Long time member here. On and off forum lurker & once in a blue moon I log ingame to rid the ol gunz itch. Just tonight I decided to unwind a lil after work with some quick gunz action and while I was having fun ****in around in a skill map training room, the wave of nostalgia hit me like a damn truck. Hell my whole gaming childhood memories just started flooding in lol!
Anyways I write this because these days I rarely check in and wanted to see the state of what fgunz was in. Glad to see theres still a community thriving with 100 players (atleast everytime I've gotten on the playercount was 100+).
The sentiments & want of revival that degijas and kadai have expressed is definitely what I've felt throughout the years about GunZ myself. And I bet it's what a lot of old gunz players feel as well.
What degijas said above is very true. It really just depends on what Dave & McSic want to do with this server. I wonder what their game plan is for FG in the long run. Do they see this server as end game? Or simply as a side hustle. Quite frankly I'm surprised this server is even still running. Hosting a server must cost money right? Does FG even still recieve donations? If not then why else keep this dying game/community alive? I'm not trying to stir up drama or raise hate towards them with any of this, I'm just genuinely curious about that stuff because if the goal was to collect a bag, then why wouldnt you do as much as possible to maximize earnings? I've always just been a player here, so I wouldn't know what the $ numbers are but yeah I just wonder if FG is even profitable/worth keeping alive.
Even so, I do believe GunZ can and should have a resurgence. I feel like gaming (competetive scene) is getting stale and GunZ is the perfect candidate to bring back the edge. Big games like League & Fortnite have gotten old with burnout (yes, just like gunz has) and these days I see big streamers just playing variety games rather than competitive ones. In short, I believe GunZ can have the momentum & organic growth much like Fortnite did, and we have the power to jumpstart that.
I have so much more to write but it's late night and I was just getting some lingering thoughts out. But I'll reinforce degijas's suggestion. It mostly depends on how Dave & McSic want to move foward with this server. If they want to raise the playerbase/community, they MUST invest in advertisement (just like any other business). But it also depends on us as well. We as a community need to be hungry enough to want to gain the amount of players that we seek (with user made content)
I have so many ideas and thoughts I want to share but I'ma keep it at that for this one. I'll have a more organized post sometime soon but yea
