Tired of a Dead Server

[Darklux]

Now its out, I think the time has finally come to tell this forum my opinion about gk:

The officials should do something about it, or quit the server.

For weeks, there is nothing up, hardly events, no updates, no players, and I even think that some players have taken the inactivity as reason to quit forever.

The membercount is already low enough, something should be done about it.

Okay Björn is graduating, but in general only few things happened in the last months, if you ignore the activity due christmas.

Furthermore, eastern is in a couple of days, and nothing is going on debug to even provide a small action for eastern.

For myself, iam lat on debug, okay, but nowadays noone is really willing to provide gfx to a dead game which makes it hard to work on anything innovative.


In a nutshell: What the hell is up? Is gk dropped, or just died by itself?
Something has to be done or large part of the playerbase will be lost forever.

I haven't been playing. Seriously considering quitting. Every time I log on now I step outside trade, look around and log off. I can't host events because I have no prizes. I really don't care about the playercount. There's just not really anything fun to do that I haven't done 100s of times already.

Yeah, likely because noone except björn can really add anything.

Okay he is graduating, but thats no excuse, as it just would have been possible to install a replace until björn has finished has school graduation (e.g. Dan from Zone or Tig).

Afaik this was not done because björn fears conspirators would take over his position, and likely ignores that this just results out of the unhappiness of the players too.

Pat you don't need prizes to host.

Yeah I been on zone a lot but playcounts been pretty crappy when I have been on so I haven't seen a need to host.

I work (almost) daily on updates for GK. Please be patient. Don't quit.

i consider that every day.

If you're tired of the server just leave.

Hey Pat, if you need help, I'll try and make time to pop on and lend a hand on the prizes bit, but as stated, I'm heavily weighted down by school currently.

Still say the game fails. It just passes time now.

I think the decrease of players can be blamed somewhat on lack of updates, but I think what really needs to happen is GK be closed down for awhile so they can release a huge update. To bring back the playercount.

I know that sounds crazy but I have seen other games that have done this go from a playercount of 1000, to a playercount of 3000.(Not graal btw)

Over the last week or so i've not been online much because the playercount was too low.

Same for me..There's not much to do when no one's on and its boring to do the same thing over and over again. So i basically gave up until something happens.

I'm supposed to have my own prizes. I could just event off all my gear and quit. Maybe that would spark some playercount.

Do you try to patch up the rags on the emergency room on debug?
I hope you can reach something, though I don't really believe it.

Good luck.

GK's Average Playercount is now 5, while Zone is nearly on 20, Era slightly above 40, Zodiac slightly above 50.
