Yes, the other divisions lose their role a lot if the dev team fails at releasing content. Besides GC anyway.
How it stands, FAQ only really have a handle of people answering questions since there are a lot less newbies and a lot less content compared to 4 years previous. Ranger is doing a good thing from what I see, by trying to get his team on focusing on the community aspect of the server, though I never asked him the specific details on what that entails.
GP is rendered nearly useless, and kind of hurts the server as well if they try to be of too much use. Since we have a low playercount, there isn't much to police, and being that the population as of current is a bit more vulgar and profane than other server's populations, if you try to overpolice, a few of classic's community members end up being jailed or banned, and that brings the community down more than them dropping f-bombs would. It's why GP is so lax on the rules as it is. I doubt Stryker wants to harm the community.
GC on the other hand, has a different part in this.
For the past four years, they have been completely frontmanning the server while the Dev Team had its problems, setbacks, and admin changes that further complicated development.
After 4 years though, the overuse of GC to keep the server alive is causing the demise of GC.
Tickets are nearly useless, there's so many.
The events get a little less appealing every time.
The drive to play events continues to drop.
People dont want to play a 'mario party' server forever, and they won't, its showing now, and it will continue to show. |
