OK I think we have come to the point where we have some tough decisions as a zone to make. We no longer have 500+ players logged in constantly, which is currently what the zone is setup for. We have so many different things running all at once, that all the separate arena's have perhaps 4/5 people in, so nobody else comes across to make it start. So we have a choice, we can continue along in this vain, and keep our fingers crossed that somehow miraculously the zone will pickup and we gain perhaps another 100 players back OR we look to take action quickly:
1 thing we can look to do, is take the zone back to when we averaged this amount of players (ie. set it up for approx. 200 player), old players will know what this looks like, but for those who don't:
-- Removal of automation of wbduel/javduel/base. - This went automated when we had tons of players so it was always populated, hell we had wbduel and wbduel2 running at same time. Elim was always designed to be the main event for many years. Now we have 5 ppl in elim (don't play as too few), 4 in javduel (same), 7 in wbduel (not playing).
-- More Squad based events for players such as squad dm etc, as mentioned in separate post.
-- No hosted events during specifically quiet times.
-- no automated events, ER host rather then bot controlling with more variety.
This was pre 2004 settings of zone.
We could also try and where inbetween these settings, but the point is I will go with what u guys decide, do u want this to stay as is?? or do you want to look to have populated arena's that u can actually play in?? Or do you think you can find a better solution? As someone has told me, we are pretty much at the "critical mass", so the only thing we cant do is nothing.
