What could attract people on Zone...

More updates, a good game got a weekly update, Zone got a monthly...

And some more event hosting would be good!

@Jasper: If you think logically that's not how playercount would grow, that's how you maintain playercount.
To make the playercount grow either advertise or hope more people spread it through mouth.

yes... grow up is for a long period. not only during 1 event...

More hosting = more fun, more fun = more players.

yes but players stay for event, and after it, they go back...
We need an average of 25 or 30 players... i think
not an average of 10

Events, especially good ones hosted at the right time boost the playercount. Jesse knows this. But Events cant be keeping zone alive.... they're just temporary.

I'd suggest more achivments.

Yeah my holiday idea.

And I also tough of some achievements. God that would be great. I would like to see something COD'ish... Like:

Get 175kills with X weapon.
Once done, you can unlock something like + Accuracy(precision), Faster Reloads, or stuff like this.

This would be insane. Just.. Insane.

updates, maybe give some incentive to actually play again (like lowered subscription price)

You just say "moar events", but as I recall when zone started hosting alot more, the community and the player count dropped. I remember playing 6 months without a event, I kept playing to try and WIN a event.
