What do people really want?

A good way to bring the daily playerbase to above 300 players would simply be to make FGunZ more like ijjiGunZ. This game was unique enough without all the unnecessary gamemodes, sets, weapons, and weird maps. True GunZ players don't need any of that in a good server. All they need is what the original game came with. And I'm pretty sure it's easier to make a GunZ server like ijji than it was to make v8, v7, v6 etc.

I know it all comes down to money to make the server run and this is where the premium shop comes in, just like it was in ijji. Donate to get the sets we know, the weapons we know and all of the other items we know.

I know why I think like this. It's because I played this game from the very beginning. People who are satisfied and love the previous FGunZ versions never played the original game hence they don't know what they missed (an amazing game). Don't get me wrong, I've always been a fan of FGunZ but not because of the different gameservers but because of the community itself.

To everyone who haven't played the original game, don't even comment. I know you all be like "Stfu Boubble, you don't know what you're talking about" or "v8 is love, v8 is live."

I know you've taken a lot of time, effort, sweat and tears to make v8 and I'm sure you're happy with the way it played out, but if we want this game to survive and maybe even get bigger again, we have to do something and that something is to bring it back to when it was an active game with an insanely high playerbase.

Thank you for still believing in GunZ. You wouldn't have made another version of GunZ if you didn't believe in the game, and that I'm thankful for.

Honestly at this point with the time and effort that went into making this current version, I don't see anything changing in terms of reverting back to an original style base of the game. I too played Gunz in 2005 to date and would love the server to be almost an mirror imagine of what Gunz once was when it had thousands of players but sadly it won't happen, times have moved on and that's whats FGunZ has done they've adapted the game to suit not just old player but potentially new players who may have never played before.

I played for around an hour yesterday and honestly I have a minor omplaint, the gem items need tweaking a little come the drop of donation ones as players will stack movement gems and delay gems to give a big advantage over those who can't afford them (P2W) but other than that I find it quite enjoyable.

A game needs to make changes to stay relevant. Ofcourse people like you who played back in the days find the old version better, but GunZ is a really old game. Most people have moved on with their life and don't play it anymore, therefore it's better to focus on attracting new players with cool, new things. Also, FgunZ has to be different from other servers to make sure people will play their server and don't move on to other ones, I think V8 did a good job with that. I understand your point of view, but honestly, they did a good thing.

If you think that this is the way that Gunz will survive why don't you make your own server. Sounds like a great opportunity to me. Just hire some DEVs and there you go.

As for FG, guys worked 1+ year on this update. They wont change it anytime soon and even if they change it they wont take back to "original". IJJI was a great Gunz server but things change.
I wonder what you think IJJI would've done better than FG if it was still alive. Gunz is 12 years old game overall and i doubt that IJJI would stay to that "original" game play.

So can you tell me what the point to slow the movement in the Gunz?
And if u don't know so they did that.

I honestly think the game will just die out eventually. As almost everyone knows the game is not beginner friendly, that's purely because of the game being way too hard to start out new when almost everyone who plays this game knows lots of moves and how to aim them. Basically being a huge skill gap between good players and players who just started out. Also because players grow old and maybe don't have as much time to play games anymore. It's hard to change something like this.

Without the room tags it is shows classic style.
About the activity points if you played 3 hours you’ll get 1 activity point automatically.
it doesn’t matter how many hours you played in the day, you must played 3 hours at least.

Honestly i don't think it would attract more players, servers which were close or the same as ijji back then didnt survive (long), staying unique compared to others is the best way to attract new players imo. People always want more and different things, its hard to make everyone happy i think the admins/devs did a great job. There are some bugs n stuff but hey as soon as the game is running smooth the playerbase will increase (this happened with v7 aswel, when v7 came out we had a playerbase of 50 a few months later we hit a 500+ online. Its just based on patience now)

Well said.

Bro i know that i am saying about The Hours PLAYED "TIME "

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.

Life*

Also stop trying to compare Freestyle GunZ with 300 players on a daily basis, that was 3~4 years ago.
The playerbase has been dropping over the last few years, we should accept that and just go with keeping the game alive (kind of like Starcraft I).

The more you change, the more people you will lose

Bring old v7 back or skip v8 and release v9. Thanks.

Or give who got banned for hacking in v7 another chance by unbanning them.

Do what you want. I'm just saying that you probably won't grow any bigger by changing things that shouldn't be changed.

That is a very subjective statement. Everyone has a different fantasy of how they imagine their ideal Gunz.

That will not happen.
I personally would've unbanned people that got a ban for toxicity and give them another shot in V8, and re-ban them if they **** up again.

Pretty much this. Catch-22.

There are almost no private servers left yet FGunZ isn't even the biggest and FGunZ been here the longest time. Explain this.

I honestly didn't want a lot of change, I liked FGunZ the way it was (maybe better anti-lead) and most importantly more/better maps - that's all. V8 is trying to become more and more like other games but the truth is that's not what GunZ is.. FGunZ is trying to become like other games and if I'm being perfectly honest, I wouldn't want to be playing a knockoff of other games I would be playing the real thing.

Freestyle GunZ = Originality (?)


There are a lot of servers like ijji.

turn gunz into an rpg

Might as well, Maiet had plans for it. Ask Jeff. Lol

Interesting. I thought raiders was a pretty cool game, shut down unfortunately. But could you imagine doing kstyle in a WoW type rpg? Would be wild lol, with pvp still included of course. Gunz is a really old game and the pvp is getting pretty stale imo, I haven't played in a while so I can't really say. Just was always fond of gunz's animation cancel style mechanics and would be interesting seeing it incorporated in a different field other than sole pvp. But a quest n00b can only dream :/

Very interesting. K-style in another game would probably be pretty sick to be honest. I hate watching this game die.. hopefully it can be revived somehow, maybe with some GunZ alike mechanies in another game.

ye agreed
