GunZ won't die anytime soon. It has been said 2-3 years ago, when I had my own private server. There will always be veterans who will play this game. I have been seeing quite a few new faces here since I have joined, both to the server and to the game aswell. I like to see people still actually training and learning skills in Town, and even more to see other oldgens helping them.

The community.. Well, since I have joined I have made my fair share of friends. From day one. Each friend and I have our own 'thing', our own joke etc. They've welcomed me here very well. Sure, like in every other server, there is the toxic part of the community, the racists, egoists and so on. The racism is a big part of FG, and I have played ALOT of servers and this is the one with the most racism in it. Arabs hating on israelis and vice versa. It's annoying to see that every day here, and whats also bad is seeing the veterans hating on new players. Newgens, trashgens, kids are just some of the words they use on new players, and then they complain about player count (??!)

Dave and McSic are for sure skillful and experienced coders and they deserve big credit for keeping this server alive for a long time. However, there are quite a few issues players are complaining about, and nothing is being done. Don't get me wrong, we are all humans and they cannot put this game ahead of their personal life. All they should know is that they are not alone and there are people willing to help, and be just a little more active.

Thats my two cents. Don't take it as the right opinion.
Well you assume that veterans are the only people who keep the game alive but sooner or later those people will also grow up and start their life path and dump GunZ because it's outdated and not as entertaining as before.
The main issue is that big companies develop new games, take Fortnite for example and people move onto them instead of staying on GunZ which is normal but trying to run a totally new game as a private server, with a bit of advertisement and time investment, community will surely grow bigger.

GunZ source code is so out of date and so messy, it's a pain in the ass to work with and it's time to trash it and start something new, hell I'm sure that a Maplestory private server would contain more players than FG ever had.
