The owners don't have enough time, I could think of a few ideas on how to get more players, but the best strategy is word of mouth, and for word of mouth to work, a gunz server has to be marketable, and I think fgunz isn't marketable enough. But at the end of the day, this all comes back to time, not enough time and manpower to make fgunz marketable.
In other words, you could advertise all day, make extreme efforts to advertise, but if your product just isn't good, it fails.
Not all old games die eventually and so will gunz you just gotta move on if it does
I think now all they should do is to let people know Freestyle GunZ is still up an running instead of advertising for new recruits.
So it's a weekend, and average player count is ~45 "active, online" players; ~20 of which are not in a training room.
It is extremely difficult to type this, but CASHMEOUTSIDE really is keeping this server going right now... s/o to them.
Is this a warning flag yet?
I've noticed this as well, usually when I hop on gunz once in a month, fgunz has a pretty decent amount of rooms, now it's just a tdm & a training room. :(Quote:

no new players are gonna join because of the noob-barrier that is k-style.
aint fun for new players who dont know the game to get dominated by people who know even just the basics
Well what's stopping experienced players from other pservers from coming over to fg?Quote:

It's not even about updates and advertising at this point the game is to old to appeal to new players and the player count is too low to appeal to old players.
imo fgunz lacks management. I can't really tell what dave/mcsic are busy with but i for one don't see any presence from them. Which is fine, fgunz has been running for years, after a while you lose interest i get that. I think someone should take some work off of their hands that really cares about this game to start managing it.Quote:

If the vision is to just go on until the player count reaches 0, then I say the plan is working.
Unfortunate.
Well, when the playerbase was 200+ people were still migrating to other pservers, but yeah, I personally also leave just bc no rooms, and sometimes always because of this (pls remove): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iWzYYSXwzowQuote:

@ management, damage control please?
This is mainly done for forum users to hangout with each other and not "pull players further outside gunz to other games"Quote:

lmao ya'll delete anything u dont like reading its incredible. ya'll banned more then half the playerbase full of bs reports then u gave the players a "updated version" although players see it as a disaster lol. staff n devs did this themselves, damage is done. move on or play a server that isnt complete and utter poo!
1. You're struggling with the language to begin with so I don't know if we even should take you seriouslyQuote:

I only agree with one part that some of the developers made a few mistakes and I even pointed them out before V8 came out, on the other hand you have no right to say that they destroyed it, if anything you're logged in to our forums with 1 post and that 1 post is literally making you look like an idiot. If you don't like our server then by all means f*ck right off to that other garbage ratted server and have everything in your pc vulnerable by a sketchy owner.
yall keep wanting updates but u keep forgeting that what killed fgunz is v8 update lmfao
How do you wanna attract new players if you have to spend big money for 2 limitbreakers? Also you get banned here for every little shit, i understand why the old players are fed up with this server. V8 changed way too much, compared to the original GunZ client. Only butthurt kids in training rooms nowadays on this server.
Convicted hackers are nothing to waste more energy on;
The spiral will continue until Dave or McSic inform the community what their plans are for the future.
McSic said new content is coming up...

The thing what killed gunz imo was the v8 update.
First of all it took forever to come out, and when it did come it was so fcking bad.
They ruined all the guns.
They implemented some retarded gem system which gave you more dmg and shit.
I remember logging in to check it out, took me 5 minutes to realise that it was the worst update I've ever seen on this game.
Uninstalled immediately.
1. lol i cant be asked to type formally on a forum bud, dont get ur panties in a bunch over it. 2. yea ya did ban more then half the server, this was way before v8 was even a thought. 3. i dont have to **** right off, this is a public domain that ive signed up for. my other account got deleted for criticizing people like you too much and they couldnt handle the internet to well. 4. PC vulnerable by a sketchy owner u say?? i coulda sworn FG had a trojan in it around v6-v7. plz dont be hypocritical sir! Devs ****ed up the version real bad the and staff banned more then half the server in v6-v7. im not worried about it but i stroll through the forums every now and again and figured id give me opinion! Unfortunately some people may need to pick on the grammar and punctuation to see that they get their way..sad sad times ;/Quote:

Regardless, most of the people in the GunZ community are all talk and no action. There's always a few exceptions but this holds true for most.
Creating new servers is one of the reasons why GunZ in general is dying, it just splits the active players even more. This forum is filled with tons of good suggestions, but the staff doesn‘t put anything into action. They rather added shit like weapon levels or gems, so much wasted time and work. There‘s no interaction with the community at all, but whatever, seems like Dave and McSic made enough money with that server.Quote:

Post got alot of thanks making me think the community wanted that aswell, but nothing was done with the suggestion.
Instead of that you tried to milk the last money out of the people, and now you talking shit to your own community...
sad story..
also shit like this from 2016 that shouldve been an easy fix but not important enough for v8Quote:

just give up, people in the community has giving them feedbacks and they did and they choose to dig a hole for this sever
here's an idea which might get some people back(for an hour or two)
send emails to all registered users.
a fcking video contest isn't going to do shit let's be honest lol
I personally think that it's time to let it go in peace,
this server (and game in general) is on it's last moments anyway.
New people are having huge difficulty in improving, causing them to give up quite quickly while the old players don't really bother to stick around anymore, which causes losses from both sides.
There's nothing much left to do, it's a fourteen year old game, at the end of the day.
You're right on that. But i think nuub players like the [r] [ia] room modifiers. I don't know but i think if they bring [r] [ia] tag they'll come back. co'z it's gonna be a lot of fun @ Mansion TDM < TROLL MODE [ON] + Stun NADE] kids will have fun doin that all day believe me. (WHY?.) Cause im one of those kids having fun doin that thing at Training room HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
Yes, because when I was a dev i was able to control what the admins/owners wanted to and chose to do in the end. That's a good one.Quote:

But oh wait you just talk, if they don't listen to you then the choices above are all you have other than quitting and playing something else or just keep talking if that's your thing. Saying the same thing over and over just in a different context means the staff will finally listen, that's why some posts have responses from staff and others don't right???Quote:

What you just said in your first sentence basically implies, "if you don't have the skills to help the server internally you're not allowed to give feedback/suggestions". You seem very triggered and emotionally unstable. Maybe you need to calm down and take a step back and not try to start up an argument with anybody who replies to you.Quote:

The patch we were testing didn't even have Damage Fall Off, GEMs, LB-X, Quest system (god fking knows why you added that shit). Not only that Dave gave me his old jokes (Maybe we should let Sunfire test the server to tell us if its good). Well maybe you guys should. Maybe you should listen to the community that spent so many years grinding this game.
Also told you to keep V7 and add New Cosmetics, Work on Antilead, Revamp Maps, CW System. Most of them got ignored ofcourse.
So yea some of us tried to help but you guys didn't listen. Sad.
P.S : You as a staff team, not you as S1lent.
Are you pissed off because you were part of the team that was involved with the v8 update and also because Taint called you out on partly ruining the server? If so let me tell you one thing. I currently have no problem with the how the game is. I still log on everyday, contribute to cw a bunch and have a fair amount of weekly hours on gunz. I'm totally fine with how v8 turned out tbh. Didn't even realize fg went through a major update at all. So good job on that. But if you're going to look at feedback and suggestions and say, "wow these ungrateful bastards asking for so much", then the issue is with yourself. Please understand the difference between feedback and criticism before you go full defensive mode.Quote:

Feed-backs are there to help the game, it's not criticism.
