Discussion about playerbase

[StephanM]

I've said this on old servers, and I feel like I've said it on here too. I agree with George. We need to focus the attention on another game while our forum still has a good amount of activity on it. I know you're all gonna look at me like I'm some grinch who doesn't want to stay positive about this and you're all hoping for 200-500 player count days to return, but you gotta look at the facts. The two main servers left merging together would be a no-go, and our staff are better than to go on some sort of DDOS war trying to force players to come here. Advertising an old game like this with hardly any graphic work to it isn't gonna appeal to the new, younger generation that's never heard of GunZ before. Honestly even trying to get some of my own friends to play that are in their 20s is difficult because the game isn't very visually appealing. It only sticks with a very small amount of people. Advertising could work in the long-run, but advertising tends to be a very slow growth, and that's if it were to even work. Realistically by that point the game would be fully dead IMO.

I'd suggest some game names as replacements, but idk how things work as far as legalities or what our development team will be able to do based on their experience/tools they have to work with.

Honestly I would not mind that all the ingame values to back to it's origin (the maiet version).
This would mean lower damage values and such, bigger differences in terms of stats.
The use of BP, where you actually grind to get gear with still having all the original 'premium' gear to be F2P via the bounty system.
Making the donation items the new ' premium' gear with slightly better stats (only a little like the ijji gear had).

That might trigger people to come back to the game they know.
