ijji was unbalanced as **** lol and we shouldn't dwell in the past we live to play the game in this era.
I can assure you that any vanilla server will not be successful in this era, GunZ had it's peak.
I honestly suggest to just get adjusted or create your own server, But any vanilla server out there thats just like " Ijji " so the speak. Will not make it at all.
Ijji re-makes, or servers that try to mimic ijji are a huge failure (2013-2017 all failed). Even back in 2013 when Aeria closed and a few good ijji-remakes popped up nobody gave a shit. I prefer v8 over ijji, because my mind is in 2017 not dwelling over fun childhood memories that wouldn't return even if GunZ reopened.
The ijji based servers died because they weren't known in any way. FGunZ is the most known GunZ community out there, the developers are known for their great work, same goes for the leaders. People know FGunZ and I'm sure a lot of people would join us if the server was ijji based.
Watch The Throne is a great example. It was created by a known player (Yong) and therefore a lot of people joined it. The playerbase was insane just 2 days after the release of theserver, all because people knew the people who made it. It's all about popularity.
But you're right. It took one year to make v8 so it would indeed be a shame to just through it away and make something 'new'.
The whole working bounty thing i suppose is a good way to reward time spent to improve your stats etc instead of everything just free, however i never used donors all the way up to 99 and i really just cba using a sword to kill and get bounty, and i hate quest and will never touch it. The tags were fun and mabye could have been redesigned in a way that limited tags like ia and r into like 'and' rooms or for DM only something like that, i'm just making up stuff but the point is while i agree the update is relatively positive, it has just kind of reverted a bit to the old style, while that's well and good, instead of seeing 150+ i now see 79 players online in peak? lol? I just can't be bothered. If i see the player count go up to 150 i'l play again, until then i'm just going to sit on the forums.
That is just nostalgia, everyone wants to go back to the "good old days" when there was 4k+ players, but that isn't going to happen. Although I will say there is definitely room for improvement in quite a few areas of V8 on the staffs part.
things like room tags that someone mentioned earlier is a big reason i believe some players still play on this server.
shit like jump speed and gravity adjustments were what could turn an average room to an exciting and crazy one and allow for more fun than the original game would bring.
these tags are so unique, since they werent in the original gunz, and yet you limit them to being barely used in only certain events.
things like roomtags and more, skillmaps, gamemodes, fun weapons, are what keeps alot of us playing.
