That was not the general point benny as trying to make. I don’t exactly know him except he got banned for exploit along with alan saipo and another person I forgot I think. But he does point out a very good point, just because hes not been here for the past year or months does’ not mean he did not witness it, just by the player base and how familiar the things are its easy to tell little has improved in his perspective. In my opinion I have to agree with him to a certain extent that its slowly decaying but its not dead. Now most of you are saying about being on different times and how people have lives yes. But the world is pretty diverse, I know some players who come from Australia, Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore, Philippines, Thailand, Middle East, Egypt, Netherlands, London, United States, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Switzerland and many more. Honestly the server would be active on every point of the day because we can range from Australia to Asia to Europe to Africa to North and South America. One way or another this server had a lot more players. You need to accept that its really been off. We use to be more culturally diverse but now I feel like that things have been slowing down lately. I understand people have lives to live but, really even if everyone is working on Australia, everyone in the United States are busy playing at like 9-10pm. And thats just an example, meaning even if one point this area is busy another the world would be awake to play. In my opinion we also lost quite a huge number of Netherlands player. And I usually monitor how much players came in, back when Heather was Admin I remember we had a 90k ish playerbase, but look right now its almost been a year I dont remember really and we still haven’t reached a 100k player base. Just check /baltop to see how many players joined, I guess thats ‘sorta’ accurate. The server is really slowing down and there are new players now adays, but really these new players easily lose interest after eventually getting a house on the server, and the older players on the server are eventually gonna quit if there isn’t much to continue with. I don’t think peoples mindsets should revolve around plots or anything but should be more diverse. For example bank robbing would be more of a priority over reputation in my point. That way you bring back more action for criminals and police. People aren’t always interested in all these long term goals because this is all a game so this server needs more improvements on not just regular updates but major updates that can be attractive. I also find this very unequal based on events time. For example for us Australians or Asians we barely get to experience the new events just because we live on a different time zones when there are less people. Were eventually getting bored of the server as well. We understand that there is less staff now but I hope you take in to consideration on selecting players who come from the eastern side of the world so that we too may be able to eventually join events.
Anyways, I forgot how long I was writing but Benny has a point the server is going downhill as a whole, its reflected in the lack on interest of players to play or to continue playing on here. I hope everything gets better soon I guess.
