I think they need to find a way to bring back old community people that left for other servers, or attract new people that won't start a ruckus over little details. Though that first idea seems utterly impossible. Iunno, I realy don't think zone can go back to the way it was when I first started (When zone was in it's "prime").

EDIT: Thanks MiniOne :D

xD Dan :(
Delete my msg will you !pissed!

Fine :(
Anyway
1) Community sucks
2) Laming has increased dramatically
3) Have to pay so much extra for the game
4) Weapons aren't perm anymore
5) New Lame guns.
6) Less actively of Staff
7) All the good players quit
8) Not at much skill is required
9) Clicking
10) Hotkeys

I can keep going but I'm going to go youtube instead :)

if you want a better community, try an other one. all are the same.
this one is not so bad... (of course some exeptions)

Will stay for a while, most of players like it.
It is not an obligation to pay.You can play free, but that sux. that's all xD

2 weaponswere perm 6 month ago (Pumpking and ghost thingy)
But i agree with your idea.

Lame guns for lamers. that is the link.

True, especially At the moment... exept for Donark who still host some lil daily-events

?

obviously

trial = clicking
I dont know, why it has been added to Zone; but that a total phail.

that is pretty nice.
If you dont have hotkey, be a gold member is useless.
without hotkey gold = trial+20hp

Omg. What else?
x.x

@Pico57 :
The community was a lot different a few years ago and on other servers such as Dynasty have a lot of nice players whom don't tend to insult others and tend to allow players to play.

Laming will stay since the lame community is staying and not many people like it just the people who can't do anything besides it.

Actually you feel obliged to pay since all the good classes/looks and the 20+ hp bonus is all along with gold as well as other peeks

Ya that was for one event they use to be perm all the time.

Actually lamers and lame guns have a difference, lamers can use any gun and lame though lame guns are just lame.

All the good players who had skill quit and the ones who were a great aspect of the community e.g. Huwajux, sweetchellez and so on

Hotkeys are stupid. I played ages ago and we didn't have them and the server was actually a lot better and took more skill and teamwork. Since hotkeys were added you can change guns at a simple press of a button.

Eating dinner I'll finish this later

lol @ sweetchellez. XD I so loled at that. Though I guess that group of zone did chase away idiots.
The only worse community I know of MIGHT be era.

xD That group was the best :) I loved those days but I guess the days further back were good too, though I was to young to understand half the stuff Tro was on about ><

The worse community would be Era, but Zodiac's community has started to suck too ...

Community...
WHAT COMMUNITY?
Zodiac got spammed with updates... its Not even a bit the Zodiac it was once.

Zodiac got "crashed" as they made server restart and level 60 cap.
Zone started as gelats.
Zodiac is a total desaster, just with higher playercout at all.

I dont know what I want to say with that message, but tis strange.

No way. Era is fine with it's community.

I blame Dan and the rest of cyberjouers for this madness.
Also, if you are going to complain about "Laming" than just don't get lamed, its as simple as that.

Just a simple question...why are you blaming dan?

Why not? Dan and unixmad up'd the prices of Gold didn't they?

You really need to learn how cyberjourers works. If I remember right its Unix and Stefan that take care of that detail. if I remember correctly it was Dan who was hired as a coder by cyberjourers. I don't think he has any part in the gold subscription prices.

Blame the fat man that is a "Zodiac Oldbie/Legend coughwannabecough" named James.
Zodiac is pretty much the same..Leveling, pking, blah. Are you complaining because the server had to reset to increase it's level cap?

Zone didn't start as gelats, in fact I recall before gelats I could log on and see a average people of 40 on zone. AVERAGE, if you got on at a good time, it could be around 50-60.
People going "ezkidcriplz", and wannabe gangstas, yes, it's perfectly fine.

Why would you blame james?

He cheats people out of items, apparently he "usds". He sits outside laming.

Zodiac community is bad, they just PK with they BM of EN
and after they killed someone wants to level they laugh at you ad say ez.
If you dont want to PK, for example just sit and talk to friend, OUTSIDE
theres a 60% you get attacked by some noobs think they can own with they BS and DoR

the highest playercount I've seen on Zone is around 74. and this is when Zodiac crashed :p

ZONE NEEDS MORE ACHIVMENTS. the community shoudnt be a problem at all.

Zone still had somewhat a decent community before gelats. Somewhat, it got worse as time passed. Most people either quit, or moved onto another game. it's not new generation quite yet, some people still play, just a different server.

Uhh, I remember for about 2-4 weeks there was a time when 100 people were on frequently. Not 100, but like close to it atleast.
Find a way to beat them, it's not that hard. "Get skill" or use your brain.
You realy haven't played longer enough, the community sucks. I've seen atleast 110 on zone with zodiac still up (In fact we had more people then zodiac and un). Zone needs a way to bring some players that use their brains and don't go cursing at each other cuz they lost.

It could need some more, thats right. But there are already quite a few, that aren't taken up by the most. It starts with the own goals uppon statistics goes over to various planets to enjoy and nontheless a broad wide selection of weapons to master.

James has such a history on Zodiac with breaking the rules, he shouldn't be allowed to play Zodiac ever.

There are planets some of the players have never even seen, cause everyone plays iricia, and most have seen those planets, but never where able to have a nice fight on these, cause everyone plays iricia.

The game always did consist about rather short battles, fastely done rounds of wars, as short as possibly events etc. that is exactly what made this game interesting, asides of the really more and more minimalistic events, since it doesn't rely on countless hours of grinding or missions that require some hours.

Those are definetly different games.

Sure there could be a woodcutting skill implemented, and the first to clean whole alpha map of trees and build up a wooden fortress wins the flower pot... x_x

I always tried to host at CTF, KOTH and Zone Wars...

There are so many better ideas, just not enough scripts/scripters.
Ya, ever.
Ok, what was the point of saying that, want a cookie?

Yaplz.

lol, it was regarding Dennis' post about that nobody usually plays other planets but iricia... but enyways... It's not something rlly important lol.

lol.
No good player doesn't break rules. Rog spawns, James breaks rules+spawns, etc etc.

Zone needs reset.

Ew, I don't break rules. fadge. Zone doesn't need a reset, what woudl that do? ZODIAC NEEDS A RESET

Why are all my posts that state the truth always removed? Although I didn't flame?

Anyway as I was saying the main destruction of Zone occurs through the lack of advertisement since we don't get players to fill the spots of the ones who leave due to the fact that we don't advertise enough.

I'd also like to say that Zone's community has been doing since late 06, since then its just been slowly rotting away into the crappy community we have now.

Also the lack of active ETs has caught my attention. The only ET I see online now is Donark, where have the rest of you gone?

Yes totally, agree.
Since a week or more... ther is no more ETs, events, exept, donark host some times... but actually, it is more death, that shouldnt be, moreover, player count is very low atm...

Playercount has been low for a long period of time already that's why I suggest we start setting up ads, I'd be happy to find sites to put them on though I'd need someone to make me a banner. Or a video for youtube I could spread. I guess the lack of events doesn't bother me, more the lack of staff to help ban/lock/mute people for abusing the rules is a problem I'd like to see solved.

The thread is kind of getting out of hand. Discussions about what the staffteam does wrong or whatever can be done privately with me (feel free to PM).

Closed.
