If Zone has no playcount like you've said, how is it getting increasingly poor?

-Redaction of permanent basic weapons/items such as Jet-pack
I'd prefer it to be left on the Grelat shop, might make the runner's mom's decide to say No for once in their lives.
Quote:
-Removal of "laming" and "game breaking" options that some people did not favor
Start small, work your way up. I'd rather not come back to the same Zone just with new ways to lame people.
Quote:
-New Worlds
See above.

Quote:
These are all great, if you had an active player-base. But Zone doesn't. It has a 0-7 player count at all times, topping at 20 when people who play on other servers feel like getting a nostalgia high or seeing what it is. And if anyone does want to join, the completely unfriendliness to beginners/trials immediately puts them off. To be honest, if I didn't have my old stats and history with this game, I would never even sign on anymore.
They are all great, reguardless of playercount or not. Yes, old stats makes people stay.

Quote:
I have read tons of threads with the same "bring back perm weapons/temp guilds etc etc" but it remains the same.
No, really?

Quote:
Its just idiocy to keep features that NEED A PLAYER POPULATION TO ACTUALLY WORK OUT, on a empty server.
Really now? cause I totally wanna come back and just see new ways to lame people! Shut up.

Quote:
-Make the basic rifles (red/blue) and jet-pack permanent for zone cash. If you new players have items permanently, maybe they'll stick around to USE THEM.
Both of them suck now compared to what's in the Grelat shop, the point of adding them back in the shop is nothing.

Quote:
-Bring back cookies. I don't care if they're abused, not every beginner is as good as you or me. The best game times I ever had were times I stayed alive for longer periods. No one likes trekking back to the same spot to just die over and over. This is why games have healing.
Easy way to fix that, get better.

Quote:
-Hotkeys Hotkeys Hotkeys! These should be standard for everyone. Its a game staple, it may make abuse easier, but its dumb not to have them. It shouldn't be a pay factor. Never. If you want it to be a P2P service, make it free to all but enhance it for payers.
No. Hotkeys. Ever. They shouldn't of EVER been added to Zone.

Quote:
-Gelat items should be permanent. Or at least last as long as your account does. Micro-transactions aren't amazing. If I a gold subscription, you shouldn't be making me pay more.
No. They want to make a profit, making everything perm isn't going to make them money considering only the same people play Zone.
Quote:
-Gold Accounts get free gelat items. Like 5 per however many months they pay for. Since Gelats are spread out between the entire game, this would save them Gelats to use on GK or another server.
So you want gold with free perm weapons? Yeah, we're not trying to make this game too easy.
Quote:
-Back to basic. Remove worlds that never get played. Instead, refine work on your best maps "Iricia + Deathmatch" and wait for players to rise. Not only will this stop the paper thin player count from spreading themselves even farther out in-game, but as players grow, its good way to "re-add" new content to give players something new.
They somewhat tried this with CTF by making it smaller. Lasted less than a week.
