can win event items for 15 days (half the time) and everyone has 100hp.

Stefan doesn't seem to care about the zone client regardless it's just all izone.
