Backstory to Zone

[BboyEatsbacon]

Alright, so here's the deal.

As a developer of Zone iPhone, I'm going to try to not stray from Zone PC tradition as I form new updates, so what's the story with Zone?

What was it's fall? What kind of updates did it have? Why is it so bad now compared to say, 04-05, that makes it unplayable to the point where none of the community logs in? What did everyone absolutely love about Zone?

If someone could compile a short story of Zone's history, it's falls, and everything else, it would be great. I know this is a lot to ask for, but I'd like some sort of a "resource" to follow when I'm creating a new update to spill out onto the iPhone server.

Thanks and much appreciated,
