Edit: Aaaaaand double confirmation on that. Stefan and Codein plan on replacing Zone with iZone.

that game looks better than zone, but has none of the qualities that made zone unique and fun in its beginning.

Such as?

[Crono]

that is some awful dubstep

[Draenin]

I don't entirely understand what made Zone get royally screwed up to begin with.

[papajchris]

yet to find another game with the same fighting style as zone, using mouse to aim and shoot is completely different from the original fighting method on zone.

at the beginning, there was no way to gain an unfair advantage over another player, skill would always prevail, but balance went down the drain and became an unimportant afterthought.

it also felt like a little village, everyone knew eachother, there was a sort of hierarchy of skill in zone within itself where anyone and everyone could be challenged for their place.

This new game they call zone might have some of these aspect, thats yet to be seen, but me, and i suspect most of the players who used to play and enjoy zone in its peak probably wont see this as zones big revival, because it dosent look anything like zone.

So your saying PC Zone killed PC Zone?

That's essentiall what a Guild would accomplish a small group of people whom know each other.. except now you will have more players so never a dull moment.. o.O

iZone still has a small community averaging about 50-90 players during non-peak hours and about 120-150 ish around peak.. Showing a downward trend in playercount over the last week or so. And the only thing that does not look like zone.. is the drop ship, and the use of classic bodies over human2 bodies... not sure about the maps themselves maybe they changed. I really only played zone for pc the first few weeks it was released. but the tileset is still zone tileset for the maps.. yeah the GUI may look different on iZone but it has been yet to be stated if they have a divide in scripts used for pc and those for iphone for all we know when iZone hits pc it could look more like pc zone then the current iZone.. we just don't know yet no information has been released..

The benefits to iZone becomming a p server is that currently the 2 gold servers zone and gk have dropped from 60-80+ players each to about 20 players total.. so ofcourse now that there is no extra revune created by gold subscribers the obvious answer is to tax everyone for gold.. but with iZone being a pc server.. its already gold and gives you high incentive to actually purchase gold to play a server with alot of players on it (potentially).. this may act in our favors and may ease the need to restrict players from the player world tabs from harsh restrictions.. i can't say for sure but it makes alot more sense then some of the other theories others have come up with about eurocenter hating graal... lets just sit back and see what happens before we bash it so hard?

It was never a dull moment in that small community.

Tighter restrictions on trials is what made those servers become what they are. If they would actually lift the restrictions (which Zone already did, it just needs someone to balance the ****) then go on iZone and go "Yo, if you like Zone. You should try out our PC Counter part!". iZone would ease the restrictions for other servers, but at a price for those who like Zone PC.

iClassic isn't saving Classic PC tho.. o.O and Classic PC is the best built pc server in terms of actual quality.. not in terms of frequencies of updates..

and zone might have had crappy managment.. right now it pretty much has none.. it has no players.. players who log on can do what ever they want and yet no one plays..

I already said someone has to go in and balance weapons and such, then promote it because right now people still think there's restrictions.

Information has been released and it's going to be iZone with re done controls pretty much.

Elaborate how they are "unballanced" then? Because I can't find any complaint threads even as far back as 2009 where people complained the weapons are unballanced..

Yeah, I know it's gonna be iZone.
